Call for Artists : Wizard of Oz
Business Name : Stage West Playhouse and the Hernando County Fine Arts Council
Project Description : Calling all visual artists! We are seeking artwork for a two-part, themed art exhibit at Stage West Playhouse during their show’s run of Wizard of Oz in January. This is part of a new partnership with Stage West that aims to create an intersection of public art and performing arts during their stage productions! We will prioritize Hernando County artists for this opportunity, but will consider regional artists.
Details : In this two-part exhibit, artists are invited to explore the stark contrast between the monochromatic world of Kansas and the magical realm of Oz.
In the first part of the exhibit, we invite artists to delve into the subdued and drab nature of the beginning of the Wizard of Oz. Channel your creativity to capture the essence of black and white, portraying the simplicity of life in Kansas.
For the second part, we seek artists who can breathe life into the fantastical and vivid world of Oz! Just like the movie's transformation from black and white to color, this section of the exhibit is an opportunity to explore and showcase the vibrant and colorful palette of Oz.
How to Apply : Interested artists can submit for one part of this exhibit or both. Please email photos of your artwork to our Public Art Chair, Pedram Moghaddam, at pedram.moghaddam@hernandoarts.org. Selected artists will be notified and given further direction on how to drop off their artwork.
Important Dates :
Deadline to submit : January 12 at 5 PM
Performance Dates : January 19 - 21 and 26 - 28, 2024
