2023 ANNUAL CoPA MEMBERS JURIED EXHIBITION:

 

Here and There

 

Walker’s Point Center for the Arts | visit Tuesday through Saturday from 1P – 5P

Opening Reception: Friday, March 3 | 5:30P to 8P

Comments and awards  | 6:30P

What is here and what is there? Prior to the pandemic, most people had a clearer understanding. Here was here, where we live, work and play. “There” was a physical target—different GPS coordinates. Now, “where you at?” is as much mental and spiritual as it is about latitude and longitude.

CoPA’s 13th Annual Member Exhibition explores the optics of here and there.

Photographers are tasked with making visual representations of the intangible—creating images that ask more questions than they answer. Here and there is a broad concept that can be explored in macro as well as sprawling landscapes. What we have been through and where we are going provide the emotional, spiritual, and creative signposts for this visual journey.

FRAMING GUIDELINES FOR ARTWORK EXHIBITED

All artwork submitted for exhibition shall adhere to the following framing guidelines. Failure to do so may impact participation in the exhibition.

  • Glass or plexi are preferable if artwork is covered. The product should be of sufficient thickness to prevent visible warping or waving. If glass is broken upon arrival, new glass will be fitted and the artist billed for cost of glass.
  • All framed works shall be securely fitted within their frames.
  • All mats are to be clean and white in color.
  • No plastic poster frames.
  • All framed works are to be wired for hanging.
    • NO saw-tooth hangers. NO D-Rings. NO Clips. NO Fishing line.
  • Hanging wires are to be no closer than 2” to the top of the framed when pulled taut.
  • Wires are not to be attached to the clips that are holding the back of the frame together, but should have their own support attached to the frame and not the picture backing. Taping or gluing the wire to the frame or board is insufficient.
  • CoPA and the Walker’s Point Center for the Arts are not responsible for pieces that are damaged due to improper hanging hardware or poor craftsmanship.
  • If framed, images must be framed in clean, plain white or black frames. If matted, mats must be clean white. No exceptions. You may print professionally on other surfaces, such as aluminum, canvas, linens and woods.
  • Maximum Width: 32″
  • Maximum Height: 60″

Be sure to visit Studio MKE for your fine art printing needs and Creative Enterprises for mounting, matting and framing. CoPA members receive a 10% discount on services.
