Analog | Digital Mistake

Beacon Gallery invites artists to explore how the analog to digital transition has impacted your work, identity, family, community, and view of the world. Submit artwork in any medium—painting, mixed media, video, audio, sculpture, or photography—that responds to this theme. You may also include a poem, paragraph, or essay explaining your experience to be published alongside your work.

Competition is open to all artists 18 years and older, internationally. Submit digital samples of recent original 2D or 3D artworks that are framed and/or ready to hang or display. Video and audio work may be submitted. The non-refundable entry fee is $35, which entitles you to submit up to 5 pieces (one image per artwork). The gallery may accept any number from zero to all 5 pieces for the show. Work must accurately represent the art being submitted. Artists are responsible for shipping costs to and from the gallery and any display needs such as pedestals unless otherwise arranged. The gallery is not responsible for works damaged in transit or from poor framing. Work may be submitted as NFS but requires a price for insurance purposes. For all sales, the artist-gallery split is 50%-50%.

Submissions open October 5 and close November 30, 2018. Acceptance notification is December 7th. In-person delivery of accepted works is January 5th-6th. The exhibition opens January 11th with an opening reception and awards announcement, and closes February 24th. Artwork pickup is February 25th & 26th. Jurors include Chris Lee (creative director and digital artist), Christine O'Donnell (owner and gallery director of Beacon Gallery), and Kimberly Thompson Panay (Director of Marketing and Communications for the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston).
