The 60/40 Series presents: Outspoken, a benefit for BikePGH

Artists! Submit up to 4 works (at least one bike related) to this April art show in the Cultural Trust!  Sales will be split 60/40 between the artists and BikePGH!

Here’s the call-out and information from the 60/40 Series folks who are organizing the show:

Our goal is to inspire and subsequently tap into the creativity of local artists in accordance with Bike Pittsburgh’s vision of establishing our city as increasingly safe, accessible, and friendly to bicycle transportation. All art work that results from the culmination of our collective efforts will be displayed and offered for sale to the public at large during the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust’s Spring Gallery Crawl on April 29, 2011. Outspoken will be taking place in a space donated to us by the Trust at 805/807 Liberty Avenue in the heart of the Cultural District. Proceeds from all art sales will be split between the individual artists and BikePGH, 60/40, respectively.

Call for submissions: We are seeking contributions of original works of two- and three- dimensional design. Artists may submit up to 4 pieces, of which 1 must be bicycle themed. Limited series prints are also welcomed. Show space will be designated on a first submitted, first placed basis. All submissions will be previewed and offered for sale online at http://www.sixtyfortyseries.com leading up to the show on April 29th, 2011.

Deadline for commitment to the Outspoken show is April 14th, 2011, by which point a description of the proposed submission with accompanying .jpg/sketch/draft along with name, email, and phone # should be sent to: submissions@sixtyfortyseries.com

Deadline for submissions to Outspoken is April 21st, 2011. Framed, finished works, fully ready to be hung and/or displayed should be delivered to the location as indicated in the commitment email.
