ConTEXT

ConTEXT is an online exhibition exploring the use of text and language in visual art. The theme invites artists to show how text and language elevate their work, creating visual codes and layers of meaning. Whether your work is filled with extensive text or features a single character, you are invited to interpret what ConTEXT means through your perspective.

This call is open to artists worldwide, both amateur and professional, working in all fine art mediums including oil, acrylic, watermedia, pastel, drawing, printmaking, mixed media, photography, sculpture, fiber, wood, and digital art (video excluded). Artwork previously exhibited with Art Fluent or created under instructor guidance is not eligible. Submissions must include 1-20 JPEG images at 1,200 pixels or greater on the longest side, with a maximum file size of 5 MB. Entry fee is $20 for the first entry and $5 for each additional entry (up to 20 total). For 3D work, additional detail shots can be sent by email without additional fees. Payment is non-refundable and does not guarantee acceptance.

Accepted pieces will be displayed in the online gallery at www.art-fluent.com. Awards include First Place ($500), Second Place ($200), and Third Place ($100). Selection is by director's choice with no personal feedback provided. All accepted artists will be notified by email on June 4, 2021. Artists retain 100% of sales proceeds. A portion of entry fees is donated to organizations supporting the arts and artists.
