Over the next few years, SEPTA will have more than ten Calls for Artists, including six for new stations in West Philadelphia and Millbourne. The Call for Artists is a formal request for professional artists to submit a resume and slides of sample work. A panel then selects as many as five semi-finalists who are paid to create a model of their proposed work.

Each station will have individually selected commissioned original art. Each Call will present an opportunity for working artists to be paid a commission for a public work that will be viewed by the thousands of people who use each station daily.

IF YOU…

are a working artist,

have little or no experience creating public art, and

need to know the process and techniques for submitting a winning response to a Call for Artists.
THIS WORKSHOP IS FOR YOU!

You will:
1. Learn the details of the Call for Artists process, how it works and how you can become a part of it.
2. Get tips and technical advice on low cost ways of presenting your work on slides that are required as part of your submission.
3. Hear artists who have translated their creative ideas into public art discuss and describe the process.
4. Find out how to translate your medium into public art-whether it is water color, oil paint, mosaic tile, sculpture, or most any other form of art.

SEPTA is sponsoring this workshop as part of the community outreach for The El: SEPTA @ Work Market Street Elevated Reconstruction Project. Local artists with and without public art credentials are encouraged to participate. If you are a professional artist, your work can be translated into public art. Come and see how.

A continental breakfast will be available.
