Online Event - Contests, Juried Art Shows - Acrylic, Ceramics, Crafts, Digital Media, Glass, Mosaic, Illustration, Jewelry, Mixed media, Metalsmithing, Sculpture, Watercolor, Oil, Pastel, Photography, Poetry, Video/Film Art Gallery

Eco Arts Awards is an annual thematic arts competition that features six creative categories: Fine Art, Photography, Literature, Repurposed Materials in Art & Design, Short Videos, and Songwriting! The theme is ecology, as we seek to promote its meaning, knowing that artist's are a key factor in lifting our awareness above any political or scientific debate. We have expert jurors in each category that will select the top three winners; First, Second, and Third place. Our juror's score on the basis of criteria specific to each medium, but know that thematic content carries a heavier weight in the overall score. This is our second year, and we have made some changes, not the least of which is doubling the amount of cash we are offering to three winners in six creative categories! The other change we are making is rather than announcing ten finalists we will be announcing our "Top Fifty" in each category, as we want to honor more artist's for their creativity and promote the theme of ecology from as many different perspectives as is possible. We will announce all winners on January 31st, 2013 via our newsletter, so be sure to sign up for it on our home page! Its also a good idea to "like us" on facebook for more current news and interesting info pertaining to the art of ecology. Now go hug a tree and express yourself!

Wide Open 4 Juried Art Show NYC: Call to Artists

Contests, Juried Art Shows - Acrylic, Ceramics, Crafts, Digital Media, Glass, Mosaic, Illustration, Jewelry, Mixed media, Metalsmithing, Sculpture, Watercolor, Oil, Pastel, Photography, Poetry, Video/Film Art Gallery

We are excited to announce our fourth annual national juried art show, Wide Open 4 and its prestigious juror—Carrie Springer, Senior Curatorial Assistant at the Whitney Museum of American Art. With her direction, we look forward to a really awesome show. Hurricane Sandy set us back a couple of months, but the 2013 show will be longer and better than ever in our newly rebuilt space. $3100 in cash prizes will be awarded including $1000 Best in Show. The exhibit runs May 11 - June 16, 2013.The broad theme of "Wide Open 4" encompasses all the possibilities of knowledge and freedom and love—wide open spaces…arms wide open…eyes wide open—but as with all things, there is the inevitable opposite—wide open to attack…corruption…failure. What kind of fantasy is this? What does it really indicate? This juried show looks to explore this idea of "wide open" in all the hidden niches of our collective psyche. Ours is a truly unique gallery—a massive Civil War-era warehouse on the Red Hook waterfront in Brooklyn, NY. Its enormous space affords us the opportunity to exhibit really huge work, and we welcome it. We will be using 8,000 square feet for this show, and look forward to exhibiting artist's work from all around the country, work in all sizes, subjects, and media, except film (it's almost completely wide open).This call for submission is open to all residents of the U.S. and its Territories 18 years of age or older. This is a juried exhibition for artists working in all traditional and non-traditional 2D and3D media, including film/video when part of an installation. All artwork must be original in concept, design and execution.
