CALL FOR ENTRIES - STORYBOOK

Thank you to everyone who applied! Applications are being reviewed.

West Valley Arts is pleased to announce we are currently accepting entries for an upcoming, curated exhibit titled StoryBook, which will be displayed at the West Valley City Performing Arts Center during West Valley Arts Production of Disney's Beauty and the Beast.  Both the theatrical event and exhibit will be shown in the “round room” at the WVCPAC from January 20 – March 26, 2022.  Both 2-D and 3-D works will be considered. 
 
Although encouraged, selected pieces do not necessarily have to specifically feature Beauty and the Beast characters, visuals, or themes, but must feature visual stylings related to folk and fairy tales, fables, traditional children’s narratives, and other fanciful, illustrative, classic children’s stories. 
 
To apply, please email up to three digital image(s) of the piece(s) to be considered to Michael Christensen by December 31. Please include dimensions, medium, title, and sale price with each submission.  There is no fee for submission or review. Accepted works will be determined by West Valley Arts Visual Arts and Theatre staff. 
 
Pieces accepted into the exhibit will be delivered to the West Valley City Performing Arts Center (3333 Decker Lake Drive, West Valley City, UT 84119), framed and ready for hanging, or for floor/pedestal display on Wednesday, January 5, 2022. 
 
Items will be available for sale, unless identified as NFS, with a 30% commission retained by West Valley Arts.   
 
Please feel free to share with other artist or arts organizations.
