Call for Art
Butch Voices is interested in showcasing art created by Butches, Studs, Aggressives, and various transmasculine identified people attending the 2009 Butch Voices conference. Attendees are encouraged to bring art they have created for display to the 2009 Butch Voices conference in Oakland, this August 20th thru 23rd.
All forms of art are welcome, including: paintings, drawings, photography, multi-media works, sculpture, etc. Artists are responsible for their own shipping, installation and storage. Art will be on display throughout the conference meeting rooms and hallways for the duration of the conference.
We anticipate being able to accept up to 3 submissions per artist, space permitting. We may choose to decline pieces based on their size and/or space available. An artist’s reception will be scheduled during the conference, during which time artists will be able to discuss and explain their work with conference participants. Please also feel free to bring additional information such as an artist’s statements and any promotional materials.
If you are interested in having your art shown, please contact Jay Walls at jswalls@hotmail.com to secure your place in this Butch Voices art exhibition. Please include in your subject line “Butch Voices call for art”.
Please note that Butch Voices accepts no liability for any damage that be be sustained while art pieces are on display. Artists are advised to take reasonable precautions when displaying their work.
