Pattern & Design, Curated by Kristine Schomaker

Shoebox Arts invites submissions for Pattern & Design, an open call exhibition at Shoebox Projects in Los Angeles. Curator Kristine Schomaker, inspired by the Pattern & Design movement of the 1970s, seeks work exploring repetition of line, color, shape, and pattern. The in-person exhibition runs June 23 to July 14, 2024, with an opening reception on June 23 from 3-5pm PST and closing reception and pick-up on July 14 from 3-5pm PST. The selected award is an in-person solo show at Shoebox Projects during the 2024/2025 season.

Only 2D fine arts visual media will be considered, with a maximum size of 40"x40". Artists must submit a minimum of 3 images for a non-refundable $30 submission fee. Up to 7 additional pieces (for a total of 10) may be submitted for an additional $5 each. All work must address the Pattern & Design theme and include D-rings, cleats, or wire for hanging. Mattes, magnets, and clips are not permitted. Work must be dropped off and picked up at designated times; USPS delivery is not accepted.

Eligibility is open to artists 18 or older in Southern California (San Luis Obispo/Kern/San Bernardino counties down to San Diego/Imperial counties and all counties between) who are able to deliver and pick up work from the Brewery Arts Complex in Los Angeles. The submission deadline is May 31, 2024 at 10:59 PM PST. Accepted artists will be announced on June 8, 2024.
