pegkerrIf you missed the article in yesterday's Star Tribune, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts is collecting art from ANYBODY who is a Minnesota resident this weekend for their upcoming wildly popular exhibition "Foot in the Door 4," which is held once every ten years. If you bring a piece of art this weekend that fits inside a box 1' x 1' x 1,'(dubbed "the Curator") they'll put it in the exhibition. That's the only requirement. They are also for the first time taking video offerings this year, with the requirement that it be no longer than 80 seconds. The exhibition opens February 18. They are collecting art this weekend, today and tomorrow, 10:30 - 4:30, but be warned: there's about a two and a half hour wait to check your artwork in [Edited to add: At least that's what they told me on the phone, but I just got back from checking in Delia's artwork, and the wait was an hour]. You do get your artwork back when the exhibition is over, near the end of June. They will all also be displaying submitted works on their website, as long as you give your permission.
I went to see the exhibition last decade, and it was utterly cool, one of the best things I've ever seen at the museum. People offered an amazing variety of objects, paintings, drawings, etc., from a kid's folder covered with doodles to the most beautifully intricate sculptures. I'm taking Delia this afternoon to check a piece of her artwork in:
Don't miss this opportunity, both to offer your artwork (and see it displayed! in a real museum!) and to visit the exhibition. Here's the information on the exhibits premiere event:
