CALL FOR ENTRY

METALmorphosis: The Art of Transformation

 

 

METALmorphosis: The Art of Transformation is a national, open-call show highlighting the amazing qualities of metal in all its forms—a sheet of silver, an ingot of gold, steel wire, or any other type of metal. Through a variety of processes and repetition, there is a transformative experience that requires attention from the artist, unique to the field of metals.

​

In partnership with the Colorado Metalsmithing Association (CoMA), The Art Students League of Denver (ASLD) invites all artists working in metals to participate. The entry fee of $40 will apply to all artists submitting work who are not current members of CoMA. Active members of CoMA may submit work to this show at a discounted price using the access code provided to you by CoMA. If you are not a current member of CoMA we encourage you to become a member HERE. Please submit no more than 3 pieces for jurying. You may enter a set as one item if they are being sold as a set, not individually. For example, you may enter a pair of earrings, a necklace, and a bracelet as your three entries or you may enter earrings, a necklace, and a bracelet together as one entry to be sold as a set. Sculptural work and wearable work will be considered if they are made of 60% metal.

​

For any questions or concerns regarding the submission process, please refer to the listing at callforentry.org or contact Holly K. Hurd, Community Engagement & Exhibitions Manager at h.hurd@asld.org or call (303)778-6990 ext. 1108.
