“Art of Politics”
Exhibit at BoMA
October 22, 2008 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm

How to Apply
• Read this document in its entirety.
• Submit digital images of up to (3) entries (jpeg or tiff formats).
• One detail shot per entry is required and allowed.
• Provide artist’s name, and title, medium and dimensions of each submission.
• Submit digital images by e-mail by 5:00 pm on Friday October 17, 2008

Donations
Artists are asked to donate 50% of the sale of their political art to help elect Barack Obama. Each artist who sells their artwork at the exhibit will be asked to write a personal check to “Campaign for Change” which is Obama’s state level campaign. The checks will be collected by the exhibit coordinator. BRING YOUR CHECKBOOKS!

Requirements
• Price your work with the understanding that you will be donating 50% to the Obama Campaign.
• Because this is an exhibit to show our support for Obama and the fact that possibly youth will be attending the event, art should be appropriate for this venue.
• The exhibit review panel reserves the right to refuse to display any accepted work for any reason.
• Since the works will not be hung on walls, it will be necessary for each artist to provide their own easel for each art work (if this presents a problem, contact us). Artists submitting art that will not require easels such as sculptures will need to designate the amount of space required for their art and provide pedestals if necessary.
• All entries must be original works created by the artist.
• The exhibit review panel will bar all works altered from the submitted digital images.
• Reasonable care will be exercised by the “Art of Politics” Exhibit for Obama coordinators and its agents, but the exhibit coordinators or its agents are not liable for loss or damage of work either in its care or during transport. Insurance is the responsibility of the individual artists.
• Submission of an entry through emailing a jpeg or tiff of the art shall constitute agreement on the part of the artist to all conditions set forth in this prospectus.

Delivery and Pick Up of Art

Broad St., Columbus, Ohio. Upon delivering artwork each artist will be required to sign a form restating the above requirements.
