SUMMARY:Open Call for Artists
DESCRIPTION:Call for Artists\nThe Matthews Opera House and Arts Center will be exhibiting the work of contracted artists starting May 25\, 2021. This marks the return to regular operations after several months of specialty shows and the Community Art Show. We are excited to once again display the work of Black Hills artists. \nApplications are due before 5:00 p.m. MDT on Tuesday\, May 11th\, 2021. \nApplications may be submitted via email to gallery@matthewsopera.com \nLooking for Black Hills Artists\nFor application purposes\, the Black Hills area includes anywhere within South Dakota or Wyoming — approximately one hundred miles from the Black Hills. Our call is open to new artists as well as artists who have previously been contracted by The Matthews. \nThrough this call\, we hope to find forty to fifty artists whose work will be showcased at The Matthews. During the jurying process\, the Gallery Committee will be assessing applicants based on the quality of work submitted and the needs of the gallery in terms of aesthetic balance and diversity. \nApplication Requirements\nArtists are invited to submit an email application to our gallery manager\, Heather Evans\, including the following information: \n\nFull name\nMailing address\nAll phone numbers we may use to contact you\nValid email\nWebsite address (if the artist has one)\n\nFacebook or other social media accounts used professionally by the artist are also acceptable\n\n\nThree JPEG images\, each under 5MB\, of works you hope to exhibit in the gallery.\n\nThe title\, price\, and medium of each of the works represented in the JPEG images.

This will not take the place of the three JPEG images required in the email application. Those artists delivering physical work will not be favored over artists who only submit digital images. \nJurying Process\nJurying will take place on Wednesday\, May 12th\, by the Gallery Committee.
