[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.
