Call for Artists: Moonlit

by

Moonlit, will be a Creators Festival showcasing and celebrating the work of women and non-binary creators of color based in Baltimore and the greater DMV area. We are looking for vendors and spoken word artists/poets to celebrate and showcase during our festival.

The art world, much like our society as a whole, is plagued with racism and patriarchal values that harm those who are oppressed at the intersections of race and gender. This event provides a much-needed space for women and non-binary creators of color to shine. Moonlit will feature a wide variety of vendors, workshops, panels and live music.

If you would like to vend or have an idea for a workshop, contact us! Deadline to submit is Dec 21

To apply please follow these guidelines:

1. Send a message to both (info@laligazine.com & Hyrsteriazine@gmail.com) in the flier with the title: Baltimore Creators Fest
2. Introduce yourself and your work.
3. State how you would like to be involved: vendor and/or poetry reading (or if you would like to be involved in some other way)
4. Attach 2-3 samples of your work!

Call for Artists: Big Ink

BIG INK is partnering with Pyramid Atlantic Arts Center for an event that fosters appreciation for the art of woodcut printmaking. On April 1st & 2nd, 2017 BIG INK will bring a 48” x 96” mobile printmaking press to Pyramid. BIG INK volunteers will help pre selected artists print woodcuts en plein air. The finished prints will be hung in a highly visible area, creating a viewing gallery for all to enjoy.

The participating artists, selected by Lyell Castonguay, director of BIG INK, will bring giant carved wood blocks measuring at least 24″ x 36″ in size. Visitors will witness woodcuts being printed in an open forum. Handouts will explain the process, its history, and context in contemporary art. In addition, the artists who created the work will be in attendance to network and answer questions. The prints created at BIG INK events are exhibited in university galleries, art centers, and museums, such as a recent show in Seoul, Korea.

If you’re interested in creating a large woodcut for this event please visit http://www.bigink.org/apply. The deadline to apply is Jan 23rd, 2017.
