Call for art fall 2017

STEP 2. Answer the following:

What information is found in each of these calls?

each call had: The gallery it was representing, a mission statement, what their exhibition was, what they were looking for, why they were doing it, what content they were after, mediums requested, location of the show, deadlines for submissions, requirements that needed to be met in the submission, and contact information

How is that information organized?

each website had their own format but for the most part the separated each section out with a headliner and highlighted the important information from that section. 

Consider the design choices in each call. Name one positive aspect of each of the call’s organization of information and one negative aspect. How does the design relate to/reflect the content of the call?

1.  Pros: well orginised, clearly hilighted deadline, clear proposal requirements.
Cons : the concept for the art they were calling for was not very clear
2. Pros: very well wrtten mission statement, clear deadline, information about the jurors, clear comunication on the format of submition, submition critereia was very clear and informitive, it didnt leave me with questions. 

3. Pros: provided the nameof the ehibition and what they are hoping to do with the exicution of the flipbooks, information on how the show willl be touring, a spacific guidline on where the contenet is from

cons: the idea of the printed flip book is not clearly communicated, it does not say if the artist has to print the book or if the gallery is going to, it also does not say if the artist has to put their work in a specific format for the gallery to put the flip book together or how the artist would go about doing it independently. I know that it is a call for the art and it wouldn't need to be submitted with the call but knowing the details can be important to the artist.
