DigitalArt4Climate

The DigitalArt4Climate Art Competition, organized by IAAI GloCha in collaboration with the UN-Habitat youth programme, Unique Network, Social Alpha Foundation,  Exquisite Workers, HubZine and Palette69 wants to inspire and promote climate action through the power of culture and technology and empower the uptake of digital innovation by the creative community in an accessible and meaningful way.

HUMANITY CHALLENGED BY CLIMATE CHANGE

We welcome you to submit a creation that embodies your personal interpretation of the ’humanity challenged by climate change’ theme and to reimagine the impact creators can have on the world and on healing of our Mother Earth. In terms of visual storytelling we are envisioning 3 sub-themes: Storm, Haven and Angel. 
These are just a few ideas and should in no way limit the artist into how the theme can be represented.

NFT PLATFORM

The DigitalArt4Climate’s features include – based on its use of the Unique Network NFT platform -  full proof-of-stake (PoS) infrastructure with Polkadot and Kusama (a sustainable blockchain and approach to NFTs), decentralized media storage, credit-card & crypto payments, automatic collaborator splits and payments on primary and secondary markets, customizable royalties, and the ability to create positive impact and undertake the climate change action.

The selected Artworks which enter the public voting of the Art Competition and the COP26 collection will automatically enter the auction in summer 2022 on the NFT marketplace and will receive a share of 15 % of the net revenues or gross proceeds from the auction (NFT sales) on the primary market if there are any. DigitalArt4Climate will promote the winning Artists’ names. Any remaining proceeds will benefit youth climate action projects as well as global technical and institutional Action for Climate Empowerment support infrastructure development, including World Environment Situation Room Youth engagement programme. Creative direction may be provided to the Artist for final release on the website and the DigitalArt4Climate public voting.

Artists whose artwork will be shortlisted for the Art Competition by the curators, but who do not make it into the initial DigitalArt4Climate COP26 collection, will nevertheless have the opportunity to have prime-access to the DigitalArt4Climate NFT marketplace platform during its first months live (summer 2022).

Grey Cube Gallery

Grey Cube Gallery proudly presents the second Monochrome online art contest for the month of November 2021.

Fabrica

The In Between Gallery is a temporary exhibition platform for Fabrica’s picture window in central Brighton. This exciting initiative is now in its fifth year. 
 
Fabrica is partnering with Spectrum Photographic, Photo Fringe and Loupe Magazine to present excellent photographic work by UK-based artists who consider themselves to be early to mid-career. 
 
The judging panel will be made up of our partners as well as being joined by photographer and curator Ibrahim Azab, currently exhibiting in the In Between Gallery and independent curator Cairo Clarke.


About
There is no theme to address but artists are asked to submit a work that will function well within the context of a large format print set within the window frame.. Measurements are approximately: 270cm x 225.5cm. 
 
The window faces directly onto Duke Street, one of Brighton’s busiest pedestrianised quarters, located between The Lanes and Churchill Square, two very popular shopping destinations. The main city centre pubs and clubs are also nearby so the street is normally busy into the evening and throughout the night.
 
The image would be exhibited from early December 2021 – mid-February 2022 when there is no large-scale exhibition in Fabrica’s main space.  
 
One artist/artist group and one image will be selected.

Emily

Hi There! 

We are producing an immersive experience and searching for a CGI / video artist to join our team to create content for projection mapping in a large environment, most likely a dome. We have a production team that will be able to assist in adapting the content for the projections if necessary.  

The photo attached (link below)  is a screenshot from our current video. We are interested in works that relate to this, are generative, and also flow into new ideas. 

 Our timeline for the project is 3 months.  

 This is a paid job, please send some samples / links to your work, and current availability.  

 Looking forward to hearing from all of you. 

x Emily.
