Curated by Abecedarian Artists’ Books, Movable Medley will be on view at Art Students League of Denver in Denver, Colorado September 11 – October 9, 2020

Eligibility and Media
This exhibition is open to any artist 18 years of age or older. If you live outside the United States, please contact gallery for additional submission guidelines. Eligible are any hand-crafted, crowdsourced or SPOD book-works that include moveable components beyond opening the cover or turning the pages. Ineligible are commercially published trade books. Before submitting, please note that works that are larger than 14 inches in any dimension when closed are challenging to display in this venue and may not be accepted on the basis of size alone.

Fees/Submission
Maximum of 2 works may be submitted per artist. Entry fee for this exhibit is $15 for each entry. A discount ($12 per submission) is offered to current members of The Movable Book Society and artists enrolled full-time in a degree program. You needn’t enter your submissions all at the same time. Submission for this exhibition is by file upload only. Each submission must include a minimum of three images and a link to a publicly viewable video of no more than 90 seconds.

Submission fees are not refundable.
Please send gallery-quality images without background clutter or text. DO NOT send composite images or images with embedded text. If your work is accepted for exhibition, the images you submit, along with the text you provide will be used for print & digital publicity. The video is required to give the jurors a view of your work that isn’t possible with still images. A polished, professional video presentation isn’t required although minimizing distracting visual and audio elements is suggested.

Please note that you will not be able to change any information submitted at time of entry, including the price, after the submission process.

Selections will be made by Teresa Burke, Head Librarion and Elliot McNally, Special Collections Librarian at ACA Library of Savannah College of Art and Design, Atlanta.
