Baltimore Office of Promotion & The Arts Submission Manager

Thank you for your patience while we have been working out details for the 2019 Sondheim Prize semi-finalist exhibition. As you may know, we usually have this exhibition in the Decker and Meyerhoff galleries at MICA. This year, however, those galleries (and the entire Fox Building) are closed for renovations. After considering many options, we have decided to have the exhibition in a raw space in downtown, at 10 Charles Center. We will be building walls and transforming the space, but before we start designing the space I am asking all of you to let me know what work you would like to show- there are a number of installation and performance artists among the 17 semi-finalists, and I think this space is very flexible and, with wall layout, could accommodate a wide variety of works and could be a really dynamic exhibition.

So I am asking you to submit images for what you would like to show- it can be selected individual artworks (available during the run of the show) to a proposal for an installation or performance or both. I will be scheduling times to visit the space for those who would like to see if before submitting a proposal, and would be happy to discuss with all of you what you would like to show. I will be in touch before the end of May to agree on what work or project each of you are displaying, along with a confirmed layout for walls and where artists are showing. I would like to have this information from you by May 10th.

Here is the schedule for the exhibition:

July 1-7: Wall building, painting and general set up of the space

July 8-17: Artwork drop off and installation

July 18: Exhibition open to the public (Gallery hours will be 12-6pm Wed-Sat)

July 18-August 17: Exhibition dates

Thursday, August 1: 5-9pm: Exhibition reception

August 18-23: Artists deinstall work

August 24-31: Wall demo and clean up

Additionally, we will be scheduling lunchtime artist talks during the exhibition, 2 artists talking for 15 minutes each, with a small honorarium ($50) for those who are interested.

Here are some images of the space as it is now- http://www.dropbox.com/sh/zzbey3hyzp30al0/AAB-ab7XSRTxHS-nnXci_atda?dl=0 - I’ve roughly labeled them as they related to the floorplan- we will be building walls within this space but hopefully this gives you an idea of what we are working with.
