BBA Artist Prize 2023

Atlantic Center for the Arts is an innovative nonprofit artists-in-residence program that provides artists with an opportunity to work, collaborate, and be mentored by some of the world’s most distinguished artists in the visual, literary and performing arts. Since the program began in 1982, over 3500 artists have been served from the US and worldwide.

The three-week Residency Program brings together three “Mentoring Artists” from different disciplines, such as the visual arts (painting, sculpture, photography, film/video, and multimedia), architecture, music (composition and performance), literature, choreography, dance, performance art, and theater. Each Mentoring Artist determines the requirements and basic structure of their residency, and through an online application process, they each may select up to eight “Associate Artists” to participate in the three-week program. The essence of the program is to provide a collegial environment for artists of all disciplines where they can engage in meaningful interaction and stimulating discussions, while pursuing individual or group projects. It is an ideal setting for the exchange of ideas, the inspiration for new work, and the cross-fertilization of disciplines. The programs can include formal classes, discussions, individual meetings, individual and group critiques, collaboration, and studio time. The award-winning Leeper Studio Complex provides residents with resources such as a painting studio, sculpture studio, digital media studio, dance studio, music/recording studio, writers’ studio, black box theatre and library.

The residency begins with an informal supper to introduce the artists to Atlantic Center and one another, and to discuss the schedule and format for the residency. Artists are given a tour of the grounds and the shared studio spaces. Private accommodations are provided for each artist. Associate Artists are provided with a private room with a full-size bed, bathroom with shower, small refrigerator, and desk space with a view of the natural vegetation. Mentoring Artists each have their own cottage that also includes a full kitchen and sitting area, as well as views of the surrounding landscape. Three meals a day are provided in the Whatmore Commons during the week to all artists; special dietary needs are accommodated. Meals are not provided on the weekends, however, ACA arranges transportation to the market twice a week and the kitchen facilities in the Whatmore Commons are available 24/7. The entire facility is handicap accessible and handicap-accessible rooms are available.

During their stay, Associates spend approximately two hours per day, Monday through Friday, working with their Mentoring Artist and their group in meetings, workshops, casual conversations and occasional recreational activities. When not with the Mentoring Artist, Associates are free to spend the remainder of their time pursuing their own projects. Studios are communal and shared, and are open to all artists 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 
 Interaction and collaboration with artists in other disciplines is encouraged but not required. In the first week of the residency, Associates have the opportunity during our brief introduction sessions to give a synopsis ranging from current projects, ideas, or a list of favorite things. This familiarizes the other artists and opens doors to collaboration among or between disciplines if they choose. 

 There are several free public events scheduled during each residency. An opening reception is held the first Friday of the residency in the Pabst Visitor Center & Gallery and is typically attended by members of ACA’s Board of Trustees, ACA patrons and members of the community. A closing reception and presentations of new work and works in-progress are presented on the final Thursday night in a program titled, “INsideOUT.” Although Associate participation is optional, INsideOUT is an opportunity for the public to witness examples of the Associate Artists’ work. This event could include adult content and is marketed for a mature audience. During the residency each Mentoring Artist is scheduled to give a lecture about their work and career. These public outreach programs often take place at partnering institutions, and ACA will arrange for the Associates’ transportation to these off-site events.

With an interdisciplinary approach, the course provides practical training and experience within museums and exhibition settings, in order to increase students understanding of the intellectual and technical tasks of the curator figure.

UPWARD Gallery invites artists worldwide to submit artwork to our juried art exhibition and competition, Flowers.

Flowers and the symbols attributed to them are one of those themes that permeate art from ancient times to modern painting. This is not surprising – after all, flowers are present in a person's life from his birth until his death, appearing at the most significant moments. And artists give flowers eternity, capturing them in their works.

All artists 18 and older are encouraged to submit their work in any medium, style, and genre.

Acceptable mediums include all traditional art media (e.g., oil, watercolor, acrylic, pastel, mixed media, gouache, egg tempera, pen and ink; drawing media such as graphite, charcoal, colored pencils, scratch board, markers, metal point), digital painting, arts and crafts (beadwork, pottery, embroidery, floristry, batik, stained glass, two-dimensional collage and fabric art as well, etc.).

All accepted pieces will be displayed in our online gallery at upwardgallery.com. 

The winners (1st place) are interviewed by the UPWARD Gallery editors for publication in the printed edition UPWARD’s Quarterly and on our site.

Each entrant of the competition receives a personal page (solo exhibition) in the UPWARD gallery. Selected works will be featured in curated galleries on our site. All entrants will receive digital certificates based on the results of the competition.

Entry fee: $12 for entry, $10 (2-4 entries), $9 (5 or more entries). $6 for entry - for artists under 22 years.

Deadline: February 28, 2023.

LAST MINUTE CALL FOR ARTISTS

AVE22 MetaGallery would likes to invite artists to take part in its “alive” open call.

OVERVIEW
Rather than setting a topic for the future exhibition, we would like to stress its technical details. 
We would like to experiment with “making artworks live”. In our case, we will add a very simple animation just to make a feel that it is alive.
You can view an example of such work at the open call page at: https://www.ave22.org/alive 

As for the topic, we will definitely be glad to see artworks that are moving, that are in motion, that are live. 
Though the effect could be added to nearly any artwork, it is definitely better to supplement the motion to the already conveyed movement message contained in the artwork.
