Call for Artists!

La Reunion and The Belmont Hotel present
‘Art With a View’ - La Reunion in the OC

The La Reunion artist selection committee is making a call for art relating to Oak Cliff and specifically La Reunion if possible. All media will be considered, although works wired and ready to hang will be given preference.

Inspiration:
The original La Reunion colony was instrumental in the cultural formation of Dallas and specifically Oak Cliff in the mid-1800’s. The first piano and brewery were here as a direct result of their settlement. Although they failed as a utopian artist colony, they have had a lasting impact on current Dallas through street names, descendants, and artistic sensibilities. Feel free to Google the colony for access to pictures, maps, and other historical information. Be creative!

Important dates:
- Entries due: 5PM on Wednesday, Jan 17. (see below for digital requirements)
- Selected Art Delivered to the Belmont: 2PM on Sunday, Jan 21.
- Reception: 7-10PM on Wednesday, Jan 24.
- Pickup of unsold works: 5PM on Wednesday, March 14.

Art requirements:-
- Submission: a good quality digital photo resized no larger than 1000 pixels in either vertical or horizontal direction emailed to sarah@lareuniontx.org.
- Include your name, title of work, medium, and dimensions in the body of the email.

Other Important information:
- Commission split is 70% to the artist and 30% as a tax deductible donation to La Reunion.
- Show will be promoted through The Belmont Hotel, La Reunion and a press release will be sent to all local media.

Please contact Sarah@LaReunionTX.org for more information!
