Terrain 2011
Spokane, Washington - June 28, 2011 — Terrain announces its 2011 call for artist's submissions.
Last year 4800 people piled into Spokane’s Music City building to view an exhibition of over 60 emerging local artists — some of whom had never shown in a gallery, coffee shop or public setting of any kind. In one night they gained the kind of exposure that takes years to achieve.
For Terrain 2011, organizers are reasserting their commitment to highlighting this bubbling undercurrent of young, local talent. We’d like to invite the region’s emerging artists to submit their latest work.
In our three years of existence, Terrain has shown works of visual art, sculpture, fiber art, photography, graffiti, film and installation pieces ranging from trash mosaics to mini suspended aquaria with live goldfish. We’ve showcased pop bands, dance troupes and poets. We make no distinction between high art and low art — we simply want to showcase emerging artists with talent and fresh perspectives.
Please submit online at www.terrainspokane.com. Submissions are due to the website by August 26, 2011 at midnight. Artists selected will be notified by September 10. We will only jury submitted art, so please only submit pieces that are available for the event.
Terrain 2011 will take place at the Music City Building (1011 W. First Ave., Spokane) on Friday, October 7 beginning at 5 pm and ending at 1:30 am.
ABOUT TERRAIN: Terrain was conceived in 2008 by a group of young organizers obsessed with helping their peers get noticed by the art establishment. Their idea was to host a juried exhibition with the atmosphere of a pop concert, giving all ages of people, regardless of taste in art or music, an excuse to come together, make contact and facilitate art that stretches across traditional boundaries.
Terrain 2011 is going to be an incredible night of art, rock and community. Join us.
