Institute on Disability Seeks Artists for its 2012 Calendar
June 30, 2011
Durham, N.H. -- Are
you an artist looking for an opportunity to get your work noticed? Do
you know someone who is an artist and might be interested in such an
opportunity? Every year since 2000, the Institute on Disability (IOD) at
the University of New Hampshire has produced a calendar that features
13 original works of art. These highly anticipated calendars are
distributed each year to thousands of people around the world who are
connected to the IOD's mission of strengthening communities and ensuring
full access, equal opportunities, and participation for all persons.
The IOD is currently inviting artists to submit artwork to be considered
for its 2012 Calendar.
If you would like to submit, here are some simple guidelines to follow:
-
All artwork must be two-dimensional (i.e. drawings, paintings).
Unfortunately, we are unable to accept photography and sculpture.
-
Artwork for submission may be created for the purpose of this calendar or may be selected from an existing portfolio of work.
-
Artists are encouraged to submit artwork with vibrant colors (see links to past calendars below).
-
Artists are welcome to submit a maximum of three (3) works of art for consideration.
-
Submissions must include the artist's name, phone number, email address, and title(s) of artwork.
-
If chosen, the original work submitted will be requested and will need
to be sent to the IOD. All originals will be returned to the artists.

2010 and

Please do not send original artwork at this time. Digital copies (scanned or photographed artwork) for consideration should be sent as a JPG or PDF file to
contact.iod@unh.edu
with “2012 IOD Calendar Art” in the subject line. If you would like to
submit a printed copy (not an original) of your artwork via U.S. postal
mail, please mail it to:

The 13 finalists will be asked to complete an
Artwork Release Form. Please be sure you are able to comply with the terms of the release form prior to submitting.
The deadline for submissions is Friday, July 29, 2011. All artists whose work is chosen for the 2012 Calendar will be contacted by August 26.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact the IOD.
Good luck and we look forward to your submission!
