Application Process

Guidelines For Submission Of Work
Please submit 7-10 images in Power Point on a CD or slides of the finished body of work, etc. This work should form a cohesive whole and should have a concept or theme that unifies it intellectually. It should also be unified visually, with attention paid to how the form and/or the process support(s) the concept or idea put forth in your Artists’ Statement.

Things to avoid:
1. Sending work in different media, unless that work is clearly and coherently related both in idea and form.
2. Sending unrelated work from various class projects.
3. Creating an artist’s statement that doesn’t fully explain your concept or leaves questions as to what you are doing and why.
4. Creating an artist’s statement that does not seem related to the work.
5. Sending uneven or unedited work; that is, some pieces are very good and others are not well done or well crafted; or three pieces seem to go together visually and/or intellectually and two do not.

Installations
If you intend to do an installation, you MUST send slides or images on PowerPoint of some of the finished work for the installation and a complete, clear and understandable explanation of what you intend to do (exceptions noted below). You also need to provide details on exactly what process/methodology you will use, what the form of the installation will be and what the point or idea of the installation is and how the form/process supports it. You also need to provide detailed drawings.

For all applicants work submitted should be created and produced at Appalachian State University.
