Exhibition - Call for Art

• You must be a LMA member in good standing.  The requirement of attending two (2) meetings in 12 month period has been reinstated.  All other requirements apply.  For information about how to become a member, visit the "Join LMA" page. 

• ONLY WORKS THAT HAVE BEEN CREATED WITHIN THE LAST 3 YEARS AND HAVE NOT BEEN PREVIOUSLY EXHIBITED IN ANY OTHER LMA SHOW WILL BE CONSIDERED.

The League of Milwaukee Artists seeks works of art for a juried show at the Art Bar, located at  718-732 E. Burleigh St., Milwaukee. The show is inclusive of all members, but entries will still be juried. Each member can submit up to three entries, and 45 pieces will be selected for the show. The theme for the show is "Warm Inspirations" to warm us up from the winter outside!

Online submission Deadline will be midnight, December 20th.

• Artists will be notified by email which of their piece(s) are selected.  

• All Minzlaff will jury the show and will decide on awards.

• Maximum size is 3' x 3' and includes 3D entries, but they must be hangable and less than 12" deep.

• Delivery Date:  January 4th or before, Don Krause, the owner of the Art Bar, will decide where the art is placed. Since this is a bar, nudes are acceptable.

• All works must be framed or properly finished if gallery-wrapped and wired for hanging with the center's hanging system. For larger and heavier works, the gallery recommends additional hanger D-rings attached about 3" from the top of the painting on the left and right side of the frame to allow for proper hanging.  For safety reasons, your work should not protrude more than 12" from the wall when hung.

The Awards for the show will be from the LMA.

• Best of Show – $150.00

• First Place – $100.00

• Second Place – $75.00

• Third Place – $50.00

• Honorable Mention – $25.00

The Opening Reception will be on Friday, January 10th, at 6:00 p.m. The award presentation will take place at the reception. Since this is a bar/restaurant, there will be no hors d'oeuvres or wine. You may want to have dinner/drinks earlier(the bar opens at 3:00 p.m.). Since 6:00 p.m. is a busy time for the Art Bar, we will find a "quiet space" to announce the awards.

The Art Bar will generate show labels based on the information from your application.

Please ensure the following information is on your application.

Artist Name  :

Title of work :

The Art Bar will retain 20% of the price before tax, and the artist will receive 80% before tax. The buyer will pay tax to The Art Bar at the time of purchase. After the show is over, The Art Bar will pay each artist.

Your original submission should include an artist statement about yourself and your work. Artist statements should be in PDF format.

The pick-up date will be after/including February 19th through the 24th (3:00 pm to 1:30 am).
