Baang and Burne Contemporary Call for New Artists 2012
Deadline: August 15, 2012
Application fee:

Burne Contemporary's 2012 exhibition season, we've decided, once again, to do something a bit unconventional. We are hosting an international open call to artists. 
Just to be clear, we are not doing an open call for a juried group exhibition; we're looking to sign new artists to our gallery for inclusion in exhibitions, projects, and events for the 2012-2014 seasons.

DEADLINE: 
August 15, 2012. 

ELIGIBILITY: 
Open to all artists, age 18+, who wish to be considered for a two year representation contract with the gallery. All submitted artwork must be available and for sale. 

ENTRY PROCEDURE: 
Entries will only be accepted online:  https://www.callforentry.org/festivals_unique_info.php?ID=1033&sortby=fair_name&apply=yes Artists should submit 8 images of their most recent artwork, an artist statement (150 word maximum), a CV, and if possible a URL to their website.
Baang + Burne will only be accepting entries submitted through this system. E-mail or paper submissions will not be accepted. 

JUDGING: 
Every submission will be personally considered and reviewed by Baang + Burne Gallery Directors Kesha Bruce and Charlie Grosso and Associate Director Erin Skaryak.  

ABOUT BAANG + BURNE: 
Baang + Burne Contemporary is an unconventional art gallery directed by contemporary artists Kesha Bruce and Charlie Grosso. Our gallery aims to challenge the premise of what an art gallery can be. We're interested in engaging the world at large and presenting work that generates dialogue critically, socially, and culturally.  
In the first 16 months of Baang + Burne Contemporary's existence, we experimented with apartment shows, private "invitation only" events, and 6x6, an art version of a music festival.  For 6x6 we presented six exhibitions in six weeks, bringing together unexpected alliances and partnerships from various creative fields outside the art world and from non-profit arts organizations.  
We are committed to asking challenging questions and using the gallery to continually experiment so that we may find the new solutions for both artists and collectors. 
Baang and Burne Contemporary is designed to continually challenge and constantly innovate. Our Mission is to make art the agent and not merely the product. 

QUESTIONS 
Contact the gallery by e-mail at press@baangandburne.com for more information or if you have questions regarding the open call, exhibitions, or this prospectus.

The John Gingell Award - Call for submissions (Wales)

The John Gingell Award - Call for submissions
Deadline for Submissions: 15th June 2012
Elegibility: Fine Art Graduates of Welsh art institutions 2000-2011
Application fee: none

g39 is pleased to announce the launch of the John Gingell Award.

The Award will provide two artists an award of £5,000 toward the development of a body of work over a six-month period culminating in an exhibition at g39, Cardiff in the summer of 2013.

John Gingell (1935 – 2007) was a pioneering and passionate artist and arts educator. His own work crossed many media from performance, installation, to sculpture and public art. Relocating to Cardiff from London in 1966 he left his role within the Whitechapel gallery to take up a post as lecturer on the new Foundation course at the art school at Howard Gardens. John Gingell continued to develop new areas of practice, founding the MA course in Fine Art in 1987, of which he was director until 2001. With his restless energy and a zeal for change he was known to his students as 'The Dynamo'. He shaped the MA on a model which supported the students in expanding their practice outside college, within their own studios. The course encouraged those who wanted to extend and challenge their own practice or simply re-engage with making Art.

He not only believed in Art education, but by its own token that Art in itself was a crucial part of self education, a broadening and necessary activity. He developed an approach to teaching that was both stimulating and unconventional – performance was integrated into his teaching and performance lectures evolved into symposia and events. This award is a one off tribute to this inspirational thinker, artist, activist and agitator.

G39 will offer curatorial and critical support with the intention to significantly develop the recipients’ practices during this period. g39 will then present the resulting bodies of work.

Eligibility:
Applications are invited from graduates of Fine Art (within any discipline) who have graduated at BA or MA level from an art institution in Wales between 2000 and 2011. Applicants should be seeking to re-engage or extend their practice as artists within any contemporary fine art discipline.

Requested supporting material:
Photographic documentation of your 2D/3D work (up to 12 images saved as jpegs, 2MB max per image) and/or
Video/audio documentation of your time-based work (12 minutes max)
Please ensure you include titles, media and year of production for all works.
Artist Statement (max 250 words)
Supporting Proposal explaining to what use the award would be put, outlining how the award would enable you to develop your Art practice (max 500 words)
CV including contact details, education, and any published or exhibited work (max 2 sides A4)

Where:
Digital submissions are preferred, sent to thejohngingellaward@gmail.com Large files can be sent via a file transfer site (eg WeTransfer or YouSendIt). Links to video hosting sites can also be accepted
Postal submissions to: The John Gingell Award, c/o g39 Oxford St CARDIFF CF24 3DT (NB material submitted by post will not be returned).

Deadline for submissions: 5pm, 15th June 2012 (as postmark or email timestamp)
All applications received will be acknowledged by email.
