30x30 Challenge

The 30x30 Challenge is an annual competition that invites artists to create 30 artworks in 30 days. This curated opportunity pushes artists to refine and redefine their work, with the goal of making a complete artwork every day for a month. Past artists have found fresh insight about their practice and established new methods of approaching art making.

To enter, submit 3 to 5 samples of your existing artwork that reflect the kind of work you intend to explore during the challenge, if selected. The entry fee is $25. You must be 18 years or older to apply. Selected artists will be notified by October 4th, 2024 before they begin the 30 days of making. All artwork must be original and completed within the 30-day window, precisely 6" x 6", and ready to hang with wire backing upon delivery. 3D work must not extend more than 6" from the wall. Artwork cannot have been previously exhibited at Blue Line Arts and must be individually for sale.

The exhibition runs November 23rd to December 28th, 2024. Artwork shipping deadline is November 6th, 2024. Hand delivery is available November 18th-19th from 10am-3pm. The opening reception is Saturday, December 21st from 5-8pm. Unsold work can be picked up December 29th-30th from 10am-3pm. Blue Line Arts handles all sales transactions.
