Arts in Nature calling for artists and performers for August event
Mon, 01/30/2017
The annual celebration at Camp Long called Arts in Nature is seeking some new blood this year and has issued a call for artists and performers to join the event Aug. 26th and 27. The event is presented by the Delridge Neighborhood Development Association and the Nature Consortium.
From the application announcement:
"Musicians, performers, theater and dance troupes are wanted for all stage areas including the Lodge, at the Pond and in the Meadow. (Performances at the pond must be acoustic and unplugged, though you may bring your own small battery-powered amp.) Last year, performers ranged from the Big World Breaks band to Etienne Capko to the Ricky Gene Puppet Show! Artist fees are $100 per performer per 45-60 minute performance with a cap of $350 per group.
Visual Art Installation
Sound and multimedia artists can apply to create weekend-long visual art installations in eight rustic cabins scattered throughout Camp Long. Installations must be open and staffed from 11am – 7pm on Saturday, 8/26 and 11am – 6pm on Sunday, 8/27. Installation set-up hours will take place Friday, 8/25 from 11am – 8pm and Saturday, 8/26 from 8am – 11am. Artist fees are $300 for the weekend. Artists are welcome to spend the night in their cabin Friday and Saturday night.
From installation artist Holli Margell: “As an artist, it provided me with a venue to showcase a full-sensory celebration of trees that included a cabin full of freshly-cut tree boughs accompanying recorded bird songs and nature portraits.”
