Art|Everywhere Call to Artists
March 30th, 2010Opportunity
Submit work for the Art|Everywhere Storefront Art Initiative in Downtown Norfolk.
Information
Art|Everywhere is a celebration of Downtown Norfolk and all that it could be. It is an opportunity for you to show your work in a venue that is a half-mile long and sees thousands of pedestrians each week.
For eight remarkable weeks this spring, empty storefront windows along Granby Street in Downtown Norfolk will be
transformed by art. The corridor will be one monumental gallery. The windows and facades of vacant properties will be the walls. And it will all commence with an opening night celebration where we’ll fill the streets with art lovers.
For viewers, Art|Everywhere represents a new and inspiring way of looking at Norfolk. For artists, it is an opportunity to portray your creative vision on a largerscale canvas than perhaps ever before or again, and for it to be seen by the masses.

Requirements
Submission deadline is April 7, 2010.
This competition is open to artists of all ages and levels of professional experience. All media except for performance art (due to the nature and length of the exhibition) are welcome. Only one proposal per artist (or collective) will be accepted, and only original works will be accepted.
Thinking critically and creatively about the unique quality of an empty storefront window, craft a proposal that best
describes how your work will utilize the space. You may include sketches and pictures with your proposal. Images must
be in JPEG format, and all files together must not exceed 10 MB. You are responsible for all of your own materials and
installation if chosen.
Submit your completed entry form, proposal, and any additional images as attachments via email to:
bschule@downtownnorfolk.org. Put “Art|Everywhere” in the subject line.
If chosen you will be notified within the week following the submission deadline. Your art must then be installed between April 14 and May 1. It must be available for display no less than 60 days, but may not remain for no more than 90 days. In that time you will be responsible for removing your work from the property.
