Stuff Your Sorries In a Sack
a project about letting go theme: "missed opportunities, apologies, and attachments"[sorry, this project is only open to the US]
380 spots left | 120/500 participants | sign up by 09/15/08
Stuff your baggage in the sack we send you and move on with your life - because this project is all about letting go.
We are donating $1.00 of every entry fee to Hopeline.
We're sending out up to 500 little sacks that we want you to fill with things that you need to get off your chest. We will then be hosting a reception for them at our gallery in Atlanta, Ga where we will put your sacks filled with your old baggage out in the open and let people experience what you have moved on from.
rules & info
Entry is limited to the first 500 people to sign up. Entry fee is $12, which covers the sack, shipping the sack to you, and inclusion into the gallery show. Use the form to the right to pay via PayPal. You DO NOT need a Paypal account to sign up.
When your entry is displayed in the show, it can be completely anonymous. Simply include as little or as much information on the outside of the sack or contents within.
Unfortunately, due to the nature of some of the entries being anonymous, we are not able to return them to you after the show. However, we will be keeping them in our permanent collection at the gallery and also hope to publish many of them in a future book.
Rules
We want you to be as free and open with this project as you want to be, so the only main rule is that you must use the provided sack in some way and that your contents must fit within the sack.
The theme is "missed opportunities, apologies, and attachments", but please take that loosely. There is no restriction or censorship on content.
Agreement
By submitting this form and participating in the project, you give art house the right to use images of your sack and the contents within for any promotional materials and on our websites. Newspapers and other media outlets (including online blogs) are allowed to use images of your entry in promotional material promoting Art House. Art House has the right to publish images of your entry in a book or any other publication medium. Credit to you as the artist will be given in all of the above instances (unless submitted anonymously).
Your work is your work and you retain the rights to it.
