Presented by Baltimore Sculptors Inc. in collaboration with the James L. Pierce Fine Art Framing and Gallery at Green Spring Station, 2360 W. Joppa Road, Lutherville, MD 21093

About the Exhibition

Genesis is an ongoing collaboration between Baltimore Sculptors Inc., the James L. Pierce Gallery and Green Spring Station (Foxleigh Management). The Call is open to all sculptors who are, or become members of Sculptors, Inc. and to non-members who pay a $35 fee (see “Eligibility” below.) There is no required theme or size restriction.

Artists are encouraged to submit outdoor work that will be displayed in open areas throughout this prestigious shopping area. Green Spring Station serves as the north gate to Baltimore’s premier communities. The exhibition duration will be eleven months beginning in early September and will consist of two categories: the first is an exhibition of larger OUTDOOR works installed either on cement pads or directly on the ground. The outdoor work will be displayed in select garden locations around the mall exterior and along a stream in a semi-wooded open area of about a quarter acre. New cement pads for work will be arranged as needed.

The second category of works for the exhibition will be mounted within the open but covered INTERIOR of the shopping area. The mall interior offers broad promenades and many blank brick walls that can accommodate larger single works or multiple smaller pieces. Wall space varies from 9 feet in height and 15 to 20 feet in width to 13 feet in height by 21 feet in width. Both floor and wall-hung works will be considered for the interior spaces, but all must be compatible with the pedestrian flow of a public space. Entries must be existing works. Design proposals or maquettes are ineligible. (Note: Artists who submitted jpegs previously that were not selected are encouraged to resubmit those works for this Call.) The works submitted should be child-friendly and touchable. They must be durable and able to withstand the natural elements. It is highly recommended that artists visit the site to understand fully the diversity of available exhibition spaces and installation requirements. Images of Greenspring Station’s interior and exterior can be viewed at www.sculptorsinc.org .The final location of each work will be at the discretion of the exhibition committee.
