DEADLINE JANUARY 23, 2012 - $2950 in Awards
We are excited to announce our third annual national juried art show, Wide Open 3 and its very prestigious juror—Charlotta Kotik, Curator Emerita of Contemporary Art at the Brooklyn Museum of Art. With her direction, we look forward to a really awesome show. $2950 in cash prizes will be awarded including $1000 Best in Show. The exhibit runs Mar 18 – Apr 1, 2012.The broad theme of “Wide Open 3″ encompasses all the possibilities of knowledge and freedom and love—wide open spaces…arms wide open…eyes wide open—but as with all things, there is the inevitable opposite—wide open to attack…corruption…failure. What kind of fantasy is this? What does it really indicate? This juried show looks to explore this idea of “wide open” in all the hidden niches of our collective psyche. Ours is a truly unique gallery—a massive Civil War-era warehouse on the Red Hook waterfront in Brooklyn, NY.
