ELIGIBILITY:
The NoBo Art District Group Show is open to all members in good standing, (up to date on your dues) as of December 31, 2016. Only one piece per artist or per collaboration. Please submit your best work. 2-D or wall art is limited to a maximum width of 32”. Due to our large membership, (160+) and limited space, we have an initial cap at the first 100 artists responding, we will create a waitlist and make every effort to include everyone.

THEME:
Our 7th Annual NoBo Art District Group Show promises to be the best one yet. This year’s theme is, “Looking for Common Ground: A Collaboration”. The Boulder Public Library, Canyon Gallery is the venue for the show, hosted by the NoBo Art District. The theme acknowledges the eclectic variety of creative expression, the uncertain, changing times we live in and the desire for connection or common ground. 

The show will run for 6 weeks, with an opening reception on the evening of Friday, February 24th, 2017. Several performance events are scheduled across those 6 weeks. These will feature NoBo Art District Visual Artists, Theater and Spoken Word performances, music, dance, artist talks and demos.

We hope this show inspires some collaborative works amongst our artists, however it is not limited to collaborative work. 

INSTALLATION: A NoBo Art District committee will handle installation. All wall work must be wired to work with the Library hanging system, NO SAWTOOTH HANGERS ALLOWED. We have several pedestals of various sizes if needed for 3-D work. We can also hang work from the ceiling, (consider activating the ceiling space with your work!).

SALES & FEES: Sales are handled directly by the artists. The NoBo Art District takes no sales commission. There is no fee to participate. The NoBo Art District will very gratefully accept any donations offered to help defray exhibit costs. 
Artists must sign an artist agreement release & inventory form when they drop off work AND sign up for a volunteer job to contribute in some way (hosting, gallery sitting, PR, providing food, help with art drop-off and pick-up, etc.)
