Year of Resistance 2017: Artists Moved to Action
A book of resistance art by Michigan women artists in 2017
Call for ART:
During a year of political turmoil, there has been an outpouring of fierce new expression. For this book project, the Women’s Caucus for Art Michigan Chapter will gather a collection of work from women artists in Michigan to commemorate this activity. Each artist will have a set format of one 11” high x 14” wide page to fill with work – painting, sculpture, writing, poetry, photography or multimedia – anything that can be clearly represented in digital photographic form. The work should have been made in 2017.
Calendar:
- Emailed images and entry fee due – January 5, 2018
- Notification of acceptance – January 12, 2018
- Book checks due – January 20, 2018
- Book completed – February 1, 2018

Entry Fee (Non refundable):
$15 for up to 2 works (only one work will be accepted from each artist) for members of the Women’s Caucus for Art Michigan, the Ann Arbor Women Artists and the Detroit Society of Women Painters and Sculptors.
$20 for non-member Michigan women artists.
Mail entry check to: Brenda Oelbaum, 9949 Huron Creek Drive, Dexter, MI, 48130
Artwork and entry fee due: January 5, 2018

Guidelines for Entry Submission:
- Enter a digital PDF, TIF, or JPG. RGB color mode is best, size 11.25” high x 14.25”wide (includes bleed), horizontal (it can be larger, in the same proportions, but not smaller) at 300 dpi.
- Include all text on the artwork or in the submission – anything you want to include such as your signature, title of the piece, date, and any statement you wish to make. If you don’t want to include any text that’s fine, too. No extra text or artist information will be added to your page. The text should be incorporated into your image. If you hand-write or print your text, please make it large enough to be legible.
- EDIT YOU OWN TEXT! Check spelling, numbers, dates and all information. We will not be able to edit your text.
- How to format your work: draw a horizontal rectangle 11.25”high x 14.25”wide and fit your artwork and text into the rectangle. Pin the paper to a wall, light the work, and take a high resolution (300 dpi), well focused photo of the rectangle. Or best of all, get a professional photograph of your work. This is highly recommended to have a reproduction of printable quality in the right proportions. If you have trouble formatting your work, email mparkerst@gmail.com for help.
- Submission fee: $15 for members of the WCAMI, AAWA and DSWSP. For all non- members, submission fee is $20. DUE by January 5, 2018.
