CALL: Boston Cyberarts Festival 2005
The Boston Cyberarts Festival celebrates the use of technologies in all the arts.
http://www.bostoncyberarts.org/home_participation.html
Deadline: January 1, 2005
Artist Participation
For the individual visual or performing artists, there are three steps to being included in the Festival.
1. Visit our APropos Registry. Submit a general description of your work or a specific proposal for the next Festival. The submission deadline for the 2005 Festival is January 1st, 2005. Include links to your website and your email address so others can contact you. We will be also asking arts organizations to submit calls for entries for Festival related exhibits and events. So check it out on a regular basis.
2. Target specific arts institutions and propose a show or submit your work for consideration, especially (but not exclusively) those with which you have a previous relationship. Send a proposal and resume along with documentation or website information. On the outside of the letter write “Proposal (or artwork) for consideration for the 2005 Boston Cyberarts Festival.” This insures that it does not go into a regular proposal file, which is looked at only occasionally. A list of past participating arts organizations is available on this website in the past events listing from the 1999 Festival, 2001 Festival, and 2003 Festival. Other arts and educational organizations in the Greater Boston area may be interested in participating as well. Boston Cyberarts is always interested in including new organizations.
3. Propose a show or submit your work for consideration to Boston Cyberarts. Many of the exhibitions and performances in the last festival came about when arts organizations asked us who they ought to consider. Boston Cyberarts maintains records on numerous visual or performing artists. Make sure we have up to date information. Boston Cyberarts is foremost an organizing body. It does present some of its own exhibitions and performances during the Festival, but in most cases the exhibitions and performances are organized by the collaborating organizations (theaters, galleries, museums, etc.) and the participating artists.
