Emergent Arts

Call for Artists
*Application period opens on May 8 and closes on June 9*
Emergent Arts is seeking an artist or group of artists to design and paint all four sides of a metal shipping container, measuring 8 x 8 x 20 ft.
Emergent Arts is a not-for-profit community arts organization. The shipping container houses our new pop-up art supply store, where we recycle and resale used art supplies at a steep discount. Emergent Arts’ overall mission is to foster creativity among emerging artists of all ages and abilities in Garland County and surrounding communities.
Emergent Arts is located on Whittington Ave. in Hot Springs, AR. Our facility sits directly across and adjacent to the National Park, with access to hiking and biking trails, creeks, and natural spring fountains.
The pop-up shop sits in the parking lot of the historic Dryden Pottery building, which is still a working pottery factory today. Two murals in the vicinity already exist. Please see attached photos.
While coordinating with the adjacent environment is not a requirement, the location of the pop-up shop container and its surroundings would, ideally, be considered.
The natural surroundings of the National Park, the historic significance of the Whittington Ave area, and/or Emergent Arts’ status as a creative gathering place for the community can all act as points of inspiration for your design.
How to Apply:
Please send the following to kara@emergentarts.org by June 9th, 2021
-5 images of previous work
-any relevant experience you have in completing a project of this scale
-detailed drawings of your design or designs for each side of the container. Two sides of the container measure 8x20ft, and two sides of the container measure 8x8ft, for a total of four drawings done to scale. Take into consideration the uneven surface of the container and the hardware components.
-include an estimate of your materials and time cost, and let us know if this is a flexible figure for you. Discussion of the budget will follow if your work is juried into the finals.

Broomstick Lace Crochet with Jenn Fayard ONLINE

Wednesday
May 19, 2021
6:00 – 8:00 pm

Age: High School to Adult

Broomstick lace is a beautiful crochet technique that looks complicated, but it’s much easier than you think! All you need are basic crochet skills (chain and single crochet) and a willingness to learn!

In this course, students will learn the basics of how to make broomstick lace and achieve different effects, and will begin a broomstick lace scarf. They will also receive tips for which colors and weights of yarns work best with this technique, and advanced students can explore how to make more complex shapes, like shawls or garments.

Please note: Emergent Arts has art kits with the proper weight of yarn and crochet hook for the class. Those are available for $10 each*. If you would like to purchase supplies on your own, or if you happen to have supplies already, you’ll need: G sized crochet hook, a 25 mm knitting needle or dowel, and a skein of light to medium weight yarn. Solid colors are recommended, no specialty yarns. Email kara@emergentarts.org

After payment is received, we will send you a zoom link via email. Kits with materials will be ready for pickup prior to class. Scholarships available – email erin@emergentarts.org for information.

*A generous Elisabeth Wagner Grant allows for discounted materials for some of our online courses. ...
