I will drop off my application for the “Adopt an Artist Program” tomorrow…. However…..
I do not have framed works for retale sale….
What I am offering is a “decorated wall” with a varitety of quality photography - different sizes and styles of work.
This will be for display only, as I am interested in commissioned work…. not retail sails.
Vence at Sunshine Cleaners on US-24 is interested in having me decorate a wll behind their sales counter.
I would like to do this, and leave business cards for anyone interested in my work.
I can change or re-arrange our display as often as he would like.
We would like to do this under the Adopt an Artist Program - ACCC
This display would be a Photo Collage Grouping as each image is mountd as a “free-floating” independant image… three-dimentional … verticals and horizontals will be overlapping each other and arranged for over all composition. It will be a variety of work and a variety of sizes. However…. I will not know which ones will be used or the sizes of each one, until the unit is compleated… To to do this requires, time, patience, and careful arrangement.
Once it is compelated…. I could give you an inventory of images and sizes used. For that matter I could send you a photograph of the compleated project!

I don’t see a problem with this Larry however I will run this question by Sally the woman heading up the project. Sorry I have not gotten back to you - I have been out of town without internet access.

We are still looking for artists to participate in the Arts Council’s Adopt an Artist program.
With 21 businesses participating, and others expressing interest to do so, we just do not have enough work to display. Please consider becoming a part of this program. Forms are located on our website; http://www.artscouncilcarteret.org.
Businesses are looking for all types of artwork. With tourist season now beginning, some have recently expressed an interest in coastal scenes. Others have stated they’d like “large” pieces. Some have said they’d like “bold colors”. Others are interested in “groupings”. Some want two dimensional, others want three dimensional, and still others want both. In short, we have an audience for most everything.
Many of the participating businesses will be making their selections for the next display cycle (which will be May/June) in mid April. Send in your application packages by the middle of April so that your work may be included in those that are up for adoption.
You may submit as little as one piece of artwork. The program guidelines suggest “up to 8″, but if you have a few more than that, that’s OK too. Prints are acceptable in this program as well. Adopt an Artist is to assist you in getting your work seen. You may submit whatever you would like to. Give it a try!
For questions, contact Sally Lumpkin at sally@promiselandphoto.com or 252.659.0253.
