Archive Mode. Call Ekphrasis: Art inspired by other Art- across forms ended on 9/15/22, 11:59 PM. Call settings are read only. See Current Open Calls
This juried open call invites artists to submit art work inspired by different media: work inspired by a different art form. For example: an artist may submit a drawing inspired by a song or dance or poem, a sculpture inspired by another person's painting, a piece of music inspired by mural, a fiddle tune inspired photograph, a poem inspired by an art installation…
We are interested in how inspiration is translated. How is the essence of what moves us in a piece of art, a poem, a piece of music, transformed through our own interpretations into new media? What of that original energy or essence remains? Or does it transform entirely into something new?
Open call submissions will include material referencing (ideally, with permission) the initial inspiration. This might be a small postcard sized image, a copy of written material, a video etc... which could be displayed with the submitted works. Special consideration may be given to strong pieces that are part of an "Inspired chain" (a poem by Fred that inspires a dance by Sonia that inspires a painting by Molly, all shown together). Gather your creative friends and submit a chain!
You can leave this video on your call site's homepage (or embed it on any page) for a quick tutorial your users can watch to help them with the submission process.
