AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Call for Art!The Aquarium of the Pacific announces a Call for Artists for a one-night event called "Night Dive."

Project Description
Night Dive, held on the evening of Friday, June 25, 2010, is an opportunity for adults 18 and over to explore the Aquarium after dark and to enjoy an exclusive evening of local music, art and culture. The previous Night Dive event held in January attracted 1400 guests and featured 50 art pieces.

The theme for the upcoming Night Dive's one-night exhibition is Beach Iconography. Night Dive aims to celebrate the start of the summer by showcasing different lenses of beach culture- surf, skate, beach cruisers, and the ocean. All entries should relate to the theme.

Artists selected for this event may choose to sell their work onsite; please be advised that the Aquarium will charge commission.

Deadline: Tuesday, May 18, 2010 at 6:00 p.m.

Eligibility: The competition is open to all emerging artists in Los Angeles and Orange counties. All forms of TWO-DIMENSIONAL painting, drawing, photography, graphics, printmaking, and digital art are eligible. Entrants must be 18 years of age or older to apply.

Jury:This is a juried exhibition. All submissions will be juried by a panel of Aquarium staff and members of the Long Beach arts community with a broad range of expertise.

Scope of Work:This call is open only to 2-D media, but we are by no means limited to traditional media. Drawings, printmaking, digital/new media, photography, painting, etc., are all possibly valid. Selected pieces must be ready to display on easel.

Original artwork in any 2-D medium within the exhibit theme will be accepted for review; however we currently cannot support video or sound-based media.
