CALL FOR ART: 2nd Annual Singular/Similar Solstice


Trabant Coffee & Chai and the Seattle Arts Coalition present:

The official Call For Art for the 2nd Annual "Singular/Similar Solstice!"

Everyone knows that no two snowflakes are alike... but what if they all started as the same shape, and deviated independently?

The challenge:
Create your own unique snowflake! Decorate it any way you like, paint it, sculpt it, collage on it, bedazzle it, incorporate it into a larger piece, cut it up - your imagination is the limit!

The materials:
Wooden laser cut snowflakes (provided by SAC, courtesy of Bellevue Fine Art Reproduction)
Ribbon for hanging (provided by SAC)

***Since it's only 3 weeks before the show opening, we are also opening the Call to other winter and holiday themed art! Art must arrive ready to hang, with title, price, and contact info attached.***

Laser cut snowflakes are available starting Friday the 14th! You can pick them up directly from Braden as well as at Trabant in Pioneer Square. Trabant has a sign up sheet for your name, contact info, and the # of snowflakes/art pieces you're making.

Drop off deadline: Wednesday, 3 December by 6pm, either at Trabant in Pioneer Square, or you can arrange a pick-up with Braden.

Trabant takes a 40% commission, so consider your pricing accordingly.

Please post pics of your completed snowflakes/art pieces here or send them to Braden's email: bcduncan.art@gmail.com. Pics we receive before the 30th will be featured on the flyer!

The show opens Thursday, 4 December for the Pioneer Square Art Walk. Hope to see you all there!

Feel free to contact Braden with any questions. Cheers!
