PONSHOP is pleased to announce our seventh community art exhibition in July of 2016, and we invite you to participate as an artist in the event! “Model Kit Marvels” will feature custom-painted model kits supplied by the New York-based company Boundless Brooklyn. Artists can select between the Boundless Brooklyn Half Pipe, Medium Water Tower, or Billboard kit.
Entry Parameters: Artists can modify their model kit however they see fit, adorning with paint, markers, and incorporating additional materials. The models, however, must retain the same "footprint" - meaning that no materials shall excessively extend beyond the volume of the model. Boundless Brooklyn Kits must be purchased through PONSHOP. All artwork must be assembled and dry upon delivery and all work must be for sale (The gallery retains 40% commission on all sales). The gallery reserves the right to reject entries based upon quality: uniqueness and creativity, craftsmanship and execution. Late Entries will be rejected. Entries must be original creations of the artist - no reproductions of others artwork.
We encourage all participating artists to join us for the opening reception. We'll be doing a Do-It-Yourself Model Kit workshop in our classroom and, weather permitting, we'll have our garden open as well for guests.
Feel free to contact us should you have any questions.
