Your Last Minute Reminder! BUILT Call for Entries
Call for Entries: BUILT On View at 23 Sandy Gallery: April 7 – May 27, 2017 Submission Deadline: January 7, 2017
23 Sandy Gallery is calling for submissions for BUILT: Book art as a context to explore architecture, design, the built world, the built book.
This international juried exhibition of book and paper art aims to examine the relationship between contemporary book art practices and architecture, engineering, landscape and construction as form, function and structure. Let's re-image the ways we as designers, of either books or buildings can inhabit and shape the world around us. Our disciplines have a natural synergy. After all, books and buildings are both kinetic, sequential, structural and time based. Taken a step further, book art can provide a framework for topics like urbanism, town planning, buildings and space. Let's examine the relationship between the built and the book.
This exhibit is open to handmade book and paper arts related works created as either edition or one-of-a-kind. Artist books, sculptural books, book objects, altered books, zines, and broadsides are all encouraged.
The gallery will award $500 in purchase prizes, plus three best of show awards.
23 Sandy Gallery is a fine art gallery located in Portland, Oregon. Open since 2007, we present local and national artists working in contemporary book and paper arts.

Deadline for submissions is January 7, 2017.
Happy creating,
