Proposals for InLight Richmond 2012 should involve, be inspired by, investigate, or interpret themes of light, from light as medium to light as concept. Existing work, as well as proposals for new projects, will be considered. 1708 Gallery encourages artists to propose projects that respond directly to the site.
Potential sites for installations and performances include sidewalks, streets and side streets, medians, exterior walls, alleys, parking areas, storefronts, and vacant interiors. Images of the potential sites for installations can be viewed HERE. You may propose a specific site for both pre-existing and site-responsive works. However, 1708 Gallery reserves the right to make final assignments. Please indicate if your work is site-specific on your entry form.
