CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
AMP:CONNECT in San Francisco
On Saturday, February 27, AMP will present AMP:CONNECT in Downtown San Francisco at Meridian Gallery.
This event will bring together a group of Bay Area grass roots arts organizations for an evening of networking with local creatives.
San Francisco Bay area AMP members are invited to submit art, performance proposals, and short films for the event. If you submit visual art, you must be available to install your work between 6:30 and 7:30 pm on February 27, must attend the event, and must remove your work between 12 midnight and 1 am that same night (not before or after). Deadline for submissions and proposals is 5 pm on Sunday, February 14.
We would love it if your work could somehow address the event’s theme of Connecting.
To submit visual art, send a .jpg image, with dimensions and media used, to pluginamp@gmail.com.
To propose a performance, email pluginamp@gmail.com with details. Musicians should send an audio file attachment. Dancers and other performers should send at least an image, though film or video in some format would be welcome.
To submit a short film, you must be able to either provide a link to the film online, or attach the film to an email. Films should be no longer than 15 minutes long; shorter is better.
Everyone who attends this fundraising event, including exhibiting artists, filmmakers, and performers, will donate $10 to AMP. Exhibiting artists, filmmakers, and performers will be linked in the email invitation and on AMP’s website.
The event is being curated by AMPers Chiara Viscomi and Elisabeth Friedeman, with direction from Los Angeles by AMP Executive Director Terri Anderson.
Meridian Gallery
“A commitment to nonviolent social change and to the inherent value of diversity has animated the SAPA (nonprofit parent of Meridian Gallery) since it began in 1986. Initially dedicated to breaking down racial, cultural, economic and geographic barriers through the arts, Meridian Gallery rapidly began to move into its purpose – to embody change – and as it moved, to assume a tangible responsibility to explore issues and to make spaces where youth and adults could access experientially a widening of the possible.
The Society for Art Publications of the Americas and its Meridian Gallery increases social, philosophical and spiritual change among previously isolated individuals and communities. Society for Art Publications of the Americas is the title selected in 1985 for the 501(c)(3) non-profit whose programs bear the name “Meridian” to signify hemispheric, geographical and cross cultural concerns: Meridian Gallery (1989), Meridian Interns Program (1996) and Meridian Music: Composers in Performance (1998).” (from Meridian Gallery’s website)
