Call for Artists


CALL-FOR-ARTISTS

Get into the holiday spirit, come on down and bid on holiday/winter art. The Apex Arts Council announces:

Holiday and Winter Art Show
Sunday, 25 November 2012, through Sunday, 9 December 2012

The Apex Arts Council will hold their annual showing and silent auction of Winter and Holiday Art paintings, photography, and other hanging art in the Apex Promenade at 219 North Salem Street in historic downtown Apex from Sunday, 25 November 2012, through Sunday, 9 December 2012.  All artwork must depict scenes of the holidays or winter, but the subject matter can range to anything (within reason given the venue) created by the artist's imagination.  All artwork on display will be tagged with the name of the work, the medium used, the name of the artist, and a reserve amount (minimum bid) for the silent auction.  Anyone interested in purchasing any particular work may submit their bid on the form showing this information on the tag.  The Apex Arts Council will handle all auction sales and delivery, and charge the artist a fee of twenty-five percent (25%) of the purchase price for any works sold this way.

Artists may bring their submissions to the Common Grounds Coffee House (also at 219 North Salem Street in historic downtown Apex) between 8:00am and 11:00am on Wednesday, 21 November, or Friday, 23 November.  Following the close of the show, any unsold works may be picked up at the same location on Monday, December 10th.


Drop-off of art: November 21 or November 23 — 8:00-11:00 a.m.
Silent Auction: November 25 - December 9
Unsold art pick-up: December 10
