[0:01] Hey, I'm gonna get started.
[0:03] I'd like to welcome all of you to the People's Gallery.
[0:06] Thank you so much for coming tonight.
[0:09] My name is Suzanne Burton,
[0:11] and I'm the exhibition coordinator at City Hall.
[0:15] The People's Gallery is a program of the City of Austin's
[0:18] Economic Development Department's Cultural Arts Division.
[0:22] And the gallery mission is to showcase the work of regional artists
[0:26] to encourage public dialogue and the enjoyment of visual art.
[0:31] We just opened up a call for two different application systems.
[0:36] One is our standard call, and the other one is called Install the Wall.
[0:42] This will be for the 2019 People's Gallery exhibition, which is also our 15th.
[0:49] Without much further ado, I will just dive right in.
[0:53] So as you can see, our call opened on August 1st and it's going to close at 5 p.m. October 17th.
[1:03] Whoops.
[1:05] The eligibility to apply, you must be at least 18 years of age.
[1:11] You must live or studio out of one of the following Texas counties.
[1:15] There are seven, Bastrop, Blanco, Burnett, Caldwell, Hayes, Travis, and Williamson.
[1:21] and visual arts organizations in any of these counties are eligible and we
[1:28] welcome submissions of all mediums. For our standard call there are several
[1:34] locations both inside and outside the building. Our available exterior
[1:41] exhibition space is the second floor mezzanine. If you were to take the
[1:46] elevators that you came up on from the parking garage and you went up to
[1:51] the second level, you will see the mezzanine right out there. So we also have the City
[1:59] Hall Plaza. All the exhibition spaces outside are determined on a case-by-case basis. Our
[2:09] available interior exhibition space is the first floor atrium lobby and limited locations
[2:16] in adjoining public rooms.
[2:19] Self-supporting sculptor platforms must not exceed
[2:22] a six by six foot footprint
[2:24] and must be at least four and three-quarters inches high.
[2:28] The platforms are to be provided by the artists
[2:31] and painted with a glossy washable paint.
[2:35] The weight also may not exceed 200 pounds
[2:37] per 18 by 18 inch floor tile.
[2:41] So basically why we're asking for platforms
[2:43] for large scale works is that it is ADA compliant
[2:48] and it's a liability issue if someone were to trip
[2:51] and fall over your work.
[2:53] That would definitely not be a good thing.
[2:56] So we ask for the four and three quarters inch platform
[3:01] just to keep people from getting hurt
[3:03] or hurting the artwork.
[3:05] So that's why we ask for that.
[3:07] And we ask for the glossy washable paint
[3:10] to maintain your work.
[3:14] This is a picture of the current exhibition
[3:16] from the second floor walkway over the atrium.
[3:22] This is in the second floor staircase,
[3:25] not the mayor's staircase,
[3:27] but it's directly out here in the atrium.
[3:29] So we do have spaces in all kinds of nooks and crannies
[3:34] in the building.
[3:35] Here's an example of large scale sculptures
[3:38] we have had in the past
[3:39] that are on artist-provided platforms.
[3:44] And this year, in addition to our standard application,
[3:48] we're hosting Install the Wall.
[3:50] For this application, we're seeking submissions
[3:53] of proposals for two- and three-dimensional works
[3:57] for installation in the mayor's stairwell.
[4:00] And before I go on with the budget
[4:02] and more information about that,
[4:05] if any of you after this presentation
[4:07] would like to go on a group tour with me,
[4:10] I'm happy to show you all the spaces
[4:12] and answer any questions you might have.
[4:15] So for install the wall, our budget is $3,000,
[4:19] and the budget must include materials,
[4:22] installation, and de-installation of the work.
[4:26] Unfortunately in that stairwell,
[4:28] we do not have any electrical outlets,
[4:30] so no works that involve electronics
[4:34] or lighted components will be viable.
[4:36] So, that's just something to think about.
[4:41] If you're chosen, the budget, also, since it goes towards installation and de-installation,
[4:48] the city does not provide ladders or scaffolding, so if you're chosen, that would be part of
[4:53] your installation and de-installation costs from the budget.
[5:00] So, here we have a blueprint for install the wall.
[5:03] This is a stairwell that's directly behind me.
[5:07] It leads from this room, Council Chambers, up to the mayoral wing of City Hall.
[5:13] You will see on our website and also within the application system that the same blueprint
[5:19] image is there.
[5:23] So this is a shot of the mayor's stairwell where install the wall is we're taking applications.
[5:32] In the second floor elevator lobby and surrounding conference rooms, the East and West Hallway
[5:39] corridors which are the council member's wing, economic development, and the mayor's wing.
[5:46] So those are the available spaces on the second floor and that's where the bulk of artworks go
[5:51] because we have the most room.
[5:55] Here's a picture of an installation we had a few years back in that
[5:59] stairwell and
[6:03] this is an installation shot from another artist who also installed on that wall.
[6:10] This
[6:20] is just an example of what the gallery looks like and there's the staircase again.
[6:31] So basically each year, when the works are chosen, they're installed by professionals
[6:37] and these are just some process shots of how the works go up in different areas in
[6:44] which they are installed.
[7:26] Thank you.
[7:31] Other available spaces on the third floor, there is a walkway that this sculpture is
[7:38] currently installed in.
[7:40] There are lobby and conference room areas.
[7:45] Again, the self-supporting sculptures, large-scale sculptures, must have platforms, but for the
[7:51] third floor stairwell, they may not exceed 42 inches in depth.
[7:56] depth. Again, it's an ADA compliance and liability issue. So the width of the pedestal can't
[8:05] exceed 42 inches in depth, but the piece may be probably up to 20 feet wide. So that's
[8:14] something to keep in mind if you're a large-scale sculptor. And on the fourth floor of the
[8:20] building, there is no artwork. So the gallery is just taking up the first three floors.
[8:25] Each year we have about 90 artists who are chosen out of 350 plus applicants.
[8:33] We get about 1,300 submissions.
[8:37] And of those submissions we have about 120 artworks that are chosen.
[8:45] Here's another example of that walkway.
[8:48] This sculpture was no deeper than 42 inches, but as you can see it was about 15 feet wide.
[8:59] And I will take you to this website after this PowerPoint presentation.
[9:04] I, in the next five slides, have some excerpts from our full guidelines, which are on our website.
[9:12] These guidelines will be very important to review because they're folded into the loan agreement.
[9:19] If your work is chosen, the guidelines that are at austincreates.com will be part of your loan agreement.
[9:27] So,
[9:30] things that have been gleaned from that information in the complete call, we respect
[9:36] freedom of expression and visual art, but City Hall and the public plaza do not function
[9:42] as a traditional gallery or museum.
[9:45] The City reserves the right to allow the installation of artwork and to remove or relocate
[9:51] artwork at its sole discretion.
[9:54] Display of artwork in Austin City Hall does not create a public forum.
[9:59] Artwork displayed within the City Hall block shall be appropriate to an office setting and
[10:04] for viewing by public officials, city employees, and citizens transacting business in the building.
[10:11] If the program manager receives a complaint that a particular work of art is derisive,
[10:16] vulgar, gruesome, or otherwise offensive to visitors, the city manager shall review
[10:22] the complaint and make a determination. The city manager retained sole discretion as to
[10:28] whether to move or remove artwork subject to a complaint. So basically this building was
[10:35] built as an office setting. It began, the building opened in 2005 and Mayor will win
[10:44] at the time. His wife decided this was a wonderful place to have an art gallery.
[10:50] But again, the architect did not have in mind that it would be a gallery.
[10:58] So everything must be suitable to the public.
[11:04] If any of your submissions are accepted and you agree to exhibit with us, you may offer
[11:09] your works for sale.
[11:11] All of the sales are between you and the buyer.
[11:14] The city is not involved in any sales transactions and does not receive a commission.
[11:20] People who work in the city of Austin's economic development department are ineligible to apply.
[11:27] If you work for another department, you are eligible to apply but may not offer your work
[11:32] for sale.
[11:37] Insurance.
[11:38] Our fine arts insurance policy provides coverage for artwork loaned to the city for exhibition.
[11:44] However, we disclaim liability up to the policies deductible of $2,500 and in excess
[11:51] of the policy limits.
[11:54] We'll take every reasonable precaution
[11:56] to secure the safety of artwork
[11:57] on loan to the city,
[11:59] but are not responsible for damage or theft,
[12:02] except as covered in the
[12:03] fine arts insurance policy.
[12:06] The lender of the artwork assumes
[12:07] all uncovered risk.
[12:09] If the lender wants to waive coverage
[12:11] under the city's fine arts insurance policy,
[12:14] you may provide
[12:15] your own insurance, we would just need
[12:17] a certificate of insurance.
[12:19] The lender will be responsible for all installation and de-installation costs that exceed normal
[12:27] installation and de-installation methods as provided by the city.
[12:33] The program manager may allow the lender to install and de-install the work under their
[12:38] supervision.
[12:40] The program manager also may allow artwork to be removed and replaced at specified
[12:45] during an exhibit, but prefer that the work remains on display for the term of the loan agreement.
[12:52] The same guidelines apply to artwork removed and replaced during an exhibition as applied to the original
[12:58] install or dismantling of an exhibition.
[13:02] So basically when your work is accepted and dropped off at City Hall, we do have professional installers
[13:10] that will put the works up.
[13:12] If you have a large-scale or unwieldy piece,
[13:16] you would be welcome to come install it yourself.
[13:19] We have very limited staff to help,
[13:21] but we're always happy to help.
[13:24] If you find that you need to remove a work during the show,
[13:29] we do prefer that they stay here for the entire 11 months.
[13:34] But we're all about promoting you and helping you sell your works.
[13:38] So if something sells or it gets into a show,
[13:42] I'll make all the accommodations I can to help you in doing that.
[13:47] But we would request that you replace the piece you take out with another piece.
[13:56] Again, City Hall was not designed as a gallery space.
[14:00] It has lots of hallways.
[14:02] Some of them are narrow.
[14:04] They're not always ideal to each artist, locations that their works are in.
[14:09] but we do our best with the space we have.
[14:13] Artwork that is left beyond the loan agreement end date
[14:16] will be considered abandoned property
[14:19] and the city may dispose of the artwork
[14:21] in accordance with its applicable policy
[14:24] regarding abandoned property
[14:25] found in Chapter 911 of the city code
[14:29] or as the city's policy may be subsequently amended.
[14:33] The city is not responsible for the storage of artworks
[14:36] after expiration of the loan agreement.
[14:39] Lender may be liable for city's cost to remove
[14:42] and dispose of the artwork.
[14:48] And this is a quick video that shows our exhibit this year.
[15:58] And if you noticed in the video, there are a majority of limestone walls here on the first
[16:04] floor, so we would involve different hanging methods than we would for pieces that could
[16:12] go on the drywall on the second and third floors. I'll get more into that later when
[16:18] we get to the actual application. Each year, we have something called the people's choice,
[16:24] The public and staff, any visitor to the building is welcome to vote for their top three favorite artworks.
[16:32] The voting ends at the end of October of each year.
[16:37] And we pick the highest voted piece if it's within our budget of $5,000,
[16:43] and it is purchased by the city for its permanent collection.
[16:48] So if you get into the show and your work is for sale, it's eligible to be purchased by the city.
[16:55] And next year, being our 15th iteration of the exhibition series, we will announce that are opening the 14th piece that is being purchased by the city.
[17:07] And if you would like to vote for any of the pieces in this show, we do have ballots in the second floor lobby.
[17:13] So feel free to be a part.
[17:18] So these are just a couple of examples of pieces that we have right here in City Hall.
[17:28] Our jurors this year, we select a diverse panel of three local visual arts professionals
[17:35] to serve in the jurying process, and we have a new panel each year
[17:39] in order to maintain a mix of artistic perspectives and experience in artwork selection.
[17:45] election. This year, local artists Vino, Rick Nelson, and Stephanie Sandoval will review
[17:54] all submissions and recommend artworks for the 2019 exhibition.
[18:01] Our timeline, which we
[18:03] usually keep on point but it is subject to change, 5 p.m. on October 17th is our application
[18:11] deadline. If you wait until 4.59 p.m. and try to submit, it might not go through, so
[18:19] be sure to get your applications in before then. The call will disappear off the Internet
[18:26] at 5 p.m. and there will be no way to apply after that time.
[18:33] So in late October, early November, the applications are reviewed and the artworks
[18:38] are selected. The show is laid out towards the end of November prior to final review.
[18:45] In early December of this year, the final reviews will take place and we will send notice
[18:50] to all of the applicants. If you receive notice that your work or works were selected,
[18:57] you must confirm receipt of acceptance and give notice of agreement to participate.
[19:02] that will be in the e-mail.
[19:06] January 19th and 20th of 2019 are the days that artists
[19:11] can deliver the selected works.
[19:14] We will not accept the works without the loan agreement,
[19:17] which is to be signed by staff upon delivery.
[19:22] February 22nd of 2019 is our 2019 opening reception
[19:27] here at City Hall,
[19:28] and the show will run from February 22nd, 2019, until January 1st of 2020.
[19:39] For questions regarding this call for artworks, you can always call or email me.
[19:45] We have cards outside the room that have contact information,
[19:48] and when I take you to our website, you'll see that we have links.
[19:53] Also, this is being video recorded, so if you've missed anything,
[19:58] If you weren't able to get here when I started, feel free, you can go online, it should be
[20:05] live in about a week.
[20:12] Applicants will be notified of acceptance, modification, or rejection of their applications
[20:18] by email from People's Gallery at austintexas.gov.
[20:22] Please be sure to add this email address to your safe sender's list to ensure you
[20:27] receive our responses.
[20:29] When the application period has closed, please do not contact staff about the status of your application.
[20:37] We will definitely let you know.
[20:43] And here are just some examples of other works and spaces.
[20:48] This is the atrium, column,
[20:53] and a couple of installation shots of larger scale work.
[20:59] and
[21:03] I am going to go to that computer and I will show you the application system.
[22:05] of art, you can click on it and it will
[22:12] irritate you to an explanation and some links. Firstly,
[22:20] our complete guidelines for the program, which I had mentioned that we exerted from
[22:27] maybe found here. So you can just click on this and when you have time to look at it,
[22:34] please do read it carefully because, again, that is part of the loan agreement.
[22:42] So, when you come to the People's Gallery page, there's a Big Apply Now button,
[22:49] so click on that, and it will take you to the Submitable Calls.
[22:55] Both of them are listed here, and basically both calls are asking for the same information.
[23:03] They are just for separate locations.
[23:07] So if you click on the More button, for the standard call, we have one of the videos that
[23:15] we showed you.
[23:16] It's free to apply.
[23:19] There's a summary, eligibility, application requirements, and these are all things that
[23:28] are also in the call itself.
[23:31] So once we get into the application, I'll go over this information with you.
[23:38] But be sure to read the call guidelines closely.
[23:44] I presented most of this information.
[23:47] So once you look at the guidelines by clicking the more button,
[23:52] you can click that again and it will collapse it.
[23:55] Same thing for install the wall.
[23:58] And here, as I said, we do have the blueprint measurements still free to apply and it just
[24:07] has a summary of the information about the budget for the call and everything else is
[24:13] the same information.
[24:15] So now I'm going to collapse that, whichever call you decide to apply to, you can apply
[24:21] to one or both of them.
[24:24] You would just click the submit button.
[24:26] it opens up the guidelines again and you just scroll to the bottom and it will
[24:38] ask you to create an account so once you click on that all you need is an email a
[24:44] password your first and last name there's no charge to sign up for this and I
[24:51] have an account so I'm going to log in. We're
[25:08] into the system again all of the
[25:13] call information is repeated there's no way to avoid that but now we're into the
[25:20] application which is directly below the guidelines and the asterisked fields
[25:28] are required so we will need your first name and your last name as you would
[25:34] like them displayed in the guides and also on the artwork labels we need your
[25:41] street address city state zip code and county again in order to be eligible to
[25:49] apply you must live or work in one of the counties listed which are Bastrop
[25:54] Blanco Burnett Caldwell Hayes Travis and Williamson if you do not live in
[26:02] one of these counties you are unfortunately ineligible.
[26:08] Again to be eligible you must be
[26:10] at least 18 years of age so you can just click on yes or no. If you live within the city limits
[26:20] we ask for you to provide your council district. If you don't know what your council district
[26:25] number is you can click on this link which takes you to a geolocation
[26:32] website in which you can search for your council district. All you have to do is
[26:38] click on the little button that says I want to. I want to find my council
[26:44] district and
[26:49] I'm going to enter in city halls address click next and
[26:56] it
[26:56] should come up as district nine.
[27:00] So there you go.
[27:01] Once you find what your council district is,
[27:05] you can go back to the application
[27:07] and choose from one to 10.
[27:09] If you do not live in a council district,
[27:12] that's just fine, so long as you live
[27:14] or work out of one of the seven counties.
[27:17] We will ask you if you work for the city of Austin.
[27:21] If you do, please click whether you work
[27:24] economic development or another department. Also required is a day phone
[27:31] number at which we may reach you. We need your email address so that we may
[27:38] contact you with notice and for the website address it is a required field
[27:46] but if you do not have a website address basically if your work is
[27:52] selected, this information will be in our guide and it will be on our labels so that
[27:59] buyers might contact you directly.
[28:02] So if you do not have a website address and want us to list either your Facebook page or
[28:08] email address, whatever is the best way to get to images of your work and contact info,
[28:16] just enter that into this field.
[28:18] Here we have questions that are not required, they're just optional and for
[28:26] internal purposes, they're demographic questions.
[28:34] Here on the left under the
[28:36] required field for resume it tells you the acceptable file types. Here you can
[28:42] upload your resume and please limit it to three pages only. If you do not have
[28:48] a professional art resume, that is fine. Feel free, you can upload a bio or a statement
[28:56] about the series of work that you have, just so that we can have some more information
[29:02] about you.
[29:05] Here's the required artwork file number one. You can upload images or movies.
[29:13] When you upload your file, please be sure that it is in the following format.
[29:21] When you have one art, the first artwork should correspond with zero one, your last name, your first name, and the title of the work.
[29:32] That makes it very useful for us when we're cataloging 1300 images.
[29:40] The image file size should be between 500K and a megabyte for the best quality.
[29:46] If you have a video submission of either a movie you've created, if it's a time-based sculpture or piece,
[29:57] This is where you can upload.
[30:00] Code movie files, but make sure that your video submissions are no longer than three minutes
[30:05] in time.
[30:09] And everything for the first piece of work is a required field, but it's up to
[30:16] you if you want to go further and submit up to five pieces. So you can enter the title
[30:23] of your first work here and a brief statement pertaining to the piece, and that has a limit
[30:32] of 100 words, your artist statement, the title, the medium, the year of completion,
[30:39] all of these will be on your artwork label.
[30:45] And we ask for the final framed dimensions of your 2D work, measuring height by width
[30:51] by depth, delicate two-dimensional works or works on paper should be framed and ready
[30:58] to hang.
[30:59] Canvases do not need to be framed but should be ready to install and we ask
[31:05] that you please do not have sawtooth hangers on the backs of your works. It
[31:10] makes it a lot harder to install. And the reason we're asking for the depth
[31:17] of your 2D work is because as I mentioned before we have some narrow
[31:22] hallways and if you identify whether your piece is five or ten inches deep
[31:29] versus two inches it's a lot easier to design the show with your work in mind
[31:35] in the best place it can be. So for your three-dimensional work please also list
[31:42] the dimensions as height by width by depth. Let us know if this piece is
[31:50] for indoor display, outdoor display, or if it can be used for both.
[31:57] This is not required special installation needs, but it would be helpful for works that
[32:03] have special requirements.
[32:06] So please list how the work is to be installed if you have any special installment requirements
[32:12] or needs.
[32:14] And if a work is to be installed against a wall, please specify whether it's a
[32:19] cleat, d-rings and wire or another alternative,
[32:24] and again, we ask you to please not have sawtooth hangers
[32:27] on your works.
[32:29] The reason we ask for whether your piece has a cleat
[32:32] or d-rings and wire is, again,
[32:35] because we have so many limestone walls,
[32:38] we have a special wire hanging system,
[32:41] so if a piece of yours were to be hung with a cleat,
[32:44] it would not be viable on limestone
[32:47] and would rather have to be against drywall.
[32:50] So the more information you can provide, the better.
[32:54] If you have special maintenance instructions for your work,
[32:58] please tell us how to best care for and maintain it.
[33:03] Here is where you can put in your sale value,
[33:08] insurance and sale value of your work
[33:10] that is required if your work is chosen
[33:13] and you choose to use the city's fine arts and insurance policy we do ensure
[33:20] the works for whatever the insurance sale value is also required is is this
[33:27] work available for sale if it's not for sale just click NFS and this
[33:33] information will be in the guide but on not on the labels if your work is not
[33:39] available for sale in the guide it will say NFS. If it is available for sale it
[33:45] will list your insurance sale value and again we will list your website or email
[33:51] address whichever you prefer in the guide so that prospective buyers might
[33:56] get in touch with you.
[34:00] Basically for artwork files number two through five
[34:04] it is exactly the same but nothing is required of you to fill out.
[34:13] So that's
[34:14] That's basically the nuts and bolts of the system.
[34:16] It's pretty easy and not
[34:30] going to do it.
[34:35] Another thing to mention is that there are postcards outside the room.
[34:41] We have a virtual tour of the gallery that you can view either from home or on your
[34:47] cell phone.
[34:48] It's a web-based browser tour.
[34:50] You can go to AustinCityHall.onsell.com to check out the space.
[34:57] There's a tour of People's Gallery as well as City Hall there.
[35:03] You can click on our Facebook page.
[35:06] Be sure to like us so that you can get updates about the call.
[35:11] And here is Austin Creates again.
[35:14] So when you go into the submission site, we do have a lot of links for you.
[35:19] so that you can find and get in contact with us. Does anyone have any questions?
[35:27] If so, there is a live wireless microphone right here.
[35:33] Danny, if you have questions?
[35:39] Who does the engineering review for pieces that might require that?
[35:44] Who does the engineering review, the building engineer, or if it's a sculpture that has an engineering component?
[35:52] It depends on the jurors and it also depends we don't have an engineer that
[36:00] so wait safety what about the weight limits on the on the wall weight limits
[36:09] on the wall have not been determined yet it is a drywall surface so I would
[36:17] assume that if it had the proper anchoring that it could get fairly heavy, but if that
[36:24] becomes a frequently asked question, I will inquire to see if there are any engineers
[36:30] who can answer that for me.
[36:40] There is, but I'm not sure who the building engineer is.
[36:47] Absolutely.
[36:49] Absolutely.
[36:52] Well, oh, you have a question?
[36:55] Yes, I wanted to know about the time frame for the actual installation on the wall.
[37:00] Is there an amount of time?
[37:04] It would have to be installed once the notice goes out in very early December.
[37:11] The works come in at the end of January and the works would have to be installed
[37:19] before the opening on February 22nd.
[37:23] So there's wiggle room for installation.
[37:31] Well, I guess that about wraps it up.
[37:33] If anyone would like to come take a walk with me to check out the space, I'm very happy to take you.
[37:42] Sure, we have one more question.
[37:49] I was wondering, could you say a little bit about some of the factors that go into how you choose the artist
[37:54] And if you could say a little bit just about maybe the,
[37:59] not the demographics necessarily, but just like the mix of artists you've had in past shows.
[38:05] Well, so far as the mix of artists goes in past shows,
[38:10] we usually have about 50 to 60% new exhibitors to the gallery who are accepted.
[38:17] The way the city chooses the jurors is we look for applicants who are from varied background.
[38:24] who are arts professionals and that's how we chose every year's panelists. We
[38:32] never have the same panelists twice to keep it fair. And does that answer all
[38:40] of it?
[38:46] Yeah this this gallery is a really good launching point for lots of
[38:51] careers. We've helped garner sales and commissions. Some artists go on to have
[38:58] their first solo exhibition at other galleries. We have about 210,000 visitors to the building
[39:06] each year. We have foreign delegates. We have city managers and mayors from other places
[39:15] who come and visit. We have the general public, tourists, and because we'll have
[39:22] all of your information in the guides which are readily available to anyone who would
[39:27] like one, and on your artwork labels,
[39:31] it's just a better possibility for you
[39:33] to really get your information out there
[39:37] and hopefully garner some sales and commissions and shows.
[39:49] Is there a place we can go
[39:51] to see the exhibits of the past, what's been done before?
[39:57] Let me go to Austin Creates
[39:59] and see if it is still up there.
[40:02] Hang on one second.
[40:03] And
[40:09] also I have another kind of two-part question.
[40:12] Sure.
[40:13] So the works that we put on the application, is that what we intend to show?
[40:18] Is that what's going to actually be entered in?
[40:20] Or can we show stuff we've done and then maybe have something new?
[40:23] No, we only take five submissions per applicant,
[40:29] and they would have to be the works that are available for the exhibit.
[40:35] it, you are welcome to draw up proposals. If a proposal is chosen, it's dependent on
[40:43] if you have samples of the work or the completed piece to be installed. So if you were to just
[40:53] give like a history of works that you have done, I suppose you could make that into
[40:59] a document and upload it in the resume field of the application.
[41:07] And let me see if we still have information about prior shows.
[41:15] I think that came down, but I can be sure to have it go back live.
[41:24] But we do have digital catalogs of past shows.
[41:29] Hi.
[41:30] Hi.
[41:30] Any size requirements minimum or maximum?
[41:34] Well, there is no minimum.
[41:36] The maximum is really variable.
[41:39] The largest space we have is the mayor's stairwell
[41:42] for the install the wall call.
[41:45] We have a column over the atrium
[41:48] which can take a pretty large scale work.
[41:52] We have a couple of other areas
[41:54] I can walk you all through to show you
[41:57] what is available.
[41:58] So if you wanted to propose a site specific piece
[42:03] and you have a site in mind,
[42:06] then you could apply that way as well.
[42:08] But the mayor's stairwell is the only area that has a budget.
[42:17] Does anyone else have a question?
[42:35] Me and somebody else wanted to do a piece together.
[42:38] Is that possible?
[42:39] Yes, artist teams are welcome to apply as well.
[42:43] when after you have signed up to get into submitable when you go to the
[42:49] application where you have the first name field and the last name field you
[42:56] could put the first artists first and last name in the top field and the second
[43:01] artists in the bottom field okay and then we could each submit our own stuff
[43:06] if I wanted to, or is it just like one, okay.
[43:08] Yeah, that should be fine.
[43:10] Okay, awesome, thanks.
[43:11] Thank you.
[43:14] Well, if that's it for questions,
[43:16] we're going to wrap this up and take a tour.
