Laurie
Tanner of the WNY Peace Center is planning an
exhibit at B West Studio (148 Elmwood Avenue). The exhibit will run from April 3rd to May
3rd.
Tanner
asks artists to submit images that revolve around the idea of peace. Politically-centered
pieces are also acceptable. Tanner promises that she will not censor anyone,
but asks that any violent images in a piece be kept to a respectable level.
Artists
may submit between three and 10 pieces, depending on size. All works must be
ready to hang (meaning framed), excluding canvas pieces that are properly
stretched for display. Media is also welcome, including written and 3-D works.
WNY
Peace is asking a $30 hanging fee, which is due prior to the work’s hanging. The
fee will help cover the building expenses and utilities. As for the breakdown
of numbers – 40 percent commission will be collected on the sales of artwork;
20 percent will be given to the gallery (the hanging fee may be deducted from
this); 20 percent will be given to the WNY Peace Center; leaving 20 percent for
the artist of the work.
Tanner
acknowledges the economic times, but still urges participation, noting that
people are more likely to attend and purchase if the proceeds are going to a
worthy cause.
The
group also seeks musicians to perform at the opening of the exhibit and
throughout the duration of the exhibit.
