CALL FOR ENTRIES
PromoWest Productions and the Greater Columbus Arts Council would like to welcome Franklin County artists, designers and photographers to submit designs to be one of four pieces featured in the annual PromoWest Art Exhibition. The work will be showcased on the south side of A&R Music Bar in the Arena District (facing Huntington Park and Neil Avenue).
This annual exhibition, a partnership between PromoWest and the Greater Columbus Arts Council’s Art Makes Columbus/Columbus Make Art campaign, celebrates the work of the city’s amazing artists. No other city has this unique collection of creative people. Musicians, painters, sculptors, glass blowers, designers, actors, writers—any creative endeavor that can be thought of is pursued in Columbus we encourage artists to spotlight that passion for creativity through their submission. Four artists’ work will be selected and digitally produced on 5’ x 8’ full color panels.
How does this work?
- Only one design per artist/team is allowed. Previous concert posters for any PromoWest venue or images submitted for the contest last year are not eligible for submission.
- Entries must be submitted online.
- Up to 10 finalists will be chosen by committee of community and Arena District business leaders.
- The public votes to pick the top four designs to be displayed.
- Each of the top four artist designs will receive $500 from the Greater Columbus Arts Council.
