Spirit of wind - submissions



Are you a fan of Studio Ghibli? I have some great news for you, coming summer 2015, there is a tribute show taking place in Southern California hosted by 3tArts , and there looking for submissions!

Art work by Le Tea Leaf
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Information from 3tArts facebook
  • You DO NOT have to submit a brand new piece. We would just like to see a portfolio of things you have done. If you can include some previous Studio Ghibli art, that would be great!
  • That being said, you DO NOT have to have Studio Ghibli fan art in your portfolio! We would much prefer a quality artist with no Studio Ghibli art rather than a mediocre artist with tons of Studio Ghibli art!
  • You DO NOT have to be from California.
  • You MUST be 18+ years of age to participate. We know there are a lot of great younger artists out there but this is to protect us and any legal issues we may run in to.
  • Once you submit, the curators will go over your portfolio and will consider you. ALL 3 curators must agree in order for you to be in the show.
  • We will accept submissions until the end of this year or until the slots fill up. We will remind everyone and let you know the status of the slots.
  • You MUST email your portfolio with [SUBMISSIONS] in the subject line and your artist name
  • PLEASE do send us what BEST represents YOU as an artist
Now that you've read everything through, email us your submission at spiritofthewind2015@gmail.com!

If you have any other questions in regards to this and it's not answered here, please feel free to ask! Thank you!
