12x12 Artist Invitations:
The purpose of the 12x12 Art Show & Sale is to raise as many funds as possible to support all of OVAC’s programs. It is also a fun event that features visual art sold in an unusual manner. The 12x12 is a fundraiser, not one of OVAC’s open call, representative programs. For this reason, the 12x12 artists are invited by a working group of the 12x12 Committee. OVAC has over 1,000 artist members, but only 150 can be featured in 12x12. The following are the invitation criteria used to recruit artists for the event.
The 12x12 Committee will select new artists based on diversity of media and/or range of styles. New 12x12 artists are selected from the OVAC Virtual Gallery. Artists receiving repeat invitations have a strong history of sales at 12x12 and are still current members of the Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition.
Eligibility:
Artists who are interested in being new participants in the fundraiser and have not been invited need to:
1. Join OVAC.
2. Have artwork on the Virtual Gallery, www.ovacgallery.com.
The 12x12 Committee meets in the late spring each year to send invitations. Artists who turn in work late or do not follow event protocol will not be asked to participate.
