Remember - if you have already paid your dues for
2014-2015 or for 2015-2016 you are eligible to enter.
In 2015 Irving Art Association celebrates its 60th Anniversary and holds its 60th annual membership competition! As usual, up to three pieces of artwork can be entered (any subject except nudes; any style using a variety of mediums and support). See the prospectus for details. Register and pay online here. If you need a .doc or pdf to enter, email webmaster@irvingart.org
It’s a special time so we are marking the occasion by offering a Challenge Award to our members entering artwork based on the theme of the 60th anniversary. All challenge artwork will be included in the annual IAA Winners Exhibit traveling to the Irving Arts Center in July & August after the exhibition at the Jaycee Park Center for the Arts. These entries will still be eligible for other awards in their media category, etc.
Artwork may relate to the number 60 or any aspect of the association – activities, receptions, grounds, building, history, etc. For inspiration, try an doing an abstract of the numbers 60, the letters IAA, the name of the association, historical logos, etc. Or look at your old photos of IAA activities, Jaycee Park or the Center for the Arts. For more ideas see the online IAA Photo Album.
To see how the webmaster tackled the Challenge, see the latest posting on her blog: Taking the 60th IAA Challenge.
Juror will be Paula Nemec, BFA , who consults and teaches creativity through painting and design. Her media are aquamedia, printmaking and sculpture.
We will also be celebrating with a 60th Anniversary Celebration on May 30th, but more about that later…
