The Edge Effect: International Open Juried Exhibition

The Edge Effect describes an ecological phenomenon in the border area between disparate habitats, which results in exponentially greater biodiversity. The Katonah Museum of Art recognizes that a museum creates a similar environment where works from artists with diverse backgrounds and locations are brought together to foster dialogue and spark creativity. This exhibition will solicit submissions in all media, of all subject matter, and from artists throughout the world. It will be juried by Akili Tommasino, Associate Curator, MFA Boston and former Curatorial Assistant, MoMA, New York. Awards will be granted to the top three submissions.

Artists may submit up to six works in any media. Image files should be in JPEG or JPG format, maximum 5 MB, with a minimum of 1200 pixels on the longest side. Audio files should be in AIFF, WAV, XMF or MP3 format, maximum 10 MB, with a minimum bit rate of 96. Video files should be in 3GP, WMV, AVI, MOV, ASF, MPG, MP4, M2T, MKV or M2TS format, maximum 100 MB, with a minimum resolution of 640 x 480, minimum 12 fps. The fee for each work submitted is $25 for Katonah Museum Artists' Association members and $35 for non-members. Two-dimensional works may be no larger than 8 x 8 feet (including frame).
