Here's what to bring to and be prepared for at the drop-off:

1. Your work, which must be dry and ready to hang (wired, or with other appropriate hanging hardware). PLEASE BE SURE YOUR NAME AND THE TITLE OF YOUR PIECE ARE ON THE BACK. If your work is not properly prepared for hanging, it will not be shown. Please check in with the curator or installation chair to confirm that your work is ready to hang or install.

2. Bring a blacklight if you have one. If you are supplying your own blacklight it must be the fluorescent type.

3. Optional: A one-page bio and/or artist's statement.
Untitled maintains a book of bios and artists' statements for patrons to review during our shows. If you would like your information included in the book, please bring a single page with you to the drop-off. Article on writing an artist's statement:

Work may include original art, prints, or craft items smaller than 11x17 inches and does not have to glow. They must be matted or otherwise protected, and must be in a clear plastic sleeve/packaging (available at any art supply store). If you bring small works, be sure to bring a typed page listing each piece, including title, medium, and price. Pieces for the small works table must be dropped off at the Wednesday night drop-off and artists are responsible for taking unsold work with them at 11pm.
Again, this is for GLOW ONLY. Untitled will keep 10% of small work sales. You must have work entered in the main GLOW exhibition to submit art for the small works table.

5. At drop-off you will sign our artist need to know form. This form contains important information about showing with Untitled.

Please let us know what you can do to help. The volunteer schedule will be finalized at the drop-off from 6-8 PM on Wednesday, July 25.

GLOW: An Illuminated Art Event

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 12, 2007

UNTITLED’S FIFTH ANNUAL SUMMER FUNDRAISER,

“GLOW: An Illuminated Art Event”

Nashville, TN.

On Friday night, July 27, 2007 the BarCar in Cummins Station will open its doors to Untitled’s annual midsummer’s night show, “Glow: An Illuminated Art Event.” This one-night only art gala and silent auction is sure to get “glowing” reviews with its featured luminous & black-lit art. The excitement will include prize drawings, interactive art displays, live hip-hop dance, & music by D.J. Synapse Trap.

The BarCar in Cummins Station hosts this night of uncensored art for unlimited audiences that will feature diverse art from artists located in the Nashville and the middle Tennessee region. Local photography group, SNAP, will host a digital projection slideshow themed, "Night", across a 9 foot screen.

The art party of the summer, “Glow: An Illuminated Art Event” celebrates more than a decade-old Nashville tradition of self-lit and black-lit art shows and hopes to raise money for Untitled’s own artist-run non-profit organization and its unique art programs.

In its sixteen years of existence, Untitled has offered emerging artists opportunities to shine and develop their talents while illuminating the Nashville community with radiant artistic perspectives and incandescent artistic experiences. Untitled artists are a culturally diverse group who work democratically and cooperatively outside the traditionally conservative gallery setting.

Join us Friday July 27th from 7- 11:00 p.m. in the BarCar in Cummins Station, located at 209 10th Avenue south. A $5 donation is requested at the door with 10% of art sales benefiting Untitled Artists Group.

Patrons may enter to win door prizes provided by businesses such as Plaza Artist Materials, Essense Day Spa, Blue Coast Burrito, Kazu Restaurant, and many more!
