Slice: A Juried Exhibit of Regional Art 2019

Slice is a juried exhibition now in its 7th year, open to California artists working in all media. The exhibition showcases work that is conceptually thoughtful, technically skilled, and representative of contemporary trends in art. Wall work must be 3 feet wide maximum, with no size restrictions for three-dimensional work. All work must not exceed 100 pounds and be ready to install. Accepted work should be original and completed within the past five years.

Applicants must submit 3-6 images (or up to 3 videos) of their work along with an artist statement. The entry fee is $35 for non-Pence members and $30 for members. Accepted work will be displayed in the Main Gallery (1000 sq. ft. with 12-foot ceilings) from July 12 to August 18, 2019. A reception will be held on Friday, July 12 at 6-9 PM, with awards announced at 7:30 PM. Merit awards of $400, $300, and $200 will be given for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prizes based on the juror's selection. The juror is Julia Couzens, whose work is held in collections including the Berkeley Art Museum, Crocker Art Museum, and Yale University.

Accepted work may be hand-delivered July 5-6 or shipped and insured by the artist by July 6. The Pence Gallery will insure all artwork while on premises through August 20.
