Artist Call - Double Opportunity for Veteran and Emerging Artists

Highway 2 - the journey and the destination is a multi-media, multi-artist show illustrating the experience of the Angeles National Forest and the Angeles Crest Highway. The show has been invited to the La Canada Flintridge Public Library for the month of August and new works and artists are being sought for this month-long show.

The show seeks to explore the breadth and immense diversity of forest uses and users, from those whose love affair is with the highway to those who maintain traditional ties to the land and its flora and fauna. Drawing, painting, photography, fiber art including basketry, cloth and other mediums welcome.

Subject matter can include but is not limited to landscapes, flora and fauna studies, car and motorcycle art, lifestyle art, time lapse photography, traditional and contemporary painting/drawing/sketching/photographic styles.

Veteran artists and first-time exhibitors are welcome.

There is no fee to enter or exhibit. The show is hosted by Redbird, a Native American and environmental non profit association with a land base in the Angeles National Forest. Redbird is seeking submission samples via email; the show hangs on August 1. Works must be framed, with a wire hanger, and delivered to the library on August 1 between 11 AM and 1 PM. Three dimensional and fiber works should be wired for hanging.

For more information or to submit work samples please email redbirds_vision@hotmail.com with "Highway 2" in the title of the email.

There is a second opportunity concurrent with this show to have work in the US Forest Service Chilao Visitors Center; works hang for approximately one year and are viewed by thousands of visitors. Submit work for this opportunity via the same email. The Chilao Visitor's center show will be hung after the Highway 2 show; works for both shows can be dropped off at the La Canada Flintridge Public Library on August 1.

These are both excellent opportunities for emerging artists to show their work in gallery and public settings alongside veteran artists.
