Raglan Shire puts out a call for artists

artwalk-2013May 5th through May 26th will see the annual Raglan Shire Artwalk take place across the regions of the Shire, allowing visitors to wander along leafy roads and paths, taking-in the builds and in particular discovering and admiring the pictures, painting, sculptures and models on display.

Every year, around 100 exhibitors participate in the Artwalk, and the organisers hope that this year will be no different.

Applications for participation as an artist opened on April 8th, and will remain open through until April 28th, at 21:00 SLT. Artists of all shapes and sizes are warmly invited to participate, and submission of reproductions of RL artwork (painting, drawing, digital fine art, printmaking that can be imported and put on a prim) are welcomed, along with SL photography, manipulated photography and sculpture.

There are a full set of guidelines and requirements for participation in the event, but in brief:

  • The event is a non-juried show
  • Artists can display more than one piece if they wish
      • 2D (“flat” art pieces will be awarded a maximum of 15 prims, and individual pictures should be 1 prim, including the frame
      • 3D art (sculptures, etc.), will be awarded a maximum of 500 prims for up to three pieces of work. Artists are requested to state the number of prims per piece in their application
  • All the above art forms are welcome, but should be rated PG / G – so no nudity, please!
  • Sales of works are allowed
  • Group membership will be required in order to display work
  • Questions should be addressed to Teal Freenote or Liandras Jameson in-world.
