Call for Entries for Juried Exhibition of Regional Emerging Artists at DCCC
(Delaware and Chester Counties, PA - July 25, 2024)—The Call for Entries is open for the Gallery at Delaware County Community College’s 215/610 CONTEMPORARY Juried Exhibition, an annual exhibition that features the work of emerging artists living and working in and around the Philadelphia region.
Submissions will be collected until September 5, 2024 at 5 p.m. ET. Regional, emerging artists are invited to submit up to three pieces for consideration. A non-refundable $15 fee is required at the time of submission. The “emerging artist” is an artist that has established a style of working and creates professional work yet does not have gallery representation. Eligible artists must reside in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware or Maryland. Of the accepted artists, four will be chosen to receive monetary awards, which include Juror’s Choice ($400), First Place ($300), Second Place ($200) and Third Place ($100).
The 2024 exhibition will be presented in the College Art Gallery (901 South Media Line Road, Media, PA 19063) from November 4 through December 13, 2024. It will be juried by photographer and educator Byron Wolfe, whose work is held in over thirty permanent collections around the world including The George Eastman Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Getty, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston. He is professor and Art Department chair at Temple University’s Tyler School of Art and Architecture.
The purpose of this juried exhibition is to showcase local emerging contemporary artists, create a platform for critical discourse through an exchange of ideas, and push the boundaries of an age-old practice. More information, including how to submit work for consideration, can be found here or at dccc.edu/215610. For additional information and questions, please contact Caitlin Flaherty at cflaherty@dccc.edu or 610-359-5266.
