In The Abstract 2024

San Fernando Valley Arts & Cultural Center invites artists to enter the juried In the Abstract virtual exhibit. Abstract art uses shapes, forms, color, line and texture as opposed to representing an accurate depiction of visual reality. SFVACC seeks artists who can provide a well-rounded range of 2D and 3D abstract art. All submitted art will be juried using digital images.

The exhibition is open to all artists residing in North America. Entry deadline is Thursday, May 2, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. MST. Entries must be submitted as high resolution (1-5MB) digital JPEGs, with a maximum of six original artworks per artist. Entry fee is $35 for the first artwork, with up to five additional entries at $5 each. Acceptance notifications will be sent by Saturday, May 11, 2024, and award winners will be notified by May 13, 2024.

The virtual exhibit opens Saturday, June 1, 2024 and closes Sunday, June 30, 2024. A Virtual Artists' Reception will be held June 15, 2024 at 5 p.m. PST, where artists may participate with a 1-minute time slot to introduce themselves and discuss their work. Awards include Best of Show ($800), 1st Place ($400), 2nd Place ($300), and up to four Honorable Mentions. Juror Dale Youngman is an independent art marketing and communications consultant with nearly twenty years of experience curating professional exhibitions. All sales are handled directly between artist and buyer with no commission to SFVACC. The exhibit will remain archived on the SFVACC website indefinitely after closing.
