Join us for the June 7th Saturday Art
Adventure from 10am-12pm for guided tours of the exhibit and hands-on
book art.
And if you'd like to try your own hand at
bookmaking, check out our
Bookmaking Workshop! |
In the unique exhibit, twenty-four artists
joined in artistic dialogue through the creation and sharing of handmade
and altered books. The resulting artwork is not always a traditional
book format.
The work began with one artist created the
basic format for a artwork. The book then passed to the other seven
artists in the group for addition and alterations. The pieces explore a
range of ideas, size and structure.
Be prepared to open drawers, unlock a
padlock, untie threads or turn pages as interaction with each artist’s
book allows for an intimate view into their world, much like finding
treasures in someone’s attic or closet.
Artists in this exhibition come from five
states, including Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Virginia and North
Carolina. The artists include: Becky O’Bannon ▪ Holly Bishop
▪ Helen Brown ▪ Dianne Dorset ▪ Liliane
Francuz ▪ Laura Guinan ▪ Jean Gumpper ▪
Caren Hegna ▪ Helen Hoff ▪ Sonja Huff ▪
Linda Lyman ▪ Florence Alfano McEwin ▪ Sharon
Merschat ▪ Bronwyn Minton ▪ Linda Nix ▪
Amber Battista Olson ▪ Stephanie Jo Painter ▪
Elizabeth Posapio ▪ Linda Ryan ▪ Sue Sommers
▪ Nancy Stroh ▪ Susan Thulin ▪ Lu Del
Walter ▪ Donna Wilson.

GUIDELINES |
Attention Young Artists! Want to
exhibit your work? The
Dahl Arts Center is seeking all types of visual artists in their
teens & twenties for consideration for the next Emerging Artist
show.
DEADLINE FOR PORTFOLIOS: July 1,
2008
(exhibit dates and exact location
to be determined once artist(s) has been chosen)
Interested artists should download
this brochure (pdf here) for specific submission guidelines and
details, or contact Amethyst at the Dahl Arts Center: 605.394.4101
ext.209, amethyst@thedahl.org
The Emerging Artist Spotlight
Series at the Dahl Arts Center was created to showcase young local
talent as well as to assist young upcoming artists in the area with
learning to professionally present and exhibit their work. The
opportunity to be featured in an Emerging Artist Show is open to all
local & closely regional artists in their teens & twenties whom are
able to meet portfolio and presentation requirements. Artists may be
of an amateur or semi-professional level. Shows are held at the Dahl
or at alternative locations while the Dahl expansion construction is
taking place. Not all artists who submit portfolios will be chosen
to exhibit their work, but all portfolios received will be
considered.
Interested artists must submit a
portfolio for review (see guidelines in downloadable brochure). All
submitted portfolios are reviewed by the Rapid City Arts Council
Exhibits Committee, Dahl Arts Center Exhibits Curator Mary Maxon,
and Emerging Artist Series Coordinator Amethyst Thorpe.
Decisions are based on several
factors, including the level of talent of the artist; the quality
and originality of the work; as well as professional presentation
and subject matter. In general, several portfolios at a time will be
reviewed and only one or two artists will be selected to be featured
in each show. Some exceptional portfolios may be held for
re-consideration at a later time if there is no current open slot
for an Emerging Artist Show.
The Emerging Artist Spotlight
Series program is supported by the Allied Arts Fund and the Stanford
Adelstein Grant
