Call for Artists: The Arts Partnership ArtWORKS Program – Rolling Application

Zhimin Guan's "Grand Abstractions" exhibit currently on display at Fargo Hector Airport as part of our ArtWORKS program.

The Arts Partnership (TAP) has an open call for Metro-based and near-regional artists interested in participating in ArtWORKS, a program that fosters creativity and mindfulness by placing art in the public realm (businesses, offices, hospitals, airports and more). Participating artists have the opportunity to reach and interact with an audience that is art-appreciative but not necessarily art-articulate.

The focus of the program is primarily on solo exhibitions for visual artists working in 2-D. However, we also are looking for performing artists, musicians, writers, poets and artisans who could lead an employee engagement activity for those businesses and corporations interested in deepening their commitment to creativity in the workplace.

Eligibility

Artists must be based in the Metro area or surrounding region.

For visual artists:

  • All 2-D artwork is mounted and/or framed and installation-ready.
  • Artists would need to be able to provide 8-12 works (existing or new) that exhibit well together.
  • All artwork submitted must be original, owned by and created by the artist submitting the proposal.
  • All work must be appropriate for a business setting. The Arts Partnership and ArtWORKS business participants reserve the right to exclude works that are not considered business-appropriate.
  • Artists must be able to commit to a three- or four-month exhibition period (the length of time depends on the level of business participation).

For other than visual artists: 

  • Have the proven ability to lead a group in a 60- to 90-minute activity that encourages creativity in the workplace.

Specifications

Artists will receive a notification from The Arts Partnership staff with proposed dates for an ArtWORKS exhibit and/or employee engagement activity. The Arts Partnership staff will then schedule a time to meet with the artist to discuss details.

Artists are responsible for delivering the work to the ArtWORKS location for installation and collecting it after the exhibition period. No less than two weeks prior to the exhibition date, the artist will provide The Arts Partnership with images of each included artwork, a pricelist, and a short artist statement and bio.

All sales inquiries are made directly to the artist; neither the participating company nor The Arts Partnership receives a commission for the sale of artwork.

At the end of the exhibition period, The Arts Partnership issues each artist an honorarium as appreciation for their participation:

ArtWORKS Exhibit Level:
$75 for a 3-month solo exhibit of 8-12 artworks

ArtWORKS Engagement Level:
$100 for a 4-month solo exhibit of 8-12 artworks
$175 for an artist talk and leading an employee engagement activity

The stipend is only one benefit of participating in this program. If selected to participate, the artist will receive:

  • Professional development. Working closely with a curator to shape the exhibit helps you work out new ideas or refine a longer-term artistic approach.
  • A listing on our website as an ArtWORKS participating artist, with a link to your website.
  • The potential for art sales – by the corporation, employees or generally public. Although the work is available for sale, sales are not a primary purpose (nor conclusion) of the exhibit. That said, if work is sold, the artist receives 100% of the sales price.

Submit your application and related materials using the form below. This is an ongoing call for artists. If there are questions related to your application, The Arts Partnership will contact you.

Questions? Contact our Director of Operations Tania Blanich at tania@theartspartnership.net or 701.237.6133.
