Aviary is for artists of all genres: writers, musicians, game designers, photographers—OMG!
I just got my beta invitation and spent about an hour playing around this morning. The site looks INCREDIBLE.
Don't be intimidated. Aviary was designed to accomodate hobbiests to professionals. It is a "suite of rich internet applications (RIAs) geared for artists of all genres. From image editing to typography to music to 3D to video, they have a tool for everything. Their goal is to create a complex ecosystem for artists and provide the world with free, capable collaborative tools and an approach to collaboration and rights management that will turn the marketplace for online art on its head".
Exhibit Proposal Guidelines
The primary emphasis is the exhibition of contemporary regional art through proposed or invitational one-person, group and juried exhibitions. A secondary emphasis is curatorial exhibitions of works that follow a specific theme from the library’s or other public or private collections. There is no charge for the use of the exhibit space, and no fees will be charged to view library exhibits or displays. All proposals are subject to the approval of the Gallery Manager and gallery staff. If accepted, the artist will supply high-quality, minimum 4" x 6"/300 dpi digital images of artwork included in the exhibit. The Gallery Manager and gallery staff will review proposals. The gallery staff, and when applicable, the artist or collector will install the objects for display. The Gallery Manager and gallery staff determine the exhibit schedule.
Exhibit Proposal:- There is no form required for gallery exhibit proposals.
- Individuals or organizations making application for exhibition of their art are required to submit a portfolio, preferably 12 – 20 images, with an explanation of their collection as it comprises an exhibit.
- Artists are asked to submit a resumé, written record of their exhibitions and awards received, a biography and an artist statement.
- The Library reserves the right to decline, reschedule or postpone exhibits.
