Art historian and independent curator, Bruce Guenther is currently serving as Adjunct Curator of Special Exhibitions for the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education, Portland. 

A specialist in post-war American and European Art, Guenther was the Chief Curator and Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, Portland Art Museum, Oregon, until his retirement in 2014.

He has curated numerous major monographic and thematic exhibitions internationally, and authored numerous books and exhibition catalogues. Most recently he provided the overview essays for PAPER: Charles Arnoldi (Radius Books, 2017), Michael C.

Application Requirements

REQUIREMENTS:

ENTRY FEE

$30 for two submissions, $14 each additional submission. No detailed images of the same artwork. Submit only one JPEG per artwork (high resolution image). These images will be used to create the print catalog. 

Your entry fee helps to support access to cultural opportunities that are not generally available in small communities with limited resources. Money raised through this call will go towards supporting free children’s art programs, and continued free public gallery access.

MEDIA

All media welcome. Works must be of original design and personal execution and made within the previous three years. Entries must arrive ready to hang.

SIZE 

No piece may be larger than 10 inches x 10 inches x 10 inches, in any dimension, INCLUDING THE FRAME. Each accepted entry must be installation-ready, framed or encased, with appropriate hanging hardware and installation instructions, and clearly labeled with the artist's name and title of the work. Most sculptures will be wall placed on shelves, although some will be displayed on plinths. Test your framing/presentation before sending it. At this size, the presentation of your work is as important as the object, and deserves extra care and consideration.
