Dear Aritcans!
We've extended the proposal deadline for any projects that do not include a fire element!
We had a successful fundraiser on November 7th but we were only able to raise enough money to cover operating expenses for the festival this year. Unfortunately we are unable to fund any art projects for the winter... solstice. We pray this does not deter you from participating in:
Artica 2009: Time Travelers' Homecoming, A Winter Solstice Celebration!
CALL TO ARTISTS-Deadline is extended to December 7, 2009 for non-fire related works!
Artists, musicians, poets, performers and creative citizens are invited to participate in Artica 2009.
Artica is a multi-media outdoor participatory arts festival developed to provide the people of the St. Louis metropolitan area with the opportunity to come together as a community through creative self-expression.
WHEN AND WHERE
Artica 2009 will take place on Saturday, December 19th from noon to midnight in the area around Dickson and Lewis Streets north of the Gateway Arch.
VESSEL AWARDS
Unfortunately we are unable to fund any projects for December 19, 2009.
GUIDELINES
Although we welcome all manner of ideas and projects, particular consideration will be given to works that are in some way interactive, participatory or landscape-oriented and hold relevance to the history of this area or the Mississippi River.
The organizers reserve the right to refuse any proposal that may be harmful or dangerous to the environment, wildlife or humans.
All work will be exposed to the elements and unprotected from scavengers and vandals.
Be aware that this area is in constant development and decay. Your selected site may change at any time. Please be flexible.
ARTISTS’ RESPONSIBILITIES
FINANCIAL
All artists are responsible for any expenses incurred in creating, producing, installing, maintaining and removing their work.
ARTWORK REMOVAL
After the festival, artists may choose to remove their work or leave it on the site. Controlled and beautiful decay can be a beautiful and valid artistic statement. However artists should be respectful of public and private property and of safety issues.
SPECIAL NEEDS
Anyone requiring special needs such as water, generators, electricity, lighting, projection, sound systems, etc. must provide their own equipment and have the expertise to operate such equipment in an outdoor environment, as well as coordinate the set up and use of said equipment with the organizers of Artica.
SPECIAL SOLUTIONS
There may be other artists who require the same needs and are willing to share expenses, responsibility and expertise. The organizers will do their best to create a contact network of artists for sharing resources.
CLEAN UP
This is a leave no trace event, other than art and goodwill. Our goal is to leave the Artica area cleaner that we found it. We want to create a positive impact on this community not only with our art but also with our behavior. Therefore it is the responsibility of all artists to participate in cleanup activities.
SITE VISITS
It is highly recommended that artists tour the Artica site before making any proposals. This area always changes and has changed dramatically since we were last here. We will post times when we have scheduled site visits. You may tour the site at your own convenience and a map and directions are available on the Artica web site.
APPLICATION
Deadline for Application is extended to December 7, 2009
It’s easy.
