If you are a Minnesota artist, you have to do this.<\/p>\n
Every ten years, the Minneapolis Institute of Art<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n
(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.)<\/p>\n
From the Web site<\/a>: WHO QUALIFIES: Anyone living in Minnesota who considers him- or herself an artist. Limit one (1) artwork per artist. <\/p>\n
The show is called “Foot In The Door 4.”<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n
You gotta do this.<\/p>\n
Deadline: Thursday, Feb. 4 through Sunday, Feb. 7.<\/p>\n
