We're excited to announce the Artrageous Birds Juried Exhibition.
Artrageous Birds is an annual, themed, juried exhibition produced by the Whitewater Arts Alliance. It consists of two side-by-side exhibitions, one physical and one digital, both displayed in the Cultural Arts Center Gallery, 402 W. Main Street in Whitewater, Wisconsin.
Artwork selected for the Salon Exhibition (SALON) will be displayed using the traditional, in-gallery experience while artwork selected for the Digital Exhibition (DIGITAL) will be displayed using projection and television equipment in the gallery. Both SALON and DIGITAL will each have their own online web gallery to display their respective selected artwork. Whitewater Arts Alliance has successfully pioneered this multi-faceted exhibition approach in several other of its recent exhibitions.
The theme of Artrageous Birds is, well, birds -- artistic works depicting or inspired by birds are eligible for submission. SALON is open to all 2D and 3D mediums; DIGITAL is open to 2D mediums only.
This is a juried acceptance exhibition with similar, but separate, submission procedures. Entrants complete an online registration form, pay the registration fees, and upload photographic images of their work which will be used by the jury panel to make its selections.
Entry Process (All Divisions)
Digital photographs must be uploaded to complete a submission. These digital photographs will be used by the jurors to make their decisions. For the SALON, final award decisions will only be made once the physical artwork has been delivered to the gallery.
Uploaded image files must be in JPEG format, with at least 1920 pixels on the longer side and a maximum file size of 5 MB. Uploaded images may not include signatures or watermarks. Submissions with incorrectly formatted images may be rejected.
Submissions will be made through ArtCall. Each division has its own Call for Art at ArtCall. Click one of the buttons below to begin the submission process. We hope you will enter both divisions but they require separate submissions. New users will be required to create an ArtCall profile with user login and password. Existing ArtCall users need only login and follow the process for a new submission.
The preferred method of payment is through a credit card on the ArtCall site (using Stripe). Checks will be accepted if you enter the Coupon/Promo Code "PayOffline" which will allow you to make your entry without entering payment. If you choose to pay offline, after you make the submission, mail your check to: Whitewater Arts Alliance, 402 W. Main Street, Whitewater, WI 53190. You may also make payment in-person at the WAA Cultural Arts Center Gallery at 402 W. Main Street, Whitewater, WI during gallery open hours. If payment is not received within 7 days of entry, the submissions will not be included in the jurying process.
Acceptances will be issued by email by the date listed above.
Staff will do their best to notify those with incorrectly submitted entries, but it is the responsibility of the artist to submit correctly and on time. ArtCall allows entrants to make changes to their submissions, but no changes may be made after the submission deadline.
We look forward to seeing your incredible work and celebrating this exciting exhibition together.
Calls for Art will be open soon.
