Artist Invitation
Artists invited to exhibit at Clayton Center in 2013
Clayton Visual Arts, Inc., seeks artists for the 2013 monthly exhibition season, which begins in February at The Clayton Center in Clayton, N.C.
Interested artists are invited to apply for a show by sending a resume, a portfolio of 4-6 jpg images and an application fee of $10 to the Exhibits Committee. A deadline, to be determined later, will be in September 2012.
Submitted images may be in jpg format, on CD, or on a specified website. All images must be representative of the type of work the artist plans to exhibit. Entries will be accepted by postal service or email.
Send to The Exhibits Committee, Clayton Visual Arts, Inc., P.O. Box 698, Clayton, NC 27528, or email to ddemboski@nc.rr.com. The application fee of $10 must be received by the Exhibits Committee before email entries will be considered.
Exhibits are scheduled on a monthly basis, and art work hangs in the main lobby of The Clayton Center, 111 E. Second St. The shows are open to the public daily and evenings.
Only works that hang on the wall will be considered at this time. One-, two- and three-person shows, as well as group shows (four or more artists), will be considered.
Selected artists will be notified in October 2012 of the committee’s choices. At that time a date will be confirmed for the artist’s show, and he or she will receive a written Artist’s Contract and Exhibit Guidelines from Clayton Visual Arts, Inc.
An exhibition fee of $35 per artist will be required to help with the costs of the reception, invitations, and publicity for each show, to be paid when the Artist’s Contract is signed by artist and Clayton Visual Arts, Inc. Group shows (four or more artists) will require an exhibition fee of $10 per artist. Make checks payable to: Clayton Visual Arts. In addition, a donation to CVA of 20% on all artworks sold will be asked.
To introduce each new exhibitor to the community in the 2013 season, Clayton Visual Arts will host a free public reception each month on the first or second Thursday. The organization has scheduled exhibitions and receptions at The Clayton Center since the building opened in 2003.
The Clayton Center is the central public building in Clayton and houses the Town Council Chambers, utility offices, city offices, meeting rooms and an active performance center. It receives hundreds of visitors each day.
