The FL3TCH3R Exhibit 2018

Description

The FL3TCH3R Exhibit is pleased to announce Internationally Renowned Designer, David Carson, as its 2018 juror! The FL3TCH3R Exhibit in its sixth year is an annual international juried exhibit focused on socially and politically engaged art. The goal is to recognise and advance this endeavour by providing a venue for the exhibition and dialogue about socially and politically engaged art. Furthermore, the exhibit's proceeds after expenses fund the Fletcher H. Dyer Memorial Scholarship for an art and design student. A non-refundable fee of $40 is required for submission of up to three entries, with an additional $10 fee per artwork/title over three. Artists should submit entries online or consult the prospectus, which can be found at www.FL3TCH3Rexhibit.com/downloads/prospectus.pdf. The extended deadline, with an additional fee, is Aug. 31, 2018. The theme of the FL3TCH3R Exhibit is focused on work with strong social and political content. Work entered in the exhibit should reflect current issues that affect contemporary culture and investigate societal and political concerns. Diverse media and approach to the theme are encouraged. All 2D, 3D, video art and audio/sound are eligible. Due to space and logistical considerations, large-scale and complicated installation is not encouraged. Work using materials that are hazardous to the health and safety of the public will be disqualified. Work must not exceed 6 ft. in any direction and preferably weigh under 30lbs. All 2D work must be ready for hanging. In 2009, senior East Tennessee State University (ETSU) Art & Design student Fletcher Dyer was in a fatal motorcycle accident. In 2012, an art exhibition illustrating timely–and timeless –social and political issues was established in Fletcher’s memory due to his passionate interest drawing attention to contemporary issues. Exhibit at ETSU Reece Museum- Johnson City, TN- 10/8-12/14/18.
