Submission Guildelines and Technical Specifications
In order to encourage artists from diverse media to apply, the final commission will be digitally enlarged and applied to an exterior public wall via a UV protected print. As an artist, you may fabricate your artwork any size that is relevant to your practice, as long as it may be photographed and/or digitally enlarged, should your work move to the finals. The Gallery @ GCC will provide ample technical support for the final installation.
Dimensions for your mock up
Three locations have been identified on campus, and you may choose the aspect ratio you'd prefer. The location you choose will not impact the success of your application. Your mock up should be designed to ONE of the following dimensions:
NOTE: Site 2 is a clocktower. Artist may choose to design only on the face of the clocktower, or to create an image that wraps to three sides of the tower.
Notes for artists designing digitally
If your submission is designed digitally, it's likely best to build your original file ready-for-print. In this case, we recommend designing to 25 inches on the longest dimension at 300 dpi, or 1 in::1 ft at 300 dpi. Please only submit a reduced-size jpg for your applicaiton, as per the instructions above.
