  • Kennedy Center Announces Winter 2013 Artist Opportunities

    Posted Saturday January 05 2013 at 3:52 pm in Call For Artists

    VSA Artist Opportunities

    The Artist Services Team of the Kennedy Center's Department of VSA and Accessibility put together this list of notable opportunities in the visual and performing arts, for both emerging and established artists.

    Visual Arts Opportunities

    Exhibition: 50th Annual Juried Competition at Masur Museum of Art
    Deadline: January 11, 2013
    The Masur Museum of Art’s Annual Juried Competition showcases contemporary artists throughout the United States of America working in any medium.  George T.M. Shackelford, Senior Deputy Director of the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas, is the exhibit juror and a $1000 award will be given for Best in Show.

    Exhibition: States of Mind at the University of Maryland's Stamp Gallery
    Deadline: February 11, 2013
    The University of Maryland presents a unique opportunity for practicing artists: This is not an exhibition emphasizing principles or output of therapeutic art; instead, we seek artists whose work sheds light on the depth of mental health.  We hope a broad representation of ideas and interpretations on this theme will be submitted for review.  All mediums will be considered.  Please visit our mission page for more information about the gallery.  A total of $1500 is available for artist honorariums.  Both visual artists and poets alike are invited to apply.
