This July, we’re inviting artists to transform The Art League Gallery with installation art. We’re calling the exhibit “Not a Box.”
All Art League member artists are invited to enter. Entry is online only, and the deadline is June 1, 2016.
If you’ve never created an installation before, never fear! We’re here to help out. Here are some answers to the most frequently asked questions about this exhibit — and if you have any not answered here, please get in touch with Gallery staff at 703-683-1780 or [email protected].
Installation art is any site-specific artwork — that is, anything executed as part of a space instead of simply being hung on the wall or displayed on a pedestal. Artists are encouraged to use this opportunity to engage with and transform a space within the Gallery.
Yes! You can download the PDF floor plan here. Please note that the Solo Room and Gallery 75 (in gray, on the right) are not available to use for this exhibit.
We have limited space in the Gallery, but there is no restriction on size. The juror will choose pieces that will adequately fit the space we have. Artists can submit small or large installations.
If you have specific requirements, include that information, but leave some flexibility in your proposal: the juror and Gallery Director will ultimately decide which area will best showcase the artwork.
Yes, and we encourage you to do so!
We have a 60-pound weight limit, but are open to ideas from the artist for installation. If you have specific questions for installation, please contact the Gallery at 703-683-1780 or [email protected].
Yes, but we have limited equipment. Please contact the Gallery if you have questions.
Yes! Artists are allowed to submit up to three images per submission (up to three submissions). A drawing/plan/visualization is encouraged.
