Monday, November 1.
What can you create in a 12” x 12” contained format? What we have learned over the past five years is an astounding array of imaginative and original art. It is hard to believe that we have hosted this fun event for six years - Wow! This show originated at our previous location -- ArtSpoken.
This show has grown to include international entries, but we have stayed true to our founding vision: the best and the brightest and most fun art for the holiday season.
To be eligible for judging, the art must be 12” x 12”. Period. Not 11”, not 13”, but 12” x 12”. That is it. If you have 3D entries, two of the three dimensions must be 12”, the third dimension can be no more than 12”, but it may be less.
We are thrilled to announce our juror this year is Carl McQueary. Carl is a knowledgeable collector, art scholar and life-long Texas historian. Recognizing the importance of Texas Modern Art, he curates exhibits at the Austin Museum of Art, Laguna Gloria and others; expanding the knowledge, appreciation, and promotion of artists from early Texas Modernists to today’s artists. He is also a writer and author of 'Dining at the Governor’s Mansion.'
The popularity of the 12” x 12” format has led to many other 12" x 12" shows around town; which is great for artists. Here is what to know about the Austin Art Space show:
- A respected impartial judge, Carl McQueary, juries it. All work is not automatically accepted.
- There is no set price limit on the art. That is your business, not ours.
- We do not take commission. Really. When a piece sells, the artist keeps 100% of the sale price.
- The show is solely about the art and the artists.
- For those artists accepted in the show – we notify local newspapers from your hometowns. We like to promote your success!
