Kuna Arts and History Center’s Call to Artists

By Events, Exhibits

Dear Idaho Watercolor Society members, the following call to artists was received from the City of Kuna Arts & History Center Curator. A link to the Call to Artists Packet Application is at the bottom of the announcement.

 

Hello,
My name is Leah Torres, I am the Curator for the Kuna Arts and History Center. The Center opened on March 13th of this year and is home to new art and historical exhibits every quarter, an art gallery, and a media room with books and documents available for research. We want this space to be a bastion of arts and history in Kuna, and so I wanted to reach out because we recently released a Call to Artists for exhibitions! There are opportunities for solo, organization, or group shows at the Center and I am looking to disseminate the information packet and application in case some members or your organization would be interested in submitting work. I have attached the information packet and application in this email for convenience. We are accepting applications and all supplementary materials via email, mail, or in person to the City of Kuna Clerk’s office and/or the Kuna Arts and History Center. To be considered for our next quarterly exhibit opening August 21st, submissions would need to be in by July 25th at 5:00PM, but submissions will still be accepted on an ongoing basis for later shows afterwards.
I am just looking to reach out and start a relationship with artists and artist organizations so that the community can get involved and experience the arts, as well as offer an opportunity to artists to display their artwork. If this is something the Idaho Watercolor Society or its members are interested in, please let me know! Thank you so much for your time.
I look forward to hearing from you,

Leah Torres

Annual Juried Exhibition Participants and Idaho Power Sponsorship

By Annual Juried Exhibition, Events, Exhibits

Greetings Annual Show exhibitors:

We are pleased to announce that Idaho Power is again interested in sponsoring the purchase of a painting for their collection.  I have negotiated a (tentative) offer of $800 for the purchase of your painting by Idaho Power, should you choose to participate.

In 2019, this sponsorship was $600.

To understand this properly, your painting priced at $1100 would, after commission to IWS and the Water’s Edge Gallery would net $715.  This is after considering your painting may not sell at all.

A guaranteed price of $800 may be of more value to you than a hopeful asking price of $1500.

We do not deduct an IWS commission from this sale, and since it’s not driven by the venue, the Water’s Edge Gallery is excluded from commission in this sale.  You would receive the entire $800.

The sooner we hear from you on your willingness to participate, the sooner we can ink this proposal with Idaho Power.  Please get back directly to Scott Muscolo 805-795-0252 or at scottmuscolo@gmail.com to confirm your participation.

Thank you!

2024 Annual Show Exhibitors – Where and When to Deliver Paintings

By Annual IWS Location, Annual Juried Exhibition, Annual Show Location, Events, Exhibits

Hello 2024 Annual Show Exhibitors:

As a reminder, Friday, April 26 is the date for delivering your painting(s) to the Riverside Hotel, 2900 W Chinden Blvd, Boise, 83714.  For your convenience, the easiest place for you to bring it to the hotel is the “Sapphire Room” entrance at the southwest corner of the hotel.

As you enter there, the Emerald and Garnet rooms are to the left, where we’ll be accepting the paintings.

Please drop off your painting between 9:00-11:00 AM.  Sandra Davis from the hotel and I will be there to accept your paintings.  Please have already delivered your completed Water’s Edge Gallery agreement (attached again for your convenience) to me via snail or email.

So far, in addition to the 65 paintings accepted into the exhibit, we have 19 non-juried paintings hanging.  This will be a great exhibit!

Thank you,

Scott Muscolo, 2024 IWS Annual Juried Exhibition Chair
