You “Literally” don’t want to miss this upcoming ARTSWIN exhibit

Published on

Visual art and works of literature are not far from one another. Both take their audience to new worlds, new points of view, and new ways of thinking. “Literally” is an exciting new exhibit that gives visual artists the opportunity to reinterpret famous literary works to showcase at the Arts Council’s Bower-Suhrheinrich Foundation Gallery in Downtown Evansville.

Registered artists will select a literary work from a predetermined list created by the Arts Council — check out the list below. Despite the exhibit name, artists do not have to interpret their assignment literally. Submissions may be created in any media, 2D or 3D, and may be literal or metaphorical representations of the assigned literary work.

The deadline to register is Tuesday, Feb. 21. The assignment list will be opened to artists at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 22. To ensure there are no repeated entries, when an artist chooses a literary assignment, it will be removed from the list.

Artists will have until April 15 to complete the work. The exhibit opens Thursday, April 20 and runs until Thursday, May 25. A public artists reception is scheduled for 5:30 to 7 p.m. Saturday, April 29.

Interested artists can register online here or register with a paper entry here.

ARTSWIN announces 2023 exhibits, including brand new themes

Published on

A new year means new exhibits at the Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana. Some old favorites are returning to the Bower-Suhrheinrich Foundation Gallery, but there are also several new exhibit themes to experience in 2023.

The first exhibit of the year is a twist on the Arts Council black-and-white exhibit. “RED” is an art exhibit limited exclusively to the red spectrum. Artists are only allowed to use red, white and black in their work. The monochromatic show begins January 24 and runs until March 2.

Another new exhibit is “Literally.” Registered artists will select a popular literary work from a list of pre-determined options and then create pieces inspired by their selected book. The exhibit is in April to coincide with National Literature Month and National Library Week. The Arts Council will release the prospectus for “Literally” in January.

The third newest themed exhibit is a ceramics show, “Wall to Table.” Arts Council staff will have a national call-for-artists to bring in artists and entries from across the country. The “Wall to Table” ceramics exhibit will open in August.

Other familiar exhibits will return in 2023, including our kindergarten through eighth grade exhibit “Young at Art” and our Signature School IB student exhibit “Caliber.” Our members-only show “Art in the City” returns in June, and our annual Halloween exhibit “Spooky Show” opens in September. The year ends as it always does with the “Holiday Fine Arts Sale” in November.

All exhibits except for “Young at Art” and “Caliber” have entry fees for artists. Non-members pay $20 for the first entry in an exhibit and $10 for the second entry. Members pay nothing on the first entry and $10 for the second entry. ARTSWIN membership is $50 a year. To learn more about becoming a member, visit artswin.org/members.

In addition to gallery exhibits and receptions, the Arts Council plans to bring back several popular programs this year, including the On The Roof concert series, Kids Film Day, Brown Bag Concert Series, and ParksFest.

You’ll see “RED” at this upcoming Arts Council exhibit

Published on

A blank canvass and an infinite color pallet with no subject parameters can be daunting to an artist. Where do you begin? Having parameters can help — limitations can actually drive creativity.

That’s why the Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana believes its next exhibit will be attractive to artists.

RED is exhibit limited to a single color, which, you guessed it is red.

Entries for RED are limited to the red color spectrum. Black and white may also be included but do not need to be included. Work with any color other than red will not be accepted at drop-off. Frames and matting must also only be black or white.

This is an open-call exhibit, so register to drop-off your work by Jan. 9, then bring your RED piece to the Arts Council of Jan. 11. Ohio Valley Art League Executive Director Samantha Denson will jury the exhibit for entry as well as for awards. The Arts Council will notify artists by Jan. 13 if they were accepted into the exhibit.

The exhibit will run Jan. 24 to March 2.

For more details and information — including how to register, art guidelines, and more — please read the RED 2023 prospectus here.
