AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Call for artists for the LA portion of this national art competition Jordan Winery is holding for their 40th Anniversary.

Called 4 on 4, the competition is taking place in LA, NYC, Dallas and Miami. In LA the winner will receive $5000 and the 2 runners up will receive $2000 and $1000. We are working with LACE and the Black Cat Gallery in Culver City on the program. The top 40 works will be exhibited at Black Cat in conjunction with LACE in April.

The LACAC were super helpful with having this come together. I can't thank them enough. We would love to show the depth and diversity of LA art in the show. I have pasted the call for artists below. Please forward to artists you think would be interested in entering. Thanks so much.
Best,

Artists and Jordan Vineyard & Winery: Since 1976, the Jordan family has been heralded for its elegant wines, culinary excellence and gracious hospitality. Over the years, the Jordans have commissioned artists to capture the beauty of the winery chateau through the seasons – its ivy-draped façade, window boxes sprouting spring flowers, the antique clock above a sweeping balcony. To celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2012, Jordan Vineyard & Winery is bringing wine country to Los Angeles artists in their own backyard, challenging these talented professionals to create a commemorative work of art that combines the essence of Jordan wine with Los Angeles' distinct flavors of wine, food and design.

A panel of expert judges including Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE) director Carol Stakenas and noted art critic Shana Nys Dambrot, will select the top three works of art that meet the competition criteria. A top 40 will be selected to participate in a public exhibition presented by LACE at Black Cat Gallery in Culver City in April. The grand prize, first runner-up and second runner-up winners will be announced at this event and showcased at a private Jordan Winery event in Los Angeles later that month.
