Bravo Casting For Sarah Jessica Parker’s Art Reality Show
Have you ever wondered how to go from being a “struggling, emerging or even semi-established artist to selling a complete show for $198 million?” Bravo says they might be able to help you with their new artist-based reality competition to win a “gallery show, a cash prize and a sponsored national tour,” whatever that means.
Created by Sarah Jessica Parker’s Pretty Matches Productions with Magical Elves, the producers of “Project Runway” and “Top Chef,” The Untitled Art Project is looking for 13 “contemporary artists” who “believe in their art and want the world to know.” Casting begins next month in Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, and New York at White Columns on July 18th and 19th. But first you have to fill out the 23-page application and contract which asks among other things:
Have a girlfriend?
Have a boyfriend?
Do you have any rules you live by?
What are your feelings about the relationship between the commercial and art worlds? For instance, what if a branded corporation wanted to use your art in their advertising; discuss your perspective.
Describe your most embarrassing moment… (And/or describe what you wish were your most embarrassing moment.)
What makes you nervous?
Were you ever the subject of any disciplinary proceedings or actions in the military?
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor?
Have you ever had a temporary restraining order issued against you or has anyone ever attempted to obtain a temporary restraining order against you?
Have you ever been convicted of any crime of reckless or drunk driving?
Have you ever done or been involved in anything that would cause the Program producer and/or the cable network and affiliates that may exhibit the Program any embarrassment or monetary loss if you are chosen to participate in the Program?
Have you ever created a website or posted any materials on any website (e.g., MySpace, Facebook, etc.)?
All these questions are crucial for determining whether artist applicants have the skills and personal drama to make the show commercially viable. Don’t forget the part where you sign over all rights to the artwork in your application either.

Editor-in-Chief:
I want to be on this show.
I am a pefect fit.
PICK ME.
are they casting in san francisco?
You've got to make the trek to L.A.
I want to be part of this …. If ever there is someone who should be seen and heard in the art word "C'est Moi."
If I wanted to be famous, I would kill somebody important. I want my sculptures to be world renowned So participating in a reality television show would be a jump start to world recognition. I am a dead sexy high school drop out who's trapped in the body of a young greek god. I never studied art but can pin together stone in a fashion that makes everyone smile. As for other mediums I like varnish more than paint because it highlights the natural beauty of an organic material. Industrial design well that is like traditional sculpting start with everything and remove everything that is not necessary, don't forget to recycle it. Photography: well here is a skill, All those buttons, levels, and developing, if standing waist deep in water waiting for every ripple and speck of dust to get out of the reflection of a piece I am trying to shoot is an art, so be it. I am creative and know what I want to capture on film. people can see it so its good. I read about the call for wanna bee's in the paper today…..SO…. I wanna be.

Instead of being all about me and bennys (money) like most artists seem to be, I am starting an artist charity network with a good friend. I figure we can at least try to do some good and help deserving people at the same time as other artists.
Want to learn more?? contact myself at my web site email address. We have 80 artists on board and FOUR charitys!
I was artist #138 at the Chicago auditions.

It was most cruel to have us fill out the 23 page application just for the audition. They should only give it to the people who get past the judges with their portfolios. I invested so much time in it. It wasn't a bad experience, but all that work filling out the application was for nothing. I doubt anyone even looked at it since the judges did not move me to the next level.
What ever happened to this show? Did it get produced or is it being produced?
I am perfect for a reality show….I paint….I used to model….i can act…i have a southern accent…are they doing the show?
Does anyone know when and where the auditions for the next show are?
Please advise as to when, where and how I might submit my application for this show. I am the Next Bravo Artist for sure.

Jillian Johnson And James Johnson arrived to this so called BROOKLYNN audition. WELL, we waited in the heat for over 8 hrs when they should have had every1 wait in the cool auditorium. Keep in mind we arrived early at 8am . The actual interview began around 5pm for James Nelson Johnson (70 yr old) ..AGAIN he waited in the heat from 8am til 5pm while standing 2 keep his place in a line and while holding 2 big canvases and a portfolio. James was told he's an amazing artist and a incredible draftsman, His interview lasted 7minutes or so. Basically for a 70 year old man who can do reverse art, world class exterior and interior Realistic and surealistic wall murals, as well remodel movie Theatre's, James was invited 2 showcase his acrylic & oil paintings in Bergdoff Goodman and also silk scene art, wood sculptures, model designs and more. This so called Brooklynn museum interview sucked! Sucked on the judges end.!Why have GREAT artists wait outside in the heat all day…. This is NOT a wonderful way 2 interview Great artists. Having them wait 8am until 5pm 9/10 hours in the heat !!! Please producers FOCUS! and Next time you invite a Virginian World class GREAT artist to a so called GREAT ARTIST casting call…. get it right! DON"T WASTE PEOPLES TIME AND MONEY! James could have painted another Wall Mural in the time this "Sweat Bath" of a casting call took place… LETS JUST SAY >>> BAD MOVE PRODUCERS! 2 Thumbs DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T call US!
'Dear Ms Parker, please consider me for the Artist show, I did not hear about the open call audition, My hus band who was an artitst , has been sick for the past two years, he was a Professor of Painting at SVA, he passed March 6, 2011, I truly miss him. He taught me a lot about Painting. I am a Sculptor, Painter and Printmaker. My name is Jamillah Jennings, I have a BFA and a MFA , but I don.t think that school makes the Artist. you learn from different things in the environment. I lost my teaching job in 2010, i believe that I put me soul into teaching students from different cultures. so i would love to be on your show
