CALL FOR ARTISTS
Competition Information Now Available
You are invited to enter the juried art show of the California State Fair! The 2010 California Fine Art competition information is now available online. Follow the links or go to www.bigfun.org click the “competitions” tab on the home page then scroll down to “Fine Art” and click on the words “Handbook” “Entry Form” or “Quick Reference Guide”. The Competition Handbook contains all of the rules and requirements for the competition, a must-read item. The Quick Reference Guide (also known as a Prospectus) gives you all of the divisions and dates at a glance. Entry Forms, fees and CDs are due by April 23rd. On-line entry will be available on March 1st but you can enter early by submitting the paper Entry Form.
New California State Fair Dates
The 2010 California State Fair will open on Wednesday, July 14,th – that’s a month earlier than previous years. This means the California Fine Art exhibit will open July 14th and close on the last day of the fair, Sunday, August 1st.
Who is on the Jury?
We will announce the jury members as soon as all the contracts are finalized. Look for an announcement of the 2010 Jury on our web site (under Fine Art on the Competitions Page, click on “2010 Jury”). As in the past, we are seeking a mix of Museum Curators, College/University Art Professors, well-known artists, and Gallery Directors. Each juror will judge one or more divisions, depending on the juror’s qualifications, experience and area of expertise.
