Artists, poets and photographers will get the chance to enter in Sinclair’s Art club 2015 calendar competition.
Sara Sadri, Sinclair student and art club member, said the contest is much more than just a competition to showcase art.
“The purpose of the Calendar Contest is to provoke the many students of Sinclair to not only appreciate, but participate in what their fellow students are doing artistically,” Sadri said. “There is so much talent in our community, and we want to open up the value of the world of art, right here in our school.”
Sadri said the art club is focused on showcasing and sharing a variety of artwork within the community.
“As a club, we see the possibilities of the students and faculty of our tight-knit community, and we are looking to open up any and every opportunity to those who are looking for it,” Sadri said. “Each one of our events is to encourage the public to share in their arts, and appreciate the arts of others. We are here to assist in achieving what you want, as well as support it.”
This is the first year the contest will be held.
“We hope that people will carry this opportunity on for their future students to enjoy as well,” Sadri said.
Each of the 12 winning entries will receive prizes for their work. It is required that all entrants are either a student, or faculty member of Sinclair. Artwork, poems and photographs may be submitted electronically in a .jpeg or .jpg file, and may not exceed 700k. Entrants must submit their work by midnight on November 21 to be considered for the competition.
“People may enter as many pieces as they like, so long as each entry is identified with a particular month of the year. Only Sinclair students and faculty may participate in this event,” Sadri said.
Applications and entries should be emailed to sinclairartclub@gmail.com.
Each winner will receive a personal email by November 28 at midnight. Winners will be posted online at facebook.com/SinclairCCArtClub.
Alongside the calendar competition, the art club is also hosting a poetry reading event. Students and faculty have the opportunity to come learn about different styles of poetry, and are encouraged to write their own work. The event will be held on November 10 in Building 2 room 334 from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
“There will be a final Poetry Reading event, where we inspire people to perform their own poetry in front of like-minded artists,” Sadri said.
The final poetry reading will be held on November 20 at 6:00 p.m., in the Black Box Theater in Building 2.
We urge anyone looking for wonderful opportunities to come and attend,” Sadri said.
