Texas Seeks Artists To Represent State
The Texas Commission on the Arts (TCA) is seeking nominations for the positions of state poet laureate, state musician, state two-dimensional artist and state three-dimensional artist. These positions, created by S.B. 1043 of the 77th Legislature, will be filled by one-year appointments. Selection of the four positions will be made by a legislative-appointed committee based on the one-time nomination form; multiple submissions or contact to TCA will not be considered in the selection process. All qualified nominees must be native Texans or five-year residents of the state. Candidates must have received recognition for high levels of excellence and success in their respective disciplines. They also must have received critical reviews in state, regional or national publications. In addition, poet laureate nominees must have developed a substantial body of work, including at least one publication that is not self-published. State musician nominees must have a substantial body of work, including at least two nationally available records, or at least 20 years experience teaching music in a formal classroom, or receive the majority of their income from musical endeavors. Visual artist nominees must work in two- or three-dimensional art mediums, must have been represented in at least one, one-person show and must have an extensive history of exhibiting in recognized museums and galleries. Any Texas citizen may make up to three nominations per artist category; however, self-nominations will not be accepted.
