We're in the process of putting together a 3 year BECA history compilation and we're seeking to include a few quotes, feedback, comments and side notes from past exhibiting artists, architects, designers, past viewers, visitors, curators, critics, jurors, voters and debaters.  If you'd like to contribute your past BECA experiences and memories or recommendations/words of wisdom regarding BECA programming as we enter 2011, please feel free to email them here.  We anticipate releasing it around the beginning of February. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Dec. 31 deadline approaching for Lab A.D. registration: Open to all artists, architects + designers at least 18 years of age residing in any country The 2nd annual BECA Foundation non-juried, open-registration, international exhibition of art + design.  Registration is open until allocated spaces are full or December 31, 2010, whichever comes first.  You may register to secure your space for either pre-existing work or for new work created after you register, as long as your work arrives at the exhibition space no later than January 17, 2011. The purpose of this non-juried experimental, group exhibition is to further broaden exhibition opportunities and to discover and highlight new approaches by emerging contemporary artists, architects + designers as well as those who are more established but are stretching their work into unfamiliar territory.  This exhibition provides an open opportunity in which to experiment freely without judgement. Registration is limited but guarantees exhibition. The Lab AD exhibition is modeled after last year’s non-juried, experimental, open exhibition titled, 12x12x122.  It was one of BECA’s most successful exhibitions to date in terms of attendance and online viewing.  This Lab AD call to artists, architects + designers guarantees exhibition of their work to all those who are registered.  For Lab AD, we have made an effort to broaden the variety of acceptable works (including 2-D, 3-D and video) but with limited space we are only able to allocate a limited amount of size categories and all will be registered on a first come, first served basis. All registered artists, architects + designers will have their works exhibited from February 4 – 18, 2011 at New Studio A.D. located at 312 Rosemont Ave NE, Albuquerque, New Mexico. There will be both an opening reception held on Friday, February 4, 2011 from 5 – 8pm during Albuquerque’s First Friday ArtsCrawl and also a closing reception held on Friday, February 18, 2011 from 5 – 8pm during Albuquerque’s Third Friday Downtown ArtsCrawl. There will be 20 artists, architects and/or designers selected from those exhibiting to have their works featured online at www.BECAICAD.org. Works are not required to conform to any particular medium, style, theme or concept.  Please download complete prospectus at: http://www.becaicad.org/artist-designer-submissions.php   __________________________________________________________________________________________   If you're seeking additional information about BECA: Bridge for Emerging Contemporary Art, please visit: http://www.becaicad.org/about.php If you want to know about current BECA artist, architect + designer exhibition opportunities, please visit: http://www.becaicad.org/artist-designer-submissions.php If you'd like to support BECA programming in any number of ways, please visit: http://www.becaicad.org/easy-ways-to-support-beca-programming.php ___________________________________________________________________________________________ This BECA e-news is sponsored by: A year-round centralized, international online STUDIO SALE space.
