"Untitled Art Project" New Reality Show for Bravo

I was just sitting around minding my own business last week then in came the open call for this new reality show. I always said if there ever was a reality show like Project Runway for artists I would give it a go. Haha be careful what you ask for because here it is. After fumbling around with the idea I figured why not. I have been preparing a new portfolio, updating the ever changing CV, picking out scarves (because it is only 85 in New York!!!) and hats. Me and my aspirations are hoping on a plane to the east coast on Friday. I am always one for an experience so New York here I come to gallivant on your sidewalks and expose my work to a table of strangers! I hope that there are many artists from Dallas heading to one of these castings. It is time the rest of the country sees how amazing our community is here in the "BIG D". You live once right? May all the dreamers of the world unite and make some art!

From Bravo's Website:

UNTITLED ART PROJECT

How do you go from struggling, emerging or even semi-established artist to selling a complete show for $198 million? It’s a big art world out there, but maybe this is one place to start!

Magical Elves (Peabody Award-winning Project Runway, Emmy Award-winning Top Chef) and Sarah Jessica Parker (Golden Globe- and Emmy Award-winner) and her production company, Pretty Matches, are teaming up for an hour-long creative competition series among aspiring contemporary artists who will create and compete to conquer the art world!

If you’re an emerging or mid-career artist with a unique, powerful voice that demands a bigger stage – well. . . Here. It. Is.

We want contemporary artists. Your medium could be one of many (or several of many) – painting, sculpture, installation, video, photography, mixed-media – we want voices that believe in their art and want the world to know.

Attend one of our four regional casting calls around the country and we will consider you for participation in this groundbreaking show.
