The Light of Day Art Project
Curators Gone Rogue (Susan Aurinko and Susan Blackman) have created a dynamic art show, and we invite you to apply to this juried fair. “The Light of Day Art Project” refers to artworks that have been out of the public eye for a long time for various reasons. They are taking up valuable storage space in your studios and must go. Why haven’t you shown the work? Because, for example, the art piece is too big, the art piece is too small, the art piece is the last in a series, the art piece was created years ago and got lost on your shelves, the art piece represents a style you no longer work in, and/or just because.
WHEN: Saturday, November 8, 2025 (at the beginning of the holiday buying season!)
WHERE: CAPE Chicago 1010 W. 35th Street https://capechicago.org/
WHO: Artists we (and you!) know and love.
TIME: 10 am -12 pm = Collectors Preview/Early Access (ticket required). 12-5 pm = General Admission (Suggested donation to CAPE).
November 6-7 - Load-in and hang walls.
November 8 – Load-out: Hopefully, you will sell everything. But if not, you must de-install and remove it after the show closes on Saturday.
Applying for this Fair requires that the work you bring to sell is at least 50% off your normal price. The pieces must be at least 5 years old and not a “test strip,” which many artists have piles of, nor reproductions/posters. You sell your own work and collect 100% of your sales. The only expenses you will incur are the cost of your space and the time you spend promoting this event. Artists who dedicate time and effort to promote their work are the most likely to sell!
We have space for only 58 artists for this show. We offer various options for you to showcase your work.
Please apply with 5 artworks,price,size, website, social media by the deadline
Reachout if you have any questions
