Call for Proposals

I recently looked at three different websites that offer artists opportunities to exhibit work. Box 13 ArtSpace, Akimbo, and Minnesota Artists Exhibition Program all share similarities in their proposal guidelines. They all require a written proposal, no more than 500 words, digital work samples are needed, CV/ artist resume, and  numbered image lists are also required. These calls are all organized fairly well, although at times seem very dense and overwhelming. In terms of design I would say that the Minnesota Artists Exhibition Program's website is organized the best.  It is simplistic, easy to read, large font, and looks more professional compared to the other sites.  One thing I do not like about this exhibition call is that it requires two different writing samples.  Box 13 ArtSpace site is also nicely organized and has the important information in bold font.  I do not like the last few pages of the website, it seems to get crowded. I like the collaborative aspects of the call for proposal on the Akimbo website.  I do not like the website itself.  It seems to have too much going on and important information is not as clearly labeled as the other sites.

  1. How might you make the information less dense and overwhelming? Could you break the information up by using tabs, links so that if there were questions the reader could look up additional information.
