Ignite Studio seeks submissions for “Large Format,” our upcoming group exhibition that will showcase oversized art. This exhibit seeks your largest work – show us a time you pushed yourself to take up space. There is no minimum size requirement, just show us YOUR biggest work! We want to fill our walls with big canvases, oversized prints, long tapestries, king-sized quilts. Important: While we do want to see your biggest work, please limit the weight of your hanging pieces to 50lbs or less. Our pedestals for 3D work that can’t rest on the floor are 17”x17”. Deadline to submit is July 16.
Artwork will be displayed at Ignite Studio, in the lower level of the Hamilton East Public Library at: 5 Municipal Drive, Fishers, IN 46038.
