2010 AICUO Award for Excellence in the Visual Arts

Heads up all sculptors and artists interested in designing an award for AICUO’s (Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Ohio) yearly honor. What they’re looking for, from the horse’s mouth:

1) The AICUO Award: Given to the Grand Award winner only. It should be the largest award.
2)The finalists’ award: Given to the five finalists. This should be smaller. It should be a variation of the AICUO Award.
3) The People’s Choice Award: Should be different from the other two designs, but a cohesive piece to the awards as a whole.
How it works: You design three awards, submit sketches/drawings, and if your design is chosen we will have it created by a local artist. Your signature will be on the awards as well as us highlighting that it is your design during the awards reception.
Who can enter: Any student! Not just Seniors!
All entries must be submitted by January 12, 2010 and can be sent via email to cmartin@aicuo.edu with the subject “AICUO Design Competition” or via mail to:

Call for artists: the Sculpture Center

The Sculpture Center is looking for artists to submit new work for its annual juried exhibition of small sculpture. The Center’s call ends March 31 and is looking for work made within the past 3 years that has not been shown before in Northeast Ohio. Each artist can submit up to 3 pieces.

The theme of this annual juried show is “On a Pedestal and off the Wall,” and is open to sculptors in all media. The work could be shown on the wall, pedestal, monitor, floor, or suspended, depending on what you need. This year’s juror will be the Gregory Amenoff, a painter and chair of the Visual Arts at Columbia University.

Go to the sculpture center’s website for details. You may also email or call them (Ann Albano, at 216-229-6527).
