Plowhaus last show in old space - call for artists - opens Jan 26

Plowhaus is issuing an open call for artists to participate in its last show in its old space. Read on for details.


The Plowhaus is moving on to bigger and better adventures in East Nashville!! Please join us for the last Plowhaus show in the old space. In the spirit of where we came from and where we are going the show title is:

'OUT OF HERE'

The Theme of the show is: from out of here came:
* Emerging Artists
* The Spirit of A Cooperative
* A Gathering Place for Local Artists
* Growing a Community of Artists
* Developing Young Artists through School Programs
* Experiencing Workshops
* A Creative Collaboration with other Artists
* Acquiring of Knowledge and Skills
* The Community's Appreciation of the Local Artist
* Involvement in East Nashville's Community Events
* Special Events for Special Children.

And Now We're Moving *Out of Here....to a bigger and better place...
so we can continue to do what we do....in a bigger and better way...

The Show will open on Sat. Jan. 26th. and Close Sun. Feb. 27th it will cost $20. for each artist.

Plowhaus will take 20% from each sale. This will be a cash and carry show.
Have all your artwork tagged with a title block and in a box with your name on it so we can easily restock your wall. We do not want any holes left so bring lots of work!

SIZE OF ARTWORK since this is going to be a big show just keep in mind that your space will be able to accommodate one very large piece or several smaller pieces.

DROP OFF
Monday Jan. 21st between 5-8pm, but if you want to bring your art earlier and know the combination and security code.. you may do so.. and if you need it please call 260-4042 for that information..

POSTER
Julie will be designing and printing a Hatch Show Print Poster for the show and they will be at the gallery when you drop off your work so please take some and get them out and up all over town..

CURATING
We will be laying out the show Monday evening.
Please make sure your work is there tagged and ready to hang.

HANGING
will be Tues and Wed the Jan. 22nd and 23rd from 4pm - ?
anyone that would like to help please come by.

TITLE BLOCKS
since this is a cash and carry show we will handle the title blocks like we did for the Value Menu Show. Have your own title blocks attached to your piece in a way that can be removed easily. Please make sure your pieces are identified with your name and title of the piece in case they become separated from the title block.

We will have all the walls up so that we can accommodate lots of work.

We will have musicians playing at the opening. Wine and Refreshments.
and Hopefully more news about our move!!

The papers are waiting for a press release so please respond ASAP so that your name can be included. We will send out a press release next Sunday.
