CALL TO ARTISTS!

February 2025

CALL TO ARTISTS! Please click on image above to submit your entry for the FANTASY & FICTION exhibit. This show runs February 7-28, 2025, at The ARTS at Marks Garage. Deadline for entry is Saturday, January 18, 2025. Selected participants will be notified by Saturday, January 25, 2025.
"Once Upon a Time, in a land far, far away..." Those magical words transported us as children into worlds unknown. Fantasies and adventures awaited us at the end of that sentence. We are going to re-create that magical realm in February, as we celebrate National Fairytale Month! We are soliciting ORIGINAL 2D and 3D art that sweeps us off our feet and into a dimension where we can suspend our disbelief for a little while. You are limited only by your imagination, so get creative! We are requiring that all works submitted have never previously been shown in the gallery at The ARTS at Marks Garage. You may submit up to four pieces for consideration. Each piece should not exceed 30 inches on the longest side. Accepted artists will be able to sell "pop-up" pieces as well, including prints, cards, studies, and other items.

While there is no upfront submission fee to enter, a $75 participation fee will be charged upon acceptance in the show. This fee contributes to a small portion of the cost of hosting the month-long exhibit, including an opening and closing reception. This is a "cash and carry" show, which means that works may be taken once sold. This provides the artists an opportunity to replace items for additional showings and sales. If you sell at least $500 of work, the participation fee will be returned at time of settlement. There is a 70% / 30% sales split. 30% of gross sales to be donated to The ARTS at Marks Garage to help fund and operate future programs.

In our twenty-year journey, The ARTS at Marks Garage, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, has become the most inclusive and diverse community arts incubator in Honolulu, providing opportunities and a safe space for every individual to grow in the arts. We cannot do this alone, and are grateful for the individuals and organizations who help us continue our mission to serve the community, revitalize the neighborhood, and support emerging local artists in all creative mediums.
