Wide Open 4 Juried Art Show NYC: Call to Artists

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

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.

Painting is enjoying a remarkable creative renaissance in the 21st century, with many of the world’s leading artists now working in this most enduring and seductive of media. 100 Painters of Tomorrow is an ambitious new project, initiated by curator and gallerist Kurt Beers* and the publishers Thames & Hudson**, to find the 100 most exciting painters at work today. Culminating in a major publication that will introduce and present each artist and their work, creating a snapshot of the best new talent in painting from across the globe, submissions are invited from artists via this website from 15 March – 15 March 2013. 100 Painters of Tomorrow, edited by Kurt Beers, will be published by Thames & Hudson in 2014 and accompanied by a major exhibition of contemporary painting at London’s Institute of Contemporary Arts. The publication will feature texts giving essential biographical information on these rising stars, accompanied by quotations from the artists themselves, providing personal insights into their thinking and practice. Lavishly illustrated with more than 300 colour images, it will be the intelligent and definitive guide to the outstanding painters of the future. Artists’ submissions will be judged by an international jury featuring some of the most prominent names in contemporary art, including the painter Cecily Brown, curators Sir Norman Rosenthal, Yuko Hasegawa, Gregor Muir and Suzanne Cotter, and writer-critics Tony Godfrey, Suzanne Hudson, Philip Tinari and Barry Schwabsky.
