Canvas Art Collective

About Canvas Art Collective:

Canvas Art Collective embodies the essence of a shared artistic space. It symbolizes collaboration, creativity, and the rich tradition of visual art. Our goal is to bring together a diverse array of artworks that represent the unique voices and visions of Tacoma's local artists.

 

What We're Looking For:

- Wall Art: We are seeking wall art pieces in various styles and mediums to be displayed throughout the studio.

- Permanent Exhibition: Unlike rotating exhibitions, all selected pieces will be part of a permanent collective display, providing long-term exposure for the artists.

- High Visibility: Your artwork will be prominently featured in the high-traffic Painting Panda Pottery Studio, which welcomes hundreds of visitors each week, offering significant opportunities for exposure and sales.

- Extended Display: Artwork will remain on display until it is sold or until the artist decides to reclaim it. 

-We believe in the Art Ecosystem of Tacoma, so while our name mentions Tacoma, this project will allow art from anyone. You don't have to live and reside in Tacoma to participate in this program.

 

Benefits:

- Sales Opportunities: Artists will retain the majority of the proceeds from any artwork sold. Sales will be cash and if the artist has electronic payment, then buyers can use this. Note that if you do electronic payment, you will still need to provide 10% to Energize Tacoma from that sale.  

- Nominal Wall Fee: A small fee of 10% of the sale price will be charged to cover administrative costs and ensure the smooth operation of the collective. We use this fee to expand the collective as well as advertising the project.

- Community Engagement: Be a part of a dynamic community of artists and engage with art enthusiasts and potential buyers.

 

Selection Process:

- Steering Committee: Artwork will be selected by our steering committee. Due to limited space, not every piece or artist can be displayed. 

- Notification: If chosen, we will send you an email stating which of your pieces have been selected. 

 

Submission Guidelines:

If you're interested in joining the Canvas Art Collective, please submit the following:

1. Artist Statement or Bio: A brief description of yourself and your artistic journey.

2. Images of Artwork: High-quality images of your wall art pieces (preferably in JPEG format).

3. Portfolio Links: Any relevant social media or online portfolio links.

 

Please email your submissions to mailto:energizetacoma@gmail.com.

 

Please Note: Space is limited, and the work you submit should be artwork that you are willing to have stationary in one place for a long time.

 

Join us in creating a vibrant, collective art space that celebrates the rich tapestry of Tacoma's artistic talent. We look forward to receiving your submissions and collaborating with you to enrich our community through art.
