Call for Artists – 2022 MAC Members’ Show

The Mobile Arts Council (MAC) will feature works by our Artist Members for the months of July and August 2022. Artwork can be 2D or 3D, as well as audio/video. Artists may submit up to two pieces of work that are no larger than 3’x6′ in area total (combined). Artists with more than one entry are subject to have a piece juried out, depending on the number of entries received. All submissions must be digitally entered online by 10 a.m., June 21st. Artwork drop off will take place on July 1st from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and July 2nd from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 6 South Joachim Street.

2D works must be equipped to hang with a wire, sawtooth hanger, etc. (something that is compatible with our hanging system). Artists are requested to be present for the ArtWalk reception and awards ceremony on Friday, August 12th at 6:30 p.m. MAC takes a 20% commission on all art sales. Works do not have to be for sale. All works entered must not have been on display at MAC previously. Works must remain on display through Wednesday, August 31st.

    It seems that this show is getting earlier and earlier. I wish I had more time, but I’m going to try to have something by next Monday (June 20). I have been in the show before, but I’m not currently a member, so that will be taken care of when I enter.
