CURRENT SUBMISSIONS
So many wonderous and magical things are taking shape for U*Space that it is hard for us to know where we should begin.We've revamped our submission policy so that we are in a better position to help showcase an even broader range of artists. Submissions will now be listed as open calls. This means any artist may visit our submission page and see what exhibition projects we are currently accepting work for. Artists should then follow the simple instructions and wait to hear back from us. If an artist is accepted their name will be added to the exhibit list. Exhibitions will be listed as CLOSED once we have accepted a number of artists. Continuing to uphold our mission that original art should not only be accessible visually but financially as well, please note that we do take into consideration the reality of price points when selecting works for exhibition. Each submission will list a price range artist should take into consideration. Concerning the sales of your artwork, we have retained our not-for-profit pay scale: 70% goes to you the artist & 30% goes to us to cover the expenses of running a public gallery. Exhibited artists may also be offered the opportunity to show with U*Space on a continual basis through gallery representation. EX-POS-URE: New Directions In The Mediums of Sight & Sound U*Space Gallery is currently accepting video & audio submissions, for their upcoming exhibition Ex-pos-ure which aims at exposing larger audiences to new and emerging film/audio artists. THE STRANGEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD Artworks based on unfounded narratives. In the past, they were called folk or old wives tales. Today we call them urban myths or legends. Some grow larger than life, while others keep a watchful eye on a small group of people who find themselves haunted by them. We all act as continuums for community & cultural narrations that are all too often never researched or questioned for accuracy or truth. Yet we keep them alive by telling others, who tell others. What is their strange power? We tell them publicly, often at the risk of being made out to be liars. We will often continue telling them, even after their truth is discovered to be unfounded. Why? What is it, that compels us to tell something over and over again? What do we get out of telling it? Do we tell them as a means of spreading propaganda? Could it be that reality is much harder to face, so we use them to mask our own denial? The Strangest Thing I've Ever Heard revisits these tales and allows us for the first time to reexamine their importance or lack there of, in present day society. ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists. All Mediums allowed. Submit text of narrative first via email. If accepted you will receive a questionnaire to be completed for the program. Art work price range: $35 - $1500 Please submit example jpeg images of your work along with other blah blah information to submissions@uspacegallery.com The THE STRANGEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD exhibition will be accompanied by a limited Edition catalog containing the artwork, bio, & the actual tale. ALL ARTISTS ACCEPTED WILL RECEIVE ONE FREE COMPLIMENTARY PROGRAM.
