Visual Art
April 18th, 25th and May 2nd are the dates for Artomatic 419 2009. This event offers an opportunity and some space for local artists, in all different stages of their careers, to showcase their talents, new ideas, current projects, or artistic collaborations to their community.
AVAILABLE ARTIST SPACES Bring your one time $30 registration fee, calendar to sign-up for volunteer hours, and cameras and tape measures to prepare for your planning.
Important Information for Visual Artists INSTALLATION Once everyone has picked their space for Artomatic419, we will open the building so that all artists can come in and set up their space.
The installation schedule:
Friday March 27, 5:30 - 9pm If you have not installed your art by April 5, 9:00 pm, your space will be allocated to someone else. No refunds.
Installation "Rules" - If you need to hang something from the ceiling, talk to a steering committee member first. Many of the ceilings are very high, so we will need to use the proper equipment and exercise the utmost safety when accessing the ceilings. A plan for hanging needs to be approved by a steering committee member to ensure the building itself or the flow through the space is not compromised. - Do not hang anything from pipes or existing wires. It is illegal. - You will have access to the Morris Street garage door entrance and the Ottawa Street entrances for unloading. Once you have unloaded, please move your car to the street. - Do NOT paint the floors. - You may hammer into or drill into the walls. However, do not drill so far through the walls that you drill right into someone else's artwork. Be mindful of electrical wires in the walls.
Can I paint my space? - You may use the electric sockets that are in your space. DO NOT make more sockets available than are already there. Use what you have, not some mini-network of extension cords. If you rig up a mini-network, do not be surprised to find it unplugged or removed next time you come around. Remember this is an old building. We are fortunate to have lots of spaces with access to electrical outlets and the potential for good lighting.
