ART IN THE TIME OF CORONA™ (VOL. 3) | The Final Installment

ART IN THE TIME OF CORONA™ is a global art project launched by Dab Art Co. in April 2020 in response to the pandemic. The project selects 30-40 new artists each month for exhibition and has selected almost 1000 artists to participate. The goal is to record and exhibit defining artwork created during civil uncertainty. Year 3 features an ongoing online exhibition (updated monthly), a full color publication of all selected works, international and multi-city gallery exhibitions, and a documentary film short.

Accepted artwork includes painting, printmaking, sculpture, glass, fiber, functional, digital, photography, installation, mixed media and new genres. Submissions require a minimum of 3 images and maximum of 20 images. Entry fee is $35 for 3 images; additional images cost $5 each. An optional video consultation with the gallery director is available for $100. Selected artists will be featured on the Dab Art Co. website and ARTSY platform, which receives 2.2 million+ unique visitors monthly. Notifications are sent via email within 2 weeks after the close of each calendar month. Gallery exhibition notifications will be sent by January 31, 2023.

Phase 2 includes publication of a full color art book in February 2023, which will be added to the permanent catalog in the LACMA Balch Art Research Library. Ten artists from the online exhibition will receive additional features in the publication and a hardback copy of the book. Phase 3 features multi-gallery 8-week exhibitions scheduled for spring 2023 in Los Angeles, Ventura, Austin, and Mexico City. All work selected online must remain available for sale for the entirety of the project. Gallery requirements include original, unsold work with sole copyright owned by the artist; professional quality frames, mats and wiring; and 2D artwork must be ready to hang.
