AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Dear Colleague,

The City of Brea Art Gallery is producing an exhibition entitled “Home From the Front” featuring artwork from veterans of recent combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. We are hoping we can work with you to reach out to the veteran community.
“Home From the Front” is conceived without any political intent or editorial comments regarding the military, the war, or veteran’s affaires in general. The voices, opinions, and viewpoints will be those of the participating artists alone. Further, subject matter need not include reference to military duty, politics, the war, etc. This is an opportunity for the artists to express themselves in a forum that will interact with the general public.

We are seeking submission from interested artists to be reviewed for inclusion. There is no entry fee; submissions will be judged by the merit of the work alone.

Entry Deadline : 30 April 2009

Exhibition Dates : 23 May through 10 July 2009

Entry information: We are seeking all media : oil, watercolor, drawing, mixed media, photography, video, sculpture, spoken word, and performance. Entries may be submitted via CD or e-mail;
Artwork : jpegs with image size of 4”x 5” , max of 300 dpi file resolution. Each jpeg file must be named with the artist last name and title of artwork.
Spoken Word : recordings should be submitted in standard AIFF or mp3 formats.
Video and videos of Performance Art : standard DVD or QuickTime format.

Multiple entries on CD/DVD should be submitted on a single disc. Disc must be labeled with the artist’s full name and titled with artwork name.

City of Brea Art Gallery, 1 Civic Center Circle, Brea, Ca 92821. Attn: Home From the Front.
E-mail submissions should be sent to: BreaGallery@cityofbrea.net, with the subject “Home From the Front”.
