It’s been a rough year. One thing that sustains us, no matter how challenging things get, is art.
To celebrate and support the emerging artists in our home territory of Buffalo, NY, the LOSA has created an “Emerging Artists Initiative.”
It’s a simple program: 4 works of original art by an emerging Buffalo artist, and the artist’s bio, are displayed in our beautiful storefront windows on Grant Street. We switch the display every three months (every quarter). And because the LOSA firmly believes that artists should be paid, we pay $300.00 (three hundred) for the right to showcase this work.
To mix things up, we pick a theme each quarter. This January’s theme is something we all need: renewal.
Interested in applying? Please send 4 photos of your work, a bio (required to be considered), complete contact information (phone, address, email) and expression of interest to paralegal Kalin Price at kalin@losapllc.com.
We’ll select the first “LOSA Emerging Artist” by January 22, 2021 (since we can only pick one, all other entrants will be notified by January 23 via email, and invited to try again in April). You get your check when you drop off the display copies of your work.
Who is a Buffalo “emerging artist?” Anyone whose bio shows us a serious commitment to the pursuit of graphic arts, with limited commercial support to date. And you have to live in Buffalo (we love you too, Niagara Falls, but this one’s for the home team).
Not sure how to write your bio? Send us your name, what inspires you, why you have chosen a creative path, and what the work you submitted means to you.
