LA Mobile Arts Festival 2012

I think there is still time to submit your iPhone artwork to the LA Mobile Arts Festival 2012 (August 2012) if there's an interest. No need to print your work - submitted electronically.

On a side note, here's a poster I submitted for consideration by the Festival - based on their theme of early flight / pioneers:

I found it a bit confusing, as in how to submit my images. I wish they'd write in plain English, , anyhow I think I've sent in my 5 images. I also wrote a proposal to them regarding a video+music show, but I haven't heard any word back from the organisers...so I shall wait and see.

As I understood it, you can either email images or join IPA and submit images to the groups associated with the Festival. Surprised you haven't at least gotten an acknowledgement for you video+music show - the Festival is now just two months away.

Thanks for the kind words and best wishes!

Is anyone here participating in this, or planning to attend?

I'm participating and attending - I don't live far from the venue.

I didn't think they had actually said who is definitely taking part yet? They sent out letters about who was shortlisted on friday. I may be taking part (three images shortlisted) but cannot come as it's slightly too far to travel for me....

I received an email last night that one of my images was short listed for this event. I couldn't believe it! Im still very new to all of this....what size do you usually print choose for your artwork?

Thanks for your help!!

Congratulations! I believe that if you're finally chosen, they'll come back to you with proposed sizes and some paper options.

The email i received had attached a price list for the options for sizing and finish/mounts. One of my images was for the daguerrotypes and they decide the size of those (5 x 7). The others i chose size and price based on how much i charge for other images of mine of the same size elsewhere. I also chose the finish based on the style of the images. (watercolour rag paper as it happens).

Sounds like we are all getting different sorts of emails at different times.....

My email was similar to the one you describe, and I'm having a piece included among the daguerreotype-style images as well.

I received similar information. I wrote an email to Daria and Nathaniel about the size. They want to see my file and they will suggest a size. I will probably print on the Kodak Metallic...it's based on the image and title. But I will wait and see what they say.

I haven't seen their aluminum prints, but I exhibit almost exclusively on aluminum and I absolutely love it. It's something most people haven't seen before, so viewers get really excited about it and about how much depth and life the metal brings to the print. The two main downsides are that they are easily damaged and they can be very tricky to light properly in an exhibit space.

Thanks Cat, Lisa and Mel! Also, thanks Sita for additional info on prints.

Daria told me I could print up to 20x20 for my image. I think the metallic goes up to 16x16...I didn't even think of lighting (great point Sita).

So excited!!!
