DUMBO Arts Festival Now Accepting Artist Submissions

April 22, 2014 mariekazalia Leave a comment

An artist recently asked if I thought it *worth it* for her to do art festivals.

Of course that depends on the venue, the artwork to be shown, and the goals or expectations of the artist, plus that artist’s willingness to expend the time and energy at the fair. If the artist has two-dimensional artwork such as framed photographs or paintings to exhibit and sell at the fair, there will need to be an additional investment into the equipment needed (such as a booth, lighting, and printed material to distribute at the festival etc). Perhaps some questions that artists should ask themselves would include–Would the physical presence of my art at the fair accentuate my online presence, and vice versa, or even my reputation as an artist? Will I meet gallerists at the fair who will view my work? Will other valuable connections be made? Will sales off-set expenditures?

DUMBO Arts Festival recently began accepting submissions.

Perhaps attend an art fair or festival first, to see for yourself, and talk to exhibiting artists there. Ask others about the pros and cons of their fair experience.

The Admin of this venue asked me to share POPPOSITIONS 2014 open call.

“We would be very grateful if you could spread it across your channels,” they said.

POPPOSITIONS, which takes place during art Brussels, is not the usual commercial with white cubes, but rather an experiment with the fair format, changing location for each edition and with a clear site-specific focus. Their third edition will take place in the Dexia Art Centre, Brussels, in April 2014. Applications are open until 14 February.

POPPOSITIONS http://poppositions.com is now welcoming submissions for its third edition, which will be held from 24-27 April 2014 in parallel with Art Brussels in the former
