Fairy Tales and Folklore Exhibition

From the curator, Dawn Saun­ders Dahl:
“I have always been fas­ci­nated with story telling and pop cul­ture. Many sto­ries have been altered and have fallen fur­ther away from the orig­i­nal. My intent is to curate a con­tem­po­rary art exhibit that fea­tures new art­work inspired by orig­i­nal folklore/fairytales/stories. My spe­cific inter­est is with Cana­dian Folk­lore and Broth­ers Grimm Fairy Tales, but other artworks/stories would be accepted. I am look­ing for 10–15 Artists to par­tic­i­pate in a group exhibition.”
Would you like to par­tic­i­pate? Here are the next steps:

  • Pick a fairy tale or folk­lore story. Cre­ate a piece of art that accu­rately depicts the story
  • Fill out the appli­ca­tion form and pro­vide the requested sub­mis­sion require­ments by AUG 15, 2014
  • After appli­ca­tions have been received and reviewed, an appli­ca­tion will be made to 5 exhibit opportunities/galleries in West­ern Canada. Accepted appli­cants would be noti­fied by AUG 29, 2014.
  • Once exhibit loca­tion has been con­firmed, appli­cants will receive fur­ther infor­ma­tion regard­ing artist fees and shipping.

Art­work must be:
Made from any material/medium includ­ing but not lim­ited to sculp­ture, mixed media, pho­tog­ra­phy. ceramic, print­mak­ing, paint­ing, draw­ing instal­la­tion and video work.
inspired by orig­i­nal sto­ries from Fairy Tales/Folklore. (Altered images from Dis­ney ver­sions of Grimm’s Fairy Tales to reflect the true story would be acceptable.)
orig­i­nal and hand­made by the artist apply­ing to exhibit.
