LACDA 2010 'Top 40' International Juried Competition
LACDA announces our juried competition for digital art and
photography. Our competitions are very open ended in terms of concept
and approach, choosing not impose limits on the artists. Rather, we
encourage a broad range of technological creativity. Many top level
academics, many self-taught 'outsiders,' some persons of great
celebrity, many entirely unknown are exhibited--we are radically
inclusive and all are welcome. Our only caveat is that the work must
involve digital processes of some kind (as this is our focus). That
one requirement instantly narrows things down to a very identifiable
realm of activity, in which we have sought expertise and for which we
are a formidable advocate. This open approach is informed by our many
years of experience in that regard.
Entrants submit three JPEG files of original work. All styles of
artwork and photography where digital processes of any kind were
integral to the creation of the images are acceptable. Open to all
geographical locations.
Forty selected winners receive one print up to 24x36 on museum quality
paper to be shown in an international group exhibition in our gallery
from May 13-June 5, 2010. The show will be widely promoted and will
include a reception for the artists.
Many artists from this exhibit continue their relationship with LACDA
for exhibit in solo shows, exhibits curated outside of LACDA and
exhibit in art and photo fairs where LACDA participates. All entries
are given special consideration for exhibiting at LACDA and outside
exhibitions where we are featured.
Artists participating in our competitions form the pool of artists
from which we select the vast majority of those featured at LACDA and
are often considered by our associated network of galleries, museums
and curators. Proceeds from the competition support these gallery
programs.
