Every year, 10×10x10 invites 10 artists from 10 communities to create installations in 10 empty storefronts in downtown Ellenville, NY.

Submitted signs will be incorporated in an installation for 3-4 weeks in beginning on July 11, 2009, the opening of the exhibit. The signs will also be part of a longer term online project. Artists will be fully credited online and at the exhibition site.

• There is no fee for submitting work.
• Anyone can submit, and multiple submissions are welcome.
• Two sizes of signs will be accepted: 12″x8″ and 19″x15″.
• Be aware that for installation purposes, signs will likely be attached to a structure via pins through the corners of the signs.
• However you choose to treat the sign and the medium you use is up to you. The only requirement is that it says “FOR RENT” and that it should have an area in which someone could write a phone # (no phone #’s will be written on the signs, but they should have the space for it.)
• Signs should be created using a sturdy but flexible material. ie: heavy card stock, poster board, watercolor, etc. (or even plastic or vinyl if you choose to rework an actual For Rent sign.)
• *Deadline for receipt of signs: Monday, June 22.*
• Drop off locations for signs will be set up in Beacon, Poughkeepsie and Ellenville, NY. Signs can also be mailed to: Christopher Albert 1172 North Ave Beacon, NY 12508.
