Cathedral Creative Studios and L’Entrepot Hosts the Bombay Sapphire Artisan Series for NOLA

Big thanks to Anna Harris for guest-posting the following wonderful opportunity for local artists!

Cathedral Creative Studios and L’Entrepot are proud to announce that we’ve been selected as 2012 hosts of the Bombay Sapphire Artisan Series in New Orleans.

Since 2009, Bombay Sapphire and the Rush Philanthropic Art Foundation have
celebrated the ingenuity and insight of emerging artists with the Artisan Series. Last year, San Francisco and New York ranked top in local artist participation; this year, our goal is to put New Orleans in the lead.

Our city is unique in its rich history and diverse modern landscape, something that
definitely shows in the work of the thousands of talented artists that make their
homes here. We’re inviting all local 2D and 3D visual artists to submit original
artwork of any theme before August 24th, 2012. Submission is free, and you can submit one piece a day until the end of the competition. This is New Orleans’
opportunity to share the incredible richness of its artistic community with the
world, so please spread the word!

Of course, this competition isn’t just about showing some local pride; it’s also a great chance for local artists to showcase their talent. Semi-finalists’ work will be featured in one of three New Orleans-based exhibits at L’Entrepot’s Julia Street gallery space. Even better, winners at the local level will go on to compete at Art Basel Miami for a chance to win a solo exhibit at the Rush Arts Gallery in New York.

Visit Sapphire Artisan Series to submit your work. For more information, please contact us at info@cathedralnola.com or via our Facebook page.
