Opportunity

This winter Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts will present an exhibition of artist-designed mini-golf featuring 19 extreme and inventive holes (two nine hole courses with a common tenth, grand finale hole). UICA’s mini-golf course will take over all five galleries at our 41 Sheldon Boulevard location.

Information

Your challenge is to create a single hole for this mini golf course. Artists, designers, and architects are invited to design, build and install holes that respond to and utilize UICA’s floors, columns, hallways, windows, rafters, and more.

If selected to participate in this exhibition, you will receive an honorarium of $150, $300 or $500. UICA’s curatorial committee will award the honoraria based on the wit, creativity, structural integrity, playability, and feasibility of your golf hole.

Wit: Ideas that awaken amusement and pleasure

Creativity: Wildly innovative and visually stunning

Structural Integrity: Must be able to withstand use by thousands of players of all ages and sizes.

Playability: Mini-golf should be fun, not frustrating. Please design a hole that players can sink consistently in 2-5 putts.

Feasibility: You will be responsible for the design, construction, maintenance, installation, and de-installation of your piece. Each hole must be designed with barriers to contain stray golf balls. Since the course will be located indoors, we do not want golf balls to become airborne, endangering players and/or our windows.

First friday artwalk for January 2011 “Raw Realities” exhibit at Art6 Gallery. Art6 Gallery is located at 6 East Broad Street Richmond VA 23219.

Information

The theme of “raw realities” or transformations will include many topics relevant to life: political, economical,the status of the atmosphere, earth changes, illness, disabilities, art as a “healer”,  etc. It could be open to many ‘realities” that we face day-to-day in many ways. If not a personal statement, then it could be our creative expression of our understanding of the reality of the “transformations” life takes on in others as we see, interpret and observe them.

Live poets are encouraged and welcome to perform at the opening reception as well as other performers with works relevant to the theme.
