The Stephen & Peter Sachs Museum invites art teachers throughout the St. Louis, MO region to submit artworks by their students answering the directive below for inclusion in an exhibition of Community Art.
ELIGIBILITY: Open to all K-12 students in and around the St. Louis, Missouri region.
DIRECTIVE: Imagine, design, and create a two-dimensional (2D) interpretation of your perfect urban garden. What would the layout look like? What plants or produce would you want to grow? Artwork will be submitted digitally.
ENTRY RULES:
1. Only original student work will be shown, and must be completed in 2022. No videos or 3D work (sculptures) will be considered (except as 2D submission). Works will be accepted in the form of painting, drawing, printmaking, or 2-D mixed media but to be submitted digitally at 300dpi or higher.
2. Digital files should not be larger than 10x15 inches for file size. The selected artworks will be printed to this size for display in the exhibition and will be installed in the Sachs Museum galleries.
3. All submissions should be submitted digitally (300 dpi). If this is a hardship, please contact Nezka Pfeifer (npfeifer@mobot.org) to make alternative arrangements.
4. COMPLETE entry form information must be submitted with each artwork submitted for consideration. This includes a short statement by each student on what the work is about--this information will be included on the exhibition label. Work submitted without complete information will not be considered for exhibition. Please include the school information and grade level for each student submitting work.
5. Maximum number of submissions: TWENTY-FIVE submissions per art teacher per school.
6. Art teachers will be emailed a link to a submission platform after the intent for participation is confirmed. If you are at the ArtCall.org submission page, you have received the special link to enter submissions.
7. All work submitted will be subject to a juried competition for inclusion in the final exhibition. Submitting a work does not guarantee it will appear in the exhibition.
8. Works will not be for sale to the public.
ENTRY FEE: THERE IS NO ENTRY FEE.
JURORS: A panel of selected museum professionals and Garden employees will select works for display in the exhibition. Not all works submitted will be selected for the exhibition.
