Deadline March 24

Artists can get discouraged and their art-making interrupted by practicalities like deadlines, proper studio space, available resources, technology and the biggest heartbreak of all; not enough money. What if an artist was presented with the possibility to create a work of art without these limitations? What if that artist had financial backing, equipment, materials, manpower and experienced technicians ready to take direction and create their vision? What if that artist’s work wasn’t limited by the fact that they live on the planet, Earth, in the year 2014 and are subjected to physical laws?

Art Without Limits: Farther Regions explores what is possible for artists when they are released from practical, economical and physical constraints. What can be accomplished without limitations of natural laws, moral codes or current technologies? Art Without Limits will give artists resources to execute their dream-projects. Artists often create work that is determined by the walls around them. Art making is often a problem that needs to be solved. We would like to solve that problem. You can create art anywhere in the Universe! Show us your gallery inside of a volcano, your sculpture on top of the Great Pyramids, float your work on top of the largest storm in the solar system or Jupiter’s Great Red Spot. Unbound by the physical realities of the here and now, the sky is not your limit!

Earthbound Moon seeks proposals from around the nation for fantastically imaginative and absurdly inventive site oriented artworks to be shown at the Landmark Arts Center at Texas Tech University. You have artistic immunity; you have every resource you need. Indulge us!

The requirements of the Artist proposal are outlined simply as:
1) CV
2) Description of the artwork that can be as long or as short as the artist wishes.
3) Rendering of the theoretical artwork.
4) Return envelope with return postage
No entry fee.

This unrestricted grant is created both to generate and highlight these innovations, and to underwrite the execution of the best idea. We are looking for projects that focus on creating demand for photography and provide a concrete plan to create one-to-one connections between the photographer, the viewer, and the audience.

This is not about making work or exhibiting work – this is about finding an audience and engaging them. So apply! Because $10,000 is a nice chunk of change for being creative.
