Philadelphia Sculptors will provide one book free of charge (pick-up only – books can be mailed for a shipping fee of $10) to any artist who does not already have one. The selected sculptures will be exhibited at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia from May 30 – June 13, 2010 and then auctioned off to benefit the artist residency program of PAEP. Artists will receive 25% of the proceeds from sold works and one artist will receive a “Best in Show” award of $150. Artists working in all media are encouraged to participate. Artists may submit proposals or completed works for consideration. All submissions, including images, must be made online.

Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site seeks proposals for its 2011 tour season and beyond. Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site was once the most famous and expensive prison in the world, but stands today in ruin, a haunting world of crumbling cellblocks and empty guard towers. Known for its grand architecture and strict discipline, this was the world’s first true “penitentiary,” a prison designed to inspire penitence, or true regret, in the hearts of convicts.
It is recommended that artists begin the proposal process by attending an art orientation tour. These tours give the artists a chance to walk through the space, discuss what makes a successful proposal, ask questions, and observe visitors interacting with the current artist installations. Full details are available on the website at http://www.easternstate.org/exhibits/guidelines.php.
