Ithaca Fine Chocolates aims to support art education programs and promote practicing visual artists working in non-functional media. Artworks featured in Art Bars are chosen annually by a panel of artists, art historians, and museum professionals. If you're an artist interested in submitting work, please send: * 5-10 digital images in jpg format at 72 dpi only. (Please submit a maximum of ten images; only the first ten will be reviewed if more are sent.)
* a separate, numbered image list, including the title, medium, date and dimensions of each image. Please be sure that the digital image names are both numbered and titled to match the image list and that your name is at the top of the document.
* artist statement, one-page maximum with your name at the top of the document. If the image list and artist statement are short enough, please combine them into one document.
* resume, including name, mailing address, email and telephone number, one-page maximum.

Participating Artist Buzz Spector's Art Bar Story:
"A week ago I drove down to Princeton, New Jersey... while there I ran into a former student of mine, now teaching printmaking...he was with friends so we all went out for coffee. Just as I reached the cash register at the coffeeshop, one of the group asked me what kind of art I make. Seeing a box of Art Bars on the counter, I explained that a work of mine was pictured on a card in one of these bars. I pulled one bar out at random, paid for it, opened the wrapper, and there was my card! What fun this all is!" |
