Think “Top Chef,” only with paintings and sculpture. Bravo is casting aspiring artists for an as-yet-untitled series being produced by Sarah Jessica Parker’s company, Pretty Matches, with Magical Elves (”Project Runway”).

“In each episode of the series, contestants will create unique pieces highlighting art’s role in everyday life, while they compete and create in a range of disciplines including sculpture, painting, photography and industrial design (to name a few).  In working beyond their preferred mediums, artists will have to adapt quickly in order to succeed. Completed works of art will be appraised by a panel of top art world figures including fellow artists, gallerists, collectors, curators and critics.  The finalists’ work will be showcased in a nation-wide museum tour.”

The most convenient open casting call for St. Louis artists is in Chicago. It’s scheduled for 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Thursday, July 16, at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Sullivan Galleries, 33 State Street. Open calls are also set for Los Angeles, July 11-12; Miami, July 14; and New York, July 18-19. For more info: BravoTV.com/casting.
