Eligibility:
The exhibit is open to students who enrolled in ART or VCA classes at NMC in the 2022-23 academic year. Work may be from a class or personal work completed this academic year. Each student may submit up to three works to the jury. Of these, a maximum of two (if any) will be accepted.
Jury Process:
Digital images submitted of the works will be judged by 2 non-NMC affiliated jurors on Tuesday, March 21, 2023 and students will be notified of their accepted/rejected status by the next day. Accepted works must be delivered, ready to hang (mats, wire, etc.) to the Northwestern Michigan College Fine Arts Building by Monday, April 3, 2023 at 4:00p.m. to your instructor or the Humanities Department Office. You must print tags for your artwork from the Artcall site.
Requirements for Exhibiting:
Works accepted via the Jury process and delivered to the NMC fine Arts building will be subject to final approval by the Dennos Museum Center and NMC faculty. All accepted entries must represent the artwork shown in the digital images submitted in the Art Call process and are subject to the availability of exhibition space, appropriateness of presentation.
All 2D works must be ready to hang with a nail or hook mechanism. Whenever possible this means the work needs to be framed. Limited framing assistance is available from NMC. If you require framing assistance, you must contact your instructor and deliver your piece by Friday, March 24, 2023. All 3D works must be free standing or include an appropriate stand. If NMC faculty, or museum staff have concerns about the safety of the work, it will be considered for removal from the show. Anything less than these guidelines will be considered for removal from the show.
All works must be original compositions. An original composition is not a copy of another artist’s work. This includes works based on photographs, unless the student (artist) took the photo themselves. Artwork done “in style of” may be original work if style is used with original subject matter and not copied. Artwork using appropriation should not use more than 10% of another artist work, and should be transformative.
By submitting to this Exhibition, I hereby acknowledge that NMC and/or the Dennos Museum Center are not financially responsible for any damage to, or loss of, personal property loaned by me for exhibition purposes. I hereby waive any claim against NMC/Dennos Museum Center or its officers or staff as a consequence of such possible damage or loss.
