Simply Elemental 2021, the annual outdoor art exhibit of the Hahn Horticulture Garden (HHG) integrated along the garden paths, plantings, and trees within the garden, has issued a call for artists.
Artists, groups of artists, art teachers, and students working in any media are invited to submit a proposal with a conceptual design for consideration by a jury.
Because this is an exhibit of relatively short duration, materials used in the pieces can be non-permanent but need to hold up for a minimum of 8 weeks.
The deadline for submission is Thursday, April 15.
The HHG art committee will review the submissions April 15 through May 1. The artists will then be notified of their acceptance on May 1.
The exhibits will be installed the week of July 26 with installations scheduled to allow for social distancing.
A prize will be awarded for the Best in Show as determined by a judging committee. This will be the first year that a Best in Show Award is given.
Pieces in the exhibit will be selected using the following guidelines:
The piece uses the garden setting to advantage. It makes a strong visual impact. It is not harmful to the horticulture garden and its plants. It is appropriate to a family-friendly setting. It requires no maintenance during the exhibit. It installs in a secure manner. It is safe for the public. It leaves no permanent impact on the garden
