We the People...

The Cape Cod Museum of Art invites visual artists to submit artwork responding to the phrase "We the People..." from the Preamble of the United States Constitution. Artists are asked to consider what these words mean to them and how they would respond to this phrase and what it represents in their art.

Open to artists 18 years and older working in 2D and 3D media, including drawing, painting, printing, photography, collage, assemblage, and sculpture. Only original works may be submitted; Giclee prints of reproduced artwork are not acceptable, though digital photography and digital print methods are acceptable. The entry fee is $35 for up to three submissions and is non-refundable. Submissions must include one high-resolution digital image per artwork (1-5mb), title, year completed, medium, dimensions, and an artist's statement (up to 100 words). Up to 40 artists will be selected to exhibit their work.

Juror Lauren P. Della Monica will select award winners: Most Fitting to the Theme ($300), Juror's Choice Award ($200), and Honorable Mention ($100). Awardees and selected artists will be recognized on the museum's website and social media. Final submission deadline is February 15, 2019. Notification of acceptance is March 2, 2019.
