Axis 17th National Juried Exhibition

Axis Gallery invites submissions to its 17th National Juried Exhibition, featuring juror Kevin B. Chen, Resident Curator at San Francisco State University's Fine Arts Gallery.

The exhibition is open to artists residing in the U.S. and accepts contemporary original 2D and 3D work in any medium including painting, print, drawings, video, photography, or digital images. 2D work should not exceed a framed size of 48" in the longest dimension. 3D work is limited to 36" and not more than 60 lbs. Video work must be 5 minutes or shorter and will be rotated on a 60" monitor installed in the gallery, or the artist may provide and install their own equipment (monitors no larger than 30" diagonal).
