If you are a Minnesota artist, you have to do this.
Every ten years, the Minneapolis Institute of Art allows anyone to hang work in their gallery. The only requirements: Be a Minnesotan. The piece of art has to measure one cubic foot or less. Could be a cool page. A panel you like. An animation cel. A small sculpture. Anything.
(In the fine print it says something about not allowing living things, bugs, plants, liquids or hazardous materials — and some more stuff. Read the rules. But there’s not much more to it than one cubic foot.)
From the Web site: WHO QUALIFIES: Anyone living in Minnesota who considers him- or herself an artist. Limit one (1) artwork per artist.
The show is called “Foot In The Door 4.” And it’s a madhouse. When all the pieces are displayed it’s almost impossible to look at. Many walls crammed with one-foot square things. But still — there you are, in the same building as Rembrandt and Van Gogh and all those other famous dead guys.
You gotta do this.
Deadline: Thursday, Feb. 4 through Sunday, Feb. 7.
What exactly is the definition of “Minnesotan”? I’ve lived here since May’09,but don’t have an i.d. that says “Minnesota” yet.
Nevermind. I clicked the link.Sorry.
Scott, I just looked on the site as I was questioning that. It says its open to “Anyone living in Minnesota who considers him- or herself an artist” so you don’t have to be a real Minnesotan……fake ones are allowed too!
thank you very much for noting this my space-brother. very crucial(crucial as in “sweet” or “mint”)
I will have to look into this. Thank you, David
