(Hallowell, ME) Paste & Pages is an open call for artists working in collage or the book arts. The show will be an exhibition of artists’ books and artwork that incorporates collage materials that include but are not necessarily limited to collage, mixed media drawings (with paper additions), fine art prints using chine colle, and other three dimensional objects. Deadline for email submissions is midnight on May 1, 2013. Exhibition dates for Paste & Pages are June 7 through June 29, 2013.

Eligibility
Artists should be residents of Maine at least part of the year or otherwise have a strong connection to our state. Artists submitting from out of state are responsible for the costs of shipping work to and from the Harlow. There is a non-refundable entry fee of $20 for non-members and $10 for current KVAA members. The fee is per artist, not per work of art entered, and entitles you to submit up to 4 works of art.

Media
Two and three-dimensional work artwork that incorporates pasted materials in various ways, including but not necessarily limited to collage, mixed media drawings (with paper additions), fine art prints using chine colle, artist’s books and other three-dimensional objects. Diptychs and triptychs will be considered and judged as one entry.

New and Original Work
Previously shown at the Harlow is not eligible. Only original or originally printed works will be admitted. Photocopies, color, or computer generated copies are not acceptable for entry. Giclee reproductions are not eligible. Works submitted must have been created during the last three years.

Framing
All two dimensional entries, with the exception of oils and acrylics, must be framed with either glass or plexiglass. Unframed canvases are fine, as long as they are gallery wrapped (no staples visible). Frames and canvases must be wired and ready to hang (with two eye screws and steel wire). Saw-tooth hangers, “clip” frames or unstable frames will not be accepted.

The selection process for “Paste & Pages” will be through a panel of jurors comprised of KVAA members Alice Rohman, Barbra Whitten, Petrea Noyes, and Harlow Gallery staff members Deb Fahy and Nancy Barron. For complete entry details, please click here.
