The Vanishing Bees
Thank you - this Call To Art is now closed - show opens May 5th, 2012!
Call to Art - ‘The Vanishing Bees’ Please Read all the info.
Show opens Saturday, May 5th, 2012
additionally followed by the Downtown Artwalk on Thursday, May 10th, 2012
Runs through June 1st, 2012
At the Zzyzx Science Gallery within the Hive Gallery in Downtown Los Angeles
729 South Spring Street
LA, CA, 90014
Theme - Why are our bees disappearing at an alarming rate? It’s an issue that can be potentially catastrophic for our food system. Bees not only create a sticky, honey delight for bears and humans alike, but also pollinate almost 100 of our farm produce foods (and many of our native plants too). They may be tiny, but their recent and dramatic decline is a big problem. We may find it’s one thing, but chances are it’s a combination of factors; pesticides, global warming , radiation from cell phone towers, genetically modified food crops …
The Vanishing Bees show is a chance to visually explore the lives of our petite friends.
We currently have 2 smaller walls within the Hive Gallery.
Any medium; paintings, illustrations, etc are OK (but no digital prints ever please, other printing formats welcome, but nothing with editions over 75 - we like things to be very special!). Sorry, nothing too giant, we don’t have a huge space just yet and CANNOT accommodate huge works.
We do not have floor space for pedestals, so YOU will need to supply SMALL shelves if your work is not of the hanging kind.
We will need images of work NO LATER THAN APRIL 23rd, 2012 to be considered for the show.
Please send a high quality image, with the following information;
medium, title, and dimensions for consideration.
You will be notified by April 26th, 2012. If accepted, you will need to be able to drop off ready to hang work at a location near the gallery (by appointment, to be arranged) during the week of April 27th – May 2nd, 2012.
This is a juried show, but there are NO fees to be in the show if accepted, we want to promote art and help artists! Yaaay! Really, there should never be a fee just to participate in a show!

'Creatures from the Black Lagoon'
ART SHOW INFO - PLEASE READ!!!
The theme is the La Brea Tar Pits (our very own Black Lagoon), its supposed to have a science spin and so focusing on evidence of past Los Angeles life that we have dredged up and what may possibly still be down there.
No, its not the actual movie creature :)
Show opens Thursday, Jan 12th , 2012
Zzyzx Science Gallery within the Hive Gallery in Downtown Los Angeles
729 South Spring Street
LA, CA, 90014
Theme - ‘Creatures from the Black Lagoon’ – what came out of the Los Angeles Tar Pits and what is potentially still down there …
We currently have 2 smaller walls within the Hive Gallery.
Any medium; paintings, illustrations, etc are OK (no prints please - no digital prints ever, other printing formats welcome, but nothing with editions over 75 - we like things to be special, very special!). Nothing too giant, we don’t have a huge space just yet and CANNOT accommodate huge works.
We do not have a lot of floor space for pedestals, so YOU will need to supply SMALL shelves if your work is not of the hanging kind.
I will need work BY JAN 11th, 2012. I am in Chinatown, just a few miles from the gallery, and we can probably accept work there too so long as we have notice. Let me know when you have work, and we can schedule drop-off times.
There are NO fees to be in the show, we want to promote art and help artists! YAAAAAY!
Really, there should never be a fee just to participate in a show!
You may have your work up just for show, or FOR SALE, your choice. You set your own price (commission runs from 5% to cover fees, up to 20% if the Hive Gallery runs the sales directly, but probably on the lower end, so just include that in your asking price)
Please make work APPROPRIATE TO THE THEME (really, I have gotten some off topic things before and I wouldn't want to say no :( Check out www.tarpits.org for some inspiration and really cool facts about prehistoric Los Angeles
Artwork must be READY TO HANG, or you must supply a shelf, etc, if needed.
PLEASE CONFIRM if you would like to be in the show and send PICS or DETAILS so I can plan the space.
PLEASE OPEN THE ATTACHED PDF - YOU WILL FIND TWO PAGES;
A simple artist waiver form
An artwork submission sheet
PLEASE make sure to fill BOTH of these out for submitted artwork.
This science related show will be running for 2 months, and opening during the almighty Downtown Artwalk, so tons of traffic (average of around 30,000 visitors on Artwalk night alone and this show will be up during 2 of those)
Yaaaaay - that's it now make some art!
Please let me know if you have any other questions and pass the info on to other art friends!

You may have your work up just for show, or FOR SALE, your choice. You set your own price (commission runs from 5% to cover fees, up to 20% if the Hive Gallery runs the sales directly, but probably on the lower end, so just include that in your asking price)
Please make work APPROPRIATE TO THE THEME (really, I have gotten some off topic things before and I wouldn't want to say no :( Check out www.tarpits.org for some inspiration and really cool facts about prehistoric Los Angeles
Artwork must be READY TO HANG, or you must supply a shelf, etc, if needed.
PLEASE CONFIRM if you would like to be in the show and send PICS or DETAILS so I can plan the space.
PLEASE OPEN THE ATTACHED PDF - YOU WILL FIND TWO PAGES;
A simple artist waiver form
An artwork submission sheet
PLEASE make sure to fill BOTH of these out for submitted artwork.
This science related show will be running for 2 months, and opening during the almighty Downtown Artwalk, so tons of traffic (average of around 30,000 visitors on Artwalk night alone and this show will be up during 2 of those)
Yaaaaay - that's it now make some art!
Please let me know if you have any other questions and pass the info on to other art friends!
Thanks! Monster Kat
