The Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) Temporary Art Exhibition Program announces a “call for artists” for its upcoming juried exhibition entitled, “CLE Celebrates Art,” running from May 1, 2012 through July 31, 2012.
The deadline for artist submissions is Wednesday, February 29, 2012 at 4:00 p.m.
The Cleveland Plus Region—Northeast Ohio has a vibrant community of talented professional artists and a melting pot of emerging artists.
To celebrate these artists, CLE is currently accepting proposals for artwork from artists working in any two-dimensional medium (paintings, oils, acrylics, watercolors, photography, and drawings). This is an open “call,” intended to highlight the creativity and accomplishments of the region’s emerging and professional artists. Traditional, modern, contemporary, abstract, and folk art are eligible. Reproductions, such as giclees, lithographs and serigraphs, will also be accepted.
Selected exhibitors’ art pieces will be on display in Concourse A, ticketing level, and various other areas throughout the terminal where nearly 30,000 passengers will view them daily. The temporary exhibits change quarterly.
According to Smith, “The Temporary Art Exhibition Program is a free initiative available to all artists in the Cleveland Plus region. The airport wants to showcase the diverse arts and culture of the region.”
