Call for Art: Images of What Remains

The Arts Council of Lake Oswego invites artists to submit up to three works that include images of abandoned  places or structures found within the Pacific Northwest. Works will be curated into an exhibition on view  September 3rd through October 29th, 2021

The Pacific Northwest has a unique history – from Indigenous Peoples, early frontier days and the Oregon Trail to boom and bust industries like trapping and mining. As a result, our landscape is dotted with abandoned human-made places and structures that were once thriving. There are a number of gold rush ghost towns, ship  wrecks off the coast (the Peter Iredale), empty farm houses and other buildings, abandoned roads and even a  ghost forest (Neskowin Ghost Forest). Just in time for spooky season, these once thriving or occupied structures and locations remain with the mark of past human presence; now discarded or neglected.  

Have a favorite abandoned structure or place around the region? We want to include your images for display and sale in our ARTspace gallery! This exhibition will bring together images, which can be in any medium, of  the “abandoned.” The word “abandoned” for this exhibition is interpreted as buildings/structures or locations that are no longer occupied or used as once intended. Decommissioned lighthouses, forts, abandoned cars, or  fire towers can also qualify. Locations must be within the Pacific Northwest, which includes Oregon,  Washington, Idaho, and Northern California. 

** The Arts Council does not condone trespassing on private property to capture images. When necessary,  please do your research and obtain proper permissions. ** 

As the only dedicated visual arts gallery in the city of Lake Oswego, the Arts Council and its ARTspace gallery have a unique opportunity to inspire thought and conversation through art. The Arts Council of Lake Owego’s  mission is to ensure that arts are accessible and an integral part of life in our community.  

Eligibility 

This exhibition is open to all artists. All media will be considered. 

• Works must fit through gallery door (double retail sized door) 

• All work must be ready for exhibition upon arrival – Framed with wire for hanging, if 3D, must have a  base or mount (ACLO has a limited number of pedestals) 

• Any special hardware should be provided 

• If entries from out of area are accepted, no reimbursement for shipping or delivery will be provided • Works will be assessed for exhibition based on quality, subject matter in accordance with “abandoned”  theme, and overall aesthetic 

• Accepted artists are required to become a Friend of the Arts Council ($50 fee) to help offset costs in  producing the exhibition, promotion and associated programming

Applications should include: 

• No more than three works per artist will be considered 

• Photos of artwork being submitted in JPEG, PNG or PDF format 

• A brief description of each work 

• For each work include: title, location (doesn’t have to be exact), date of creation,  medium, and dimensions

• Artist statement 

• Contact info for artist including website and/or social media 

Email applications as a single PDF to sgjohnson@lakeoswego.city with the subject line “Call for Art- Abandoned”.  While emailed applications are preferred, applications by mail should include a CD or jump drive with digital  photos and can be sent to: Arts Council of Lake Oswego, PO Box 369, Lake Oswego, Oregon 97034  

Deadline: July 9th, 2021 

Artists will be notified of their acceptance status by August 2nd, 2021. Accepted artists will be asked to sign a  gallery contract and artwork shall be delivered to the Arts Council no later than August 20th, 2021.

FESTIVAL OF WREATHS 2020 – WE NEED ARTISTS!

FESTIVAL OF WREATHS 2020 – WE NEED ARTISTS!

In partnership with the Oregon City Rotary Club

OC Rotary Club has asked TRAG’s help in raising funds through the first annual Festival of the Wreaths. Rotary is asking for artists to partner with their members to create wreaths, or even just to hire one of TRAG’s artists to make a wreath. All materials will be paid for, and even the potential to pay an artist for their time in making the wreath.

Rotary International is an international service organization. The club’s stated purpose is to bring together business and professional leaders in order to provide humanitarian service, and to advance goodwill and peace around the world. It is a non-political and non-religious organization open to all. Their principal motto is “Service Above Self”. This motto is personified in the Rotary Club of Oregon City’s contributions to our community. They include volunteerism and contributions to the Cub Scouts, meals to Father’s Heart Ministries, the Homeless Resource Fair offering services to disadvantaged, annual distribution of dictionaries to Oregon City’s third graders, and supporter and supplier to Oregon City Head Start. All these contributions are supported by fundraisers throughout the year by the OC Rotary Club. However, COVID restrictions have circumvented these efforts for 2021, and Rotary is in dire need of unique and creative ideas of raising funds for these worthy projects.

If you would like to participate in this fun and meaningful event, please contact president@threeriversartistguild.com for more information. We will be matching artists with Rotary members and their ideas to support our community and those in need.
