Slice: A Juried Exhibit of Regional Art 2022

Slice is a juried exhibition now in its 10th year, open to artists residing in California. This is an open theme juried exhibit showcasing art that is conceptually thoughtful, technically skilled, and representative of contemporary trends in art. Work may be in any medium except for video or sound, but must not exceed 36" wide for 2D work. There are no size restrictions for three-dimensional work. Work must not exceed 100 lb and must be ready to install. Works on paper are accepted providing they are framed or have hardware to safely display them. Accepted work should be original, completed within the past five years, and remain at the Pence during the entire exhibit. The work must not have been shown at the Pence previously.
