Call to Artists & Designers!

It is with tremendous enthusiasm that we announce the first all-department design exhibition. Note: Irene Ramirez is leading this, so contact her for more details orangeladybird@gmail.com

The Exhibition:
Will be a 4-week, biannual exhibition dedicated exclusively to the Graphic and Web Design students @ CDIA. The show will be open to ALL [part-time and full-time] Graphic and Web Design students currently enrolled in the program. The show will be juried. There will be at least 2 awards presented including a Peer’s Choice Award.


Our Goal:
Our goal is to showcase the best work being produced in our Department. To demonstrate to the outside community the art and craft of what we do. Thus, if you work is not selected to participate in the first exhibition, we encourage you to continue to work on it and resubmit it for consideration for participation in the following show.

Deliverables:
Please submit pdf versions of your work to Joe Comeau [jcomeau@cdiabu.com] by AUGUST 25, 2007. Be sure to CONVERT all text to outlines. Also, please label the subject of the email to ‘Exhibition Entry’. All work produced in or outside of class will be considered.

One the works have been selected, you will be notified of your eligibility to participate. At the point, it will become your responsibility to produce the final copy for exhibition. All participating work must be produced to gallery standards. This means that work will need to be either mounted and framed [some frames provided on loan by CDIA; mounting is students’ responsibility] or mounted onto gatorboard [students’ responsibility].

Legwork of dry mounting is the student’s responsibility. We are referring students to Eric Blomster @ Abraxis framing in Auburndale for the mounting. Feel free to shop around for matting and framing. This WILL be the student’s expense.
