The Gallery of Fine Art and Design at the Ivy Tech Columbus campus is seeking fine art submissions by local and regional women artists for an upcoming gallery show displaying September 7th-November 30th, 2012. The works may be in any medium including, but not limited to, painting, illustration, fiber arts, calligraphy, photography, literary works and three dimensional works. Artists’ works will be juried by a panel including members of the ReStart Committee and Ivy Tech (School of Fine Arts & Design) faculty members. The gallery space is limited, therefore not all submissions will be selected for the gallery show.
All submission emails must be received by 5 p.m. on July 27th, 2012.
The submissions must be submitted via jpeg attachment in an email to Jan Banister jbaniste@ivytech.edu (Please pay special attention to the address and note that if you do not get a response within 24 hours your email may not have been received.)
This special gallery show is in conjunction with the ReStart Women’s Symposium. The mission of ReStart is to encourage, motivate and inspire women living or rethinking their life purpose, to live a life of creative expression in a field such as fine arts, creative arts, or visual communication. The ReStart Women’s Symposium is an all-day event that takes place September 13, 2012. An artist’s reception for this gallery show will be held on the evening of the symposium. We look forward to seeing some of the amazing works by the area’s best women artists.

Request for Proposals - Destination Fall Creek Mural
Call to Artists - Request for Proposals (RFP)
Destination Fall Creek Mural
Deadline for Submissions
August 17th, 2012 at 5:00 p.m. (EDT) postmark deadline. No exceptions.
Mural Specifics
Destination Fall Creek (DFC) is requesting proposals from artists or artist teams who are interested in creating outdoor public murals. This RFP is an open call to artists from the greater Indianapolis area.
There are three walls that can be used for the DFC Mural, all located near where the Monon Trail crosses E. Fall Creek Parkway Drive.
This DFC Mural will be painted by volunteers as part of the 2012 Lilly Day of Service taking place on October 11th, 2012. The artist whose design is selected should:
Be aware that the final design may need to be simplified or altered a bit to make it appropriate for volunteer application (i.e. solid colors, simplified lines, etc.) These may just be minor alterations and this process will have the artist on board at all times.
Transfer the final design from paper to the wall it will be painted upon. The artist may choose to do this on his/her own but if that is not possible than the coordinating group will work with the artist to find options to do this in a timely manner.
Provide oversight and direction of volunteers on October 11th, 2012 to ensure the final product reflects the artists original intent.
A final design will be selected by a jury of community residents and artist professionals and the winning selection will receive a $2,000 stipend provided by the Central Indiana Community Foundation (CICF). The mural should reflect the vision of Destination Fall and the culture of the mid-north community Creek (See Appendix A for more information). The jury reserves the right not to award any design, or to award several designs.
