Yosemite
Renaissance XXIX
Call
for Artists - Deadline: November 16, 2013
Yosemite Renaissance is an annual competition/exhibition which is
intended to encourage diverse artistic interpretations of Yosemite. Its
goals are to bring together the works of serious contemporary artists
that do not simply duplicate traditional representations; to establish
a continuum with past generations of Yosemite artists; and to help
re-establish visual art as a major interpretive medium of the landscape
and a stimulus to the protection of the environment. Historically, the
arts have played a very important role in the establishment of our
State and National Parks. It is our hope that they can be just as
important in future efforts to preserve and protect that heritage.
Eligibility
The Yosemite Renaissance XXIX competition is open to all living
artists. Subject matter is limited to recent works on the landscape,
environment, wildlife and people of Yosemite or the environment of the
Sierra. Both representational and non-representational submissions are
accepted. Original artwork may be in any medium including the
following: Painting (any medium); Photography/Digital; and Other (All
other two- and three-dimensional media, including drawings, pastels,
printmaking, textiles, and all 3-dimensional works). Size is limited to
works that can be shipped in containers not exceeding maximum U.P.S.
dimensions of 130 inches, length and girth combined (girth is the
distance around the package). Triptychs or other multi-image pieces
(exhibited under one title) should not exceed 48 x 48" and should be
framed as a single unit. Each artist is limited to eight entries. No
more than two entries from any artist will be included in the exhibit.
