For the sake of this exhibition, we generally refer to authors from the reading list found at http://www.stjohnscollege.edu/academic/ANreadlist.shtml, or included in the "Great Books" anthology series found in most libraries. This exhibit does not pretend to cover all great thinkers of the world. It is an exhibit however with clear limits.

2. There is a 5 dollar submission fee only for 1 - 3 images of 2 dimensional art. The original art should not be larger than than 48" x 60". Additionally, for artists whose works are selected, it will be their sole responsibility and expense incurred for getting the work to the exhibit space, ready to hang, and picking it up if not sold or having it shipped back to them. The exhibit space will be in the greater Baltimore Maryland area.

3. Images must be submitted on CD, in JPEG or PDF format, at 300 dpi resolution or greater. Each submitting artist may submit up to 3 images. CDs should include artist resume, and contact info, as well as basic info on submitted pieces. Mail CDs to Curator, Great Thinker Arts, 100 Malbrook Rd., Baltimore, MD 21229.

4. There must be a CLEAR connection between the visual art images presented and the thought or life of one of the "great authors of the Western world"

The Art Connection in the Capital Region is Seeking Artwork

The Art Connection in the Capital Region (ACCR) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization originated in 2004 to expand community access to art in the greater metropolitan area of Washington DC, Maryland and Northern Virginia.

Modeled after The Art Connection in Boston, which was founded by painter and sculptor Fay Chandler in 1995, ACCR facilitates the placement of original works of art donated by artists and art collectors within not-for-profit social service organizations to encourage healing and provide inspiration.

Organizations benefiting from this unique partnership often serve individuals faced with the most vulnerable circumstances and include: shelters, children's centers, and treatment facilities, amongst others.

The criterion for placement stipulates that a partnering organization must reside within the Capital Region and have no funding for art. Artwork that is donated to the not-for-profit is considered a permanent donation, cannot be sold, and must be exhibited in a secure public area where clients served by the organization have direct access to it.

To learn more about The Art Connection in the Capital Region, the communities it empowers, and the art donation process, please visit: www.artconnection-cr.org. or call 202-536-2607.
