CALL FOR ARTISTS
The New Bedford Art Museum presents Synergies: Hybrid Art, a juried exhibition inviting submissions from artists working in all media. This call seeks works that merge artistic disciplines, materials, and technologies to create innovative forms of expression. Synergies: Hybrid Art is open to artists internationally.
The exhibition is juried by Amy Lemaire & Nicolas Touron, an artist duo based in Brooklyn, NY, whose collaborative practice explores materiality, form, and the intersection of natural and constructed environments. Working across diverse media, their work bridges the disciplines of sculpture, glass, and installation, creating immersive visual narratives that challenge perception and engage the senses.
HOW TO SUBMIT
Entry fee: $40 for 5 images
Additional $5 per image after your fifth image. (max 20 images)
Application Requirements
All work must be original, designed, and created by the artist applicant
Works may be 2D or 3D
Submit your images and other materials online via CaFÉ. Only digital images uploaded to CaFÉ will be accepted and reviewed. Physical submissions delivered to the Art Museum will not be reviewed.
Work needs to arrive at the gallery ready to hang but framing is not required. Magnets, clips, and other methods can be used.
Artwork may not be larger than 40 inches on the longest side.
The artist must provide return prepaid postage or pre-paid return shipping label for work and packaging or arrange for drop off and pick-up
Submitted work must be available for the duration of the exhibition
Submitted images must be the same as the works intended for the exhibition. Unfinished or “like” work will not be considered. Work that has been modified from the original image submitted will not be accepted. Do not include borders or backgrounds in images as this only reduces the size of your artwork for viewing by jurors.
Eligibility Criteria
All artists are encouraged to apply. New Bedford Art Museum values the arts as a universal language and recognizes it is crucial to be an organization that integrates equity, diversity, inclusion, and access into everything we do.
All submissions should relate to the theme of Hybrid Art in either material, process, or concept.
