CALL FOR ENTRIES Birthday Suit: An Exhibition of Artist Made Clothing

Call for Submissions
OPENSOURCE Art invites artists and designers to participate in our second anniversary celebration by producing, exhibiting, and selling their own t-shirts, shorts, shoes, gowns, hats, belts, lingerie, MC Hammer pants … whatever. There’s no theme and only one request: All items should come in an edition
of at least five. That’s right, multiple wearables please. Even though we would like items within the edition to be somewhat consistent, we don’t mind if they’re not identical.
Deadline for submissions: December 3, 2006
Exhibition dates: December 7- December 17
Opening Reception: December 7, 7-10pm
Guidelines
There is no entry fee and artists may submit as many separate editions as they like. However,
OPENSOURCE suggests a 20\% donation on all sales in order to offset operating costs. Since
Birthday Suit is an unjuried show, there’s no need to send us a proposal. Just ship items to:

OPENSOURCE Art
12 E. Washington St.
Champaign, Illinois 61820

Questions? Email [email protected] or Katie Hargrave at [email protected]. Unsold clothing will be shipped back to the participants and paid for by deducting the shipping costs from the artist’s 80\% share of sales income. In the unlikely event that sales do not cover the return cost of shipping, OPENSOURCE will contact the artist and request a check for return postage. Local participants may contact OPENSOURCE to arrange to drop off and pick up submissions in person. Include return postage information: materials that cannot be returned will become donations to OPENSOURCE. OPENSOURCE is not responsible for lost or damaged material.
