Shoe-In 2011

An Open Call to Artists: Shoe In 2012

Ballet West presents the 4th Annual Shoe-In, a juried art competition.  The event is a collaborative effort between Ballet West and local artists to bring more awareness and focus to the vibrant arts community in Utah.  For the 2011/12 year we invite Artists to submit works in a variety of mediums including photography, ceramic, wood, metal and print.  All pieces should be inspired by the art of ballet and more specifically the central concept of the pointe shoe of which each participating artist is offered a pair.

Shoe-In Art pieces are displayed at performances and other venues throughout the Salt Lake Valley.  In the spring all works are juried by a panel of local art professionals and the first place winner is awarded a cash prize of $500, second place $300, and third place $200.  Pieces are for sale to the public with proceeds going towards Ballet West’s education and outreach initiatives, extensive programs developed to share the art of dance with Utah’s students and educators. Shoe-In Artists are provided with exposure of their work to Ballet West patrons, in addition to print and website promotion, event and performance tickets, the opportunity to win a cash prize, and a cooperative philanthropic experience for the larger arts community.
