SUMMARY:Octagonal 2023: The All Media Show
DESCRIPTION:Octagonal: The All-Media Show is the annual\, juried all-media exhibition at the Octagon Center for the Arts in Ames\, Iowa. Originally titled the Clay and Paper Show\, the exhibit opened in 1968 to provide an opportunity to the central Iowa arts community. Over the past 54 years\, the exhibit morphed over the decades to become the Clay\, Fiber\, Paper\, Glass\, Metal\, Wood Exhibit that has featured hundreds of artists from dozens of states. The newest version of the exhibit\, Octagonal: The All-Media Show\, launched in 2018 taking a note from the past while moving forward to continue to provide an exciting opportunity for artists across Iowa\, the Midwest\, and the nation. This exhibit features a regionally-recognized juror each year\, attracts artists from across the United States\, and provides significant cash awards.\n\n \nCLICK HERE to visit the Octagonal Page\n\n \n\nExhibit Timeline \n\n\n\nApplications Open: Dec 2\, 2022 \nApplications Close: Jan 15\, 2023\, 11:59 pm \nNotification of Jury Results: Jan 25\, 2023 \nArtwork Delivery/Drop-off Deadline: Feb 18\, 2023* \nExhibit Opening/Reception: March 3 \nExhibit Closes: April 8 \nArtwork Pickup Dates: April 10 – 14\, 2023 \nArtwork Ship Dates: April 17 – 21\, 2023 \n*All artwork must be received by February 18\, 2023.
