Opportunity For Artists

Folks at the Brott Music Festival are looking to commission some work. This is a great opportunity to get some exposure and I highly recommend it.

BROTT MUSIC FESTIVAL IS COMMISSIONING 7 LOCAL ARTISTS

ARE YOU A VISUAL ARTIST?

The Brott Music Festival is looking to commission 7 visual artists to create original works inspired by ‘The Planets’ orchestral suite by Gustav Holst.

Selected artists will receive an honorarium of $175 and retain ownership of the piece.

The selected art pieces will be projected /displayed on a multi-media screen while the 50 piece National Academy Orchestra performs “The Planets” live.

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?

Selected artists will be asked to CREATE – a work describing one movement of the 7 movements: (Mars Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune)

REMEMBER – when Holst composed this work he was inspired by the astrological forces affecting the human psyche.
