BLOG POST #5 DUE FEB. 17 by beginning of class
                                     

Drafts are DUE on FEB 17

Please visit the following websites and review each of the following Calls for Submissions (also sometimes referred to as "Exhibition Calls"). 

You may wish to print these calls out for easy reference and in order to take notes and highlight important information.

(Remember that you may print out such information in the library upstairs or in university computer labs).

You may also conduct research on your own and bring in other examples of exhibition calls. If you choose to do this, please remember to print out the call along with the web address and/or post your research to your blog.

STEP 1. Review each of these sites and take careful notes about the structure of the calls. Print out the calls and highlight significant information.

STEP 2. Answer the following:

What information is found in each of these calls?

How is that information organized?

Consider the design choices in each call. Name one positive aspect of each of the call’s organization of information and one negative aspect. How does the design relate to/reflect the content of the call?

STEP 3. Devise a template for a call for Northcutt Steele Gallery exhibitions (fall 2017) at Northcutt Steele Gallery. Focus on the structural elements of the call. Do your best by emulating the other calls you have reviewed and we will discuss in person what we might want to keep and eliminate.

STEP 4. Draft a call for artist proposals and upload to your class blog prior to our meeting on February 17 (Your draft call may be single- or double-spaced; conventional or creative in design). Be prepared to discuss the calls you have reviewed (assigned and otherwise), and then we will review your drafts and draw some conclusions about what we collectively feel should be included in a Northcutt Steele Gallery call for submissions.
