The Calgary Public Library Foundation is hosting an awards event on September 24, 2009 and is holding an open call for submissions. This is a fantastic opportunity for local artists. The details are below or you can find additional information at the Calgary Public Library website.
Art submissions are wanted for “The Art of the Book,” an art show, auction, and contest that will be featured at this fall’s Calgary Public Library Foundation Literary Awards. We are looking for all different mediums of art that reflect artist’s interpretations of reading, literacy, libraries, or books. Art pieces will be featured at the Literary Awards event on September 24, 2009 and winners from each of two categories (2-D art and 3-D art) will receive a $1000 cash prize and publicity package. All artists who submit will have a chance to auction off their art. Any and all artists are encouraged to submit for an excellent chance to get their work (and name) out there and showcase their talent! Please spread the word to anyone you feel may be interested.
The submission deadline is August 31, 2009. For a submission form, full list of rules, or more information about “The Art of the Book” or the Calgary Public Library Literary Awards, please visit calgarypubliclibrary.com and click on “Donate” or call 403-260-2640.
