POETRY OUT LOUD
TOUCHING YOUNG LIVES
|
When Frank De La Torre first heard about California Poetry Out Loud, he was eager to compete. He loves to
rap and gets the connection to poetry--even the classics, which many kids can't relate to and rarely read
or hear. Frankie was all in from jump. His main concern was over his practice space. The only place he
could practice would be his room. Why was that a problem? Because his room was a cell.

"INSTALLATIONS"
|
An Open Call for Artists Interested in Installing
One-off Artworks Indoors and Outdoors
Your opportunity to exhibit in one of the largest and most visible art venues in Ventura County! Thousands
of people pass through the space every weekday!
About the Show
Typically shows at the Atrium Gallery are based on a specific theme. There is no theme for this show.
The Arts Council is seeking ideas from artists who would like to create special one-off works for specific
locations within the Gallery and in the grounds outside the Gallery.
While work could be installed on the normal exhibition walls, the Council is
looking for work that could also occupy other niches within the Gallery and work areas of the
Ventura County Hall of Administration (HOA) and in the outdoor areas surrounding the HOA. We have not
tried this before and so it is a giant EXPERIMENT (that the County will have to agree to after seeing the proposals).
The Council has (with the County's approval) installed a full-sized bear sculpture in the landscaping; swans
in the working fountain at the building entrance; hung tapestries from balcony railings, and suspended jellyfish
from mid-air skyhooks. So, the unexpected is possible.
The show is not until August 22nd, but we are asking for drawings, illustrations, photo-shopped images, etc.
by April 6th to gauge the level of interest in this project. If we do not have enough interest, we will
schedule a more conventional competitive show.
If you have the faintest interest in this project contact Todd Collart (Gallery Coordinator) immediately to
discuss the project and to arrange for a site tour.
Contact Todd or (805) 644-2923.
Key Exhibit Dates -
* Contact Gallery Coordinator Immediately if interested
* On-site tours and discussions will be held throughout March based on interest and convenient meeting times
* Submit initial proposals to the Gallery Coordinator by Friday, April 6, 2012 5:00pm (If emailing images,
please make small files). This date is used to determine the number of serious proposals.
Submissions after the deadline will be considered when feasible
