In the spirit of experimentation of the 2007 Wings to the Spirit Conference, this year we are trying a new way of displaying the work of Bahá'ís who are visual artists. In seeking to:
1) show the best examples of work that aims to promote the principles and teachings of the Bahá'í Faith and to inspire transformation and healing in others;
2) include a greater number of artists' works from outside the region;
3) begin compiling a record of work by Bahá'ís working as visual artists;
4) prevent incurring great shipping and insurance charges, we have decided to present the works in digital and photographic form. If you are interested in helping us with this project the cost will be minimal and you will be part of what we hope will be an ongoing record of the visual arts as they develop in the Bahá'í world.
We ask that by the April 1st deadline you please send to:
Wings to the Spirit Visual Arts Display
113 Baybridge Drive
Gulf Breeze, Florida 32561
1) A CD of 1-5 professional quality, high resolution images of your best work that relates to your efforts to incorporate Bahá'í principles and teachings in visual form
2) An 8" x 10" high quality print on photo paper of one best work of your choice
3) A one page (or less) artist statement (in 12 pt type) about you and your work
4) A list of the works included on your CD, clearly identifying each image. Please include: title, size, medium, year.
5) Your name, mailing address, email, phone #s, and the best way and time to contact you
By sending these images you are agreeing that:
1) They may be used in a slide/powerpoint presentation during the conference and in a gallery on the Wings to the Spirit website after the conference.
2) They may be compiled and displayed in an open book of images alongside your artist statement
3) If chosen, they may be printed in enlarged format, matted and displayed at the 2008 Wings Conference Wings will be responsible for displaying and properly crediting your images to you. If any further use is sought, a representative of Wings will contact you for permission.
