Join a select group of Elected Artists whose works span the globe and renowned institutions, from contemporary to traditional pieces crafted by emerging talents or celebrated veterans! Showcase your artistry to museums, galleries and beyond with this exclusive opportunity.
Each year, a revered team of five experienced jurors is assembled to select the next Elected Artist. These individuals are comprised of three seasoned veterans together with two impartial external panelists who have been carefully chosen for their expertise in artistry and attention to detail required while evaluating submissions. The criteria they consider range from technical proficiency and creativity, to concept presentation and demonstration of innovation.
- A submission that demonstrates a distinctive / original body of work, such as themes, techniques, and materials, presentation and style as well as intangible criteria such as intentions and expressions. The artist’s body of work will consist of ten original artworks.
- The highest level of technical ability demonstrating skill, craft, technique and use of presentation of the artwork, utilizing line, shape, form, color, composition and design.
- A cohesive body of work that depicts and communicates the aims and objectives set out in the statement of intent, communicates an individual’s vision and understanding which might explore one approach, concept, idea, topic, subject matter, theme, or philosophy that demonstrates conceptual strength and generates multi-layered meanings.
- A statement of intent that defines the purpose of the work, identifying its aims and objectives.
- Work that is commensurate with work of our current Elected Artists.
