Kewpee High School
Invitational
March 2 – April 14,
2012
Dear High School Art
Teachers,
ArtSpace/Lima in
conjunction with Kewpee Hamburgers is pleased to announce the 24th Annual
Kewpee High School Art Invitational. This exhibition is a much-anticipated
show and we are looking forward to showcasing the talents of our area’s
up-and-coming artists.
The categories will be
the same as in years past: painting, drawing, printmaking, photography,
sculpture, ceramics, mixed media, jewelry, and digital media. First,
second and third place awards will be given in each category in addition to
a best of show award.
We are asking that
you, as art teachers, self -jury your school’s pieces before bringing them
to ArtSpace. We are looking for the “best of the best.” When submitting
work, please do not bring every piece produced by your students as the show
has grown tremendously over the years and your pre-judging will help us keep
the quality of the show high while helping to reduce the sheer volume of
intake. In any case, please do not submit more than 30 pieces.
Drop off dates for
the works will be February 15-17, 10am -5pm and February 18, 10am-2pm.
Please have your pieces separated by category to ease the intake process.
In addition to having each piece marked with the enclosed tags, please email
a spreadsheet of the works your school is submitting to Kay VanMeter at kay@artspacelima.com.
This spreadsheet will be emailed (or faxed) back to you with the winning
pieces from your school highlighted. This process is intended to expedite
the time in which you learn of accepted works for the show as well as assist
with labeling the artwork. A sample spreadsheet is enclosed. You will hear
from us via email or fax with the show’s accepted works no later than noon
on Wednesday, February 22nd.
Please consult the
enclosed sheet for further information. Also, please be certain you have
completed the enclosed entry form for your school. Should you have
additional questions, contact ArtSpace/Lima at (419) 222-1721.
Thank you for
participating in this year’s Kewpee Invitational.
Best of luck to you
and your students.
Sincerely,
Kay Van Meter
