ART IN THE TIME OF CORONA™ (VOL.2) | A Global Art Project

ART IN THE TIME OF CORONA™ is a comprehensive pandemic art project launched by Dab Art Co. in April 2020. The project selects 30-40 new artists each month for exhibition. The goal is to record and exhibit defining artwork created during civil uncertainty. The second year (VOL.2) 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 featuring selected artists. Over 400 artists were exhibited in Year 1.

The project is divided into three phases running through 2023. Phase 1 includes an online exhibition running through March 2023, with artists and artworks reviewed and added monthly. Selected works will be featured on the Dab Art Co. website and ARTSY, which receives 2.2 million+ unique visitors monthly. Phase 2 includes publication of a full color 8.5x11 inch art book in February 2022, which will be added to the permanent catalog in the LACMA Balch Art Research Library. Ten artists will receive additional features in the publication. Phase 3 includes multi-gallery exhibitions in Los Angeles, Ventura, Austin, and Mexico City scheduled for spring/summer 2022.

Accepted artwork includes painting, printmaking, sculpture, glass, fiber, functional, digital, photography, installation, mixed media, and new genres. Entry fee is $35 for 3 images, with additional images at $5 each (maximum 20 images). An optional video consultation with the gallery director is available for $100. All selected work must remain available for sale for the duration of the project. Notifications are sent via email within 2 weeks after the close of each calendar month. Gallery exhibition notifications will be sent by January 31, 2022.
