Call to artists

Call for Artwork: Beatnik Studios Juried Exhibition & Art Auction

Beatnik Studios is issuing a call for artists for a juried exhibition and art auction to take place in February 2011. We are searching for artworks of reasonable size in all mediums to represent the theme “Home.” The submission fee is $10 per piece and the deadline for submissions is January 16, 2011.

If your artwork is selected it will be displayed in the gallery for the month of February and have a chance to win first (Solo show at Beatnik), second (Solo show at Capitol Garage) or third place (Gift Certificates) as decided by a distinguished panel of Sacramento art professionals.

The selected works will also be entered into an auction to benefit Sierra Forever Families, a local nonprofit devoted to finding permanent homes for children. The auction will be open with the show on January 28 and close on Second Saturday, February 12. 50% of the proceeds will go to Sierra Forever Families and 50% will go to the artist.

About Sierra Forever Families:

Since its founding in 1983, Sierra has placed over 2,500 children in permanent homes. Believing that every child deserves a loving home, Sierra has become known for serving children considered difficult to place, such as older children or large sibling groups. The funds from the auction sales of the selected artworks will go directly to benefit this worthy cause.
