Mix It Up! Contemporary Mixed Media

Mix It Up! Contemporary Mixed Media seeks to exhibit contemporary art and invites submissions that reflect a wide range of styles and imagery incorporating a minimum of three different media in addition to the base material. This juried exhibition will showcase innovative works that explore unique combinations of materials, techniques, and methods as well as unexpected relationships between concept and media.

The exhibition is open to all artists over 18 years of age working in mixed media. All art must be original, completed in the last two years, and available through the entire run of the show. All works must be for sale. Artists must submit a minimum of three works and up to five works. Each work should be represented by clearly focused, well-lit images on a neutral background that accurately represents the submission. Two-dimensional works cannot exceed 36" in height and 36" in width, including frame.
