WORDS, WORDS, WORDS | CALL FOR ENTRIES | AN INTERNATIONAL JURIED PHOTO EXHIBITION

Entry Deadline | Mar 31st, 2022

Notice of Acceptance | April 12th, 2022

Exhibition Dates | May 21st – June 4th, 2022

Theme:  Words, Words, Words | Juror: Dallas Crow

The old saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words,” seems to suggest that a photograph transcends language, but words have been a key part of many important photographers’ work—from the billboards and signs in many Walker Evans’ photos to Lee Friedlander’s 2019 book, Signs, for example.   The interplay of language and image can create a vivid sense of tension, irony, or poignance. The size and shapes of a font are visual aspects that can carry as much weight as any other aspect in the frame.

Word - Juried Competition and Exhibition

Word is a juried art competition and group art exhibition where artists explore the use of typography and/or writing as a subject or component of visual art. The show welcomes all mediums from digital graphic design to abstract wordplay in painting and mixed media, focusing on words and letterforms as art.
 

Cutting edge Hermosa Beach gallery is looking for the best working artists to feature in an upcoming group exhibition at ShockBoxx Gallery at the end of July, 2020. The top artist submissions will win a Cash Prize and Award Certificate, as well as receiving Featured Wall Space in the exhibition. Submit only the work that you like best.

Artworks will be judged based on creativity, originality, quality of work, composition, and overall artistic ability.
