Ingenuity Cleveland is pleased to announce a call for artists to provide photographic and other visual artworks for Dominion Energyā€™s Community Connection initiative.
About the Initiative
Dominion Energy is updating artwork on its Cleveland-based campus located in the St. Clair Superior neighborhood. Seeking to create a connection to the neighborhood(s) surrounding the campus through updated artworks, Dominion Energy places focus on human needs, environmental stewardship, education, and community vitality. Dominion Energy is inviting local photographers and artists to submit their works for a cash award. The selected artwork will be printed professionally and displayed at the Dominion Energy Campus in St. Clair ā€“ Superior neighborhood beginning in early 2020.
What type of Art will be Considered?
Goal: Connect the Dominion Energy Cleveland campus to the surrounding neighborhood(s), and the people who live and work here.
We are seeking primarily photographic works, though some 2D visual artworks created in other media and some 3D artworks will be considered. Square format is preferred, and works will be reproduced in a range of sizes up to 36Ć—36ā€¯.
