2014 exhibition

Columbus, Ohio—The Greater Columbus Arts Council (Arts Council) in collaboration with PromoWest Productions has announced a call for entries for the annual art exhibition featuring artists, designers and photographers residing in Franklin County.

The theme for the 2015 exhibition is PromoWest and Columbus Make Art to celebrate the launch of the new campaign to spotlight the city’s amazing artists Art Makes Columbus/Columbus Makes Art. Each design will pay tribute to the artists who make Columbus great. No other city has this unique collection of creative people. Whether they are musicians, painters, sculptors, glass blowers, designers, actors, writers—and any creative endeavor that can be thought of and pursued, this exhibition will shine a spotlight on the amazing artistic talent in Columbus.

A review committee of community and Arena District business representatives will select 10 artists for public voting on the project website. The top-ranked pieces, as voted by the public, will be produced as full-color mural designs and displayed for one year on the south side of A&R Music Bar in the Arena District (facing Huntington Park and Neil Avenue). The four selected artists from the public vote will be paid a $500 honorarium by the Arts Council.

Entrants must be residents of Franklin County.  Any artist and /or photographer, or team of artists and/or photographers or designers is eligible. Students are also welcome to participate. Only one design per artist/team is allowed. Applicants must register and apply online by Aug. 7, 2015 at 5 p.m. at www.promowestartexhibit.com.
