Ventura County Artist Showcase: “UNmasking”
Past entry “The Usual Suspects” by Pamela Grau
Submission Deadline:
December 30, 2021
Exhibition dates:
January 22 – April 9, 2022
Submission fees: Up to three projects may be submitted for consideration. Submit 1 project for $20, 2 projects for a total of $30, or 3 projects for a total of $35.
Ventura County Arts Council invites you to submit proposals for art to be displayed in Ventura storefront windows.
What does a face reveal? What might it hide? How has masking affected our relationships? Portraiture explores identity through the lens of its time. Our long period of masking has unleashed new feelings and habits. Do we see ourselves and each other in new ways? “UNmasking” will take a look at portraiture now and what it can express representationally or abstractly.
Selected artists will conceive of each window as a diorama, a space in which an installation of accumulation, sculptural pieces, work in any medium uses the three-dimensional space dynamically.
Each window will be dedicated to a unified installation created by a single artist, or created as a collaborative project by more than one artist. The location of the exhibition space is on a busy section of Victoria Ave. at Moon Dr. in Ventura.
