Postmark opens Calls for Artists and seeks new poet laureate
Loading...
Summary
Postmark (City of Auburn) will open Calls for Artists in late spring for multiple gallery spaces—including community center and Vault installations—and accept applications for a three-year poet laureate role as the current laureate’s term ends.
Host Jonathan Glover and staff from Postmark announced that the city arts hub will open Calls for Artists this spring, with submissions accepted via the CallForEntry website for several exhibition spaces, including the community center gallery, the Cheryl Solis gallery at the senior center, Art on Main and the Vault gallery.
A Postmark arts assistant described the Vault gallery as a roughly 62-square-foot space suited to immersive, site-specific installations, while the community center and Cheryl Solis gallery are oriented toward two-dimensional work (with limited opportunities for small sculptural pieces on pedestals). The assistant said calls typically open in May or early June and that detailed application information will be posted online.
Postmark also said it will open a search for a three-year Poet Laureate as the current laureate, Mateo, approaches the end of his term. The arts assistant said the Poet Laureate role supports monthly poetry nights and other literary programming and noted an upcoming National Poetry Month celebration scheduled for April 29. The assistant cautioned that some dates mentioned on-air (for example, an April 23 opening) were preliminary and said staff would confirm exact dates on auburny.gov/postmark.
Artists interested in applying were directed to CallForEntry and to Postmark’s Instagram at @auburn.arts for updates. The City of Auburn communications team said it will repost and cross-promote Postmark opportunities on the city calendar.
The episode closed with the city hosts encouraging artists of all media to submit proposals and noting that Postmark is prioritizing immersive and community-oriented work for its fall programming.
