ArtWorks: Call for Artists
Lost and Found A “GeoCached” Art exhibit!
Who: ArtWorks is hosting an art exhibit beyond gallery walls! We are making the entire city of Kenosha the gallery! We have assembled a team of experienced “geocachers” to help.
What: Geocaching is a GPS based treasure hunt game. People all over the world hide things known as geocaches and list the coordinates on a website. People can use their GPS to get close to the hidden geocache but then they must search for it! Many geocaches are still difficult to find as they are cleverly hidden.
Where: We are calling for artwork that will be hidden all over the city of Kenosha.
When: The due date for submissions is June 15th! We will begin hiding the work and coordinating the show launch in July. The outside show will run through mid-August. At the end of the show we will collect the surviving pieces for display at ArtWorks! The Indoor exhibit runs from Sept 1-Sept Sept 30th. An opening reception will be held on Sept 10th from 6-9!
How: The artwork must be reasonably small so it can be easily hidden.
The artist must understand that due to the nature of this show, that artwork may be damaged or stolen!
We anticipate a large number of entries so one entry per artist and early submission will be greatly appreciated!
Cost: $7.00 per artist. if the artist is supplying their own “appropriate” waterproof container.
Cost is $20.00 if you would like for us to purchase an enclosure for your piece.
Why: “Don’t touch the art!” Art has a pretentious reputation, and we would like to change that! We can all remember the stern warnings of your parents, or teachers to “Never, ever touch the art”. As children we don’t understand why we aren’t allowed to touch these super cool things and I think that early experience evolves into a feeling that art isn’t accessible to everyone.
This isn’t just an art show, this is an experience that removes art work from its usual habitat and puts it into the hands of people who might not ever have had the opportunity to interact directly with a piece of art.
If that isn’t enough we are incentivising people to hunt for the art through by offering secret geocaches, special offers, and prizes!
GPS and map information will be release prior to the event. *The mechanics are being worked out as the art exhibit will most likely not be an “official Geocache.com approved event”
