SUMMARY
On behalf of the new City of Hope facility in Orange County, COH curator Ms. Nancy Harrell announces a Call for Artists to identify local Orange County Artists to submit artwork for display in the main Rotating Lobby Art Gallery and the 5th floor Rotating Art Gallery. This new Irvine, CA. campus opened in August of 2022. The campus is supporting a rotating art gallery space of Orange County Artists to help enhance the calming environment of this beautiful new facility.
Once you have committed your interest in participation of this project by November, 2022, follow up emails will be sent with more selection updates and other pertinent information.
ART OPPORTUNITY
The art work chosen will be displayed in the Rotating Art Galleries on Floors 1 , and 5 of the building. We are encouraging Orange County Artists to submit work that is reminiscent of Orange County locales such as beach scenes, cityscapes, landmarks, water themes, plant themes, and animal themes. Each floor will have a healing plant theme : White Sage, Elderberry, Valley Oak, and California Poppy, however, you are not limited by these plant themes. The artwork can be realism, abstract, collaged, painted , printed, graphic, photography, assemblage, and anything 2-D that can be framed.
The Rotating Art Gallery will display your work for up to six months. Your work will be identified with a short bio on each artist. You will also be able to list your personal websites. Should a patron wish to buy your work, the contact will be between you the artist and the patron via your personal website or contact info listed. If you do not wish to sell, but just have people be uplifted by your work, that is fine too. At the end of 6 months, we will rotate in new pieces of art, for which you are able to re-submit new artwork, as well as new artists submissions. The framed artwork should not exceed 36×40. Pieces must be framed in neutral colors, and must be wired for hanging. If you are submitting a painting or photograph on canvas, with no frame, the sides must be wrapped and/ or painted to appear finished.
