annual national juried art exhibition, October 4 -October 31 at the
Victor F. Keen Gallery in Las Vegas, Nevada. “What Goes Bump In The
Night” will feature that which captures the art of the sublime, creepy,
scary, things that make your skin crawl and captures the pain of
personal suffering: there are many things in life that go bump in the
night some physical some emotional and some psychological. All work will
use clay as the primary medium and capture what we fear in the dark

the open west
is an annual open competition and exhibition inviting work from
national and international artists practising contemporary and
conceptual art. Work submitted can include painting, installation, film
and sound, textile, photography, ceramics, drawing and print,
performance, sculpture, glass, metal and plastics.
Continuing
an exploration of fine art forms, the selection of work for 2013 will
also examine the skills of the contemporary maker and include
experimental and digital technologies together with traditional
processes.
The
first exhibition will be at the National Trust’s Newark Park, an
unusual and atmospheric Tudor hunting lodge set in rural south
Gloucestershire which houses an eclectic collection of art and objects
within its architecture and is set in a dramatic landscape.
The
second exhibition will be held in Cheltenham (full venue details to be
announced shortly). This area holds a nationally important collection of
the Arts & Crafts Movement in Britain.
Two distinctly different environments will allow the open west
to curate an exhibition of two parts, exploring the crossover of
disciplines between craft and fine art; curating works in surprising
spaces to create new contextual layers. Selected work will resonate with
a different meaning at each site.
Up
to 40 artists will be included in the exhibition, each with the
possibility of showing more than one work at each venue during the three
month exhibition period.

PROJECT ARTIST RESIDENCIES AND STUDIO RENTALS are available in a
restored 19th century former mill building located in the small town of
Cummington, Massachusetts. The funded residencies are intended to
provide a place and support for emerging and professional contemporary
artists, writers, curators or critics to complete a specific project.
International artists working in ceramics with an upcoming US exhibition
are encouraged to apply and produce
works in the US to avoid costly international shipping. Up to four
studio rentals are available for ongoing production of art either short
or long term. One funded resident studio is available for a 150 square
foot space in the shared group studio. Other spaces are available in
the group studio in 150, 200 and 400 square feet spaces and there is one
private, 800 square foot studio. Studio rentals rent monthly, include
basic utilities and cost $250, $300 and $350 accordingly. Artists have
24 hour access to their studio however between 8pm and 8 am it is quiet
work only. Artists are expected to maintain a relatively clean and
organized environment in their own and shared spaces.
Project
Art only provides studio space. Housing, food, supplies, materials and
firings are not included. A list of local housing is available, some
within walking distance. While a car is highly recommended for a short
term residency it is possible to exist without one. There is a
hardware and general store within walking distance. Supplies can be
ordered and delivered in advance. Transportation to and from the
airport can be arranged.
For artists working in ceramics –
electric firings and spray booth are available on site. Supplies can be
purchased in advance and delivered. There are several wood kilns in
nearby studios that are potentially available to residents – a list can
be provided but all arrangements are the responsibility of the artists.
STUDIO RENTALS – same as the residencies described above, however, the
rentals are for year long terms, are not project based and can be
renewed.
RESIDENCIES – Project Art seeks proposals for short
term artist residencies that range from a minimum of two weeks to a
maximum of three months. In 2013, the residencies are offered June 15 –
September 15. Proposals will be reviewed and chosen according to
individual merit, space needs and time availability. Each year, one of
the proposals is awarded a funded studio which is provided rent free for
up to three months. The funded residency is chosen from among the
applications submitted.
FUNDED ARTIST RESIDENCY – One 150
square foot studio space is available for up to three months. It
includes basic work tables and shelving, access to an electric kiln for
firing, shared workspace and public areas. Does not include cost of
firings or materials. Additional space may be available and is awarded
based on quality of project and studio availability.

presentation of completed artwork or project is required at conclusion
of residency. The studio is not generally open to the public but there
are periodic public events, tours and visiting professionals.
