ST. LUCIA: Artists, sculptors and photographers with an interest in being showcased at the Saint Lucia Jazz and Arts Festival are asked to submit their work.
A call has been issued to Saint Lucian artists, sculptors and photographers with an interest in being showcased at the Saint Lucia Jazz and Arts Festival’s first ever Arts Village, to submit their work.
Pieces will be assessed based on specifications which can be downloaded from the Facebook pages of the Saint Lucia Jazz and Arts Festival and the Arts Village.
The deadline for submission of pieces is April 22, and submissions should be delivered to the premises of one of the co-production entities, event company Options Ltd., at La Clery, Castries.
Entries should be accompanied by the artist’s bio, the title of the work, its size, year produced and medium. Each submission should also be accompanied by five digital images in jpeg format at no less than 300 dpi (dots per inch) sized approximately 4’’ x 6’’. These can be delivered on hard drive or sent via email.
The Arts Village reserves the right of selection or non-selection. Those submitting work on canvas are asked not to frame their pieces; however, artists will be present for the hanging of their work and therefore will be made aware of the selected mode of display.
No registration fee is required for participation in the Arts Village, and all works will be presented for sale, unless otherwise requested by the artists. Artists are therefore encouraged to submit only work which is available for sale.
The Arts Village is one of the exciting product innovations of the 25th edition of the Saint Lucia Jazz & Arts Festival 2016, and has been gathering much attention as the site preparation and work plan to construct a uniquely Saint Lucian creative space at Massav Park, Choc, unfolds.
Interested artists can get additional information on the Arts Village and the requirements for participation by visiting https://www.facebook.com/saintluciaartsvillage.
The Arts Village complements the wider arts component which was introduced in 2013 when the Saint Lucia Jazz Festival rebranded to become the Saint Lucia Jazz and Arts Festival. The Arts Village will run from May 2 – 4.
