CALL FOR ARTISTS
Through our Eyes 2012: 20/20 Perfect Vision
Vision is the process of deriving meaning from what is seen. It is more than the concept of visual acuity, clearness of sight, or 20/20 vision. Good vision also involves the ability to analyze and interpret information and to respond to what is being seen; it allows us to understand things that we cannot touch, taste, smell or hear. Vision is the process by which we perceive space as a whole.”
From the American Optometric Association
To mark the twenty year milestone of Jacksonville’s longest running visual art exhibit showcasing new works by local African American artists, Through Our Eyes 2012 will feature twenty artists in the exhibit, “20/20 Perfect Vision”. Opening in the gallery of the Ritz Theatre and Museum on December 13, 2012, the show will run through June 30, 2013.
One of the outstanding characteristics of Through Our Eyes is to encourage artists to create and present fresh, innovative, experimental and non-traditional works that may utilize new media or inventive installation techniques. Any special requirements must be coordinated through the exhibit curator.
All artists who exhibit in Through Our Eyes 2012 are required to participate in the museum’s educational and outreach programs during the exhibit period. Please submit ideas for activities with your proposal (i.e. gallery talk, art class, workshop, demonstration, or other innovative art experience).
Artists wishing to be considered for this exhibit should complete an application, agree to the stated terms and conditions and submit a non-refundable $25.00 application fee.
Contact Exhibit Curator, Lydia Stewart (lstewart@coj.net) or Museum Assistant, Adonnica Toler (atoler@coj.net ) 904-632-5555.

CALL TO PLEIN AIR ARTISTS: Commemorate 450!
Greetings,
The Art Center Cooperative, Inc. has been invited to participate in the Commemorate 450!, 450 Years of French
History in Florida during Jacksonville FRENCH Week – Thursday, April 6 – Sunday, May 6, 2012.
Mayor Alvin Brown is the Honorary Chair of “Commemorate 450!” and everyone is invited to participate in and enjoy the activities now being listed on the City’s site: http://www.commemorate450.coj.net. On May 1, 1562,
French Huguenot Captain Jean Ribault sailed into the mouth of our river, naming it The River of May, and this was the beginning of European exploration and French history in Jacksonville , Florida .
The Art Center is inviting local plein air artists to paint at the Ft. Caroline National Memorial at the Timucuan Preserve on Tuesday, May 1, the day of the rededication of the Ribault Monument . The preserve is open between 9:00 AM -5:00 PM. Those artists who paint are offered to display their one framed painting at our Hogan Street space during downtown Jacksonville Art Walk on Wednesday, May 2.
Artists may set up on the park grounds during normal hours. Room will be extremely limited at the site of the rededication, so the Ribault Monument area will be closed to plein air painters in the morning. The rededication will start at 10:00 AM. Painters may work in the Ribault Column area in the afternoon.
Framed, ready-to-hang paintings are to be delivered to the The Art Center II Studios at 229 North Hogan Street on Tuesday, May 1 between 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM. Paintings will remain on display until Tuesday, May 29th. If you have any questions, please contact Annelies Dykgraaf at amdafricanmk@msn.com .
