Art Scene West

Art Scene West Film Festival

Art Scene West is excited to announce the inaugural Art Scene West Film Festival. Partnering with local San Diego non-profit ArtReach, proceeds from this event will contribute to their mission of providing art education to San Diego County with the guiding principles of cultivating artistic community and equitable access to art for all.

Call for The Surreal Spectacle

We seek to lure those who delve into the weird and unknown crevices of their boundless imagination to bring forth a viewing spectacle that is oddly attractive. Those unafraid to portray the bizarre, counterculture truths hiding in the shadows of plain sight are encouraged to submit. We welcome all mediums of 2D and 3D art that are meant to challenge the viewer's mind and cause a stir of wonder and intrigue to the precipice of delirium. This call will showcase unusual sights from bright artists who are unashamed of their discontentment of the status quo. Conformity is not welcomed, for we wish to celebrate the timeless absurdity of Surrealism from contemporary artists, worldwide. Welcome to The Surreal Spectacle. 

DETAILS

Sports Fan Art Call

Art Scene West introduces its Sports Fan Art Call, seeking fan art that celebrates sports culture and the cherished fans who make it possible. All mediums of artwork are welcomed to submit, and those pieces that embody the spirit, excitement, dedication, and thrill of the game, will be considered to showcase in our seaside gallery in downtown San Diego, California. From iconic on-field moments, nostalgic memories, stadiums, logos, mascots, players, coaches, and culture, we want to show our public the best sports fan art there is. This is an international open call.

DETAILS

  • All 2D, hanging artwork should not exceed 30” on its longest side or an additional fee will be required if selected to participate in the exhibition.  

3 Dimensional

ABOUT THE CALL

Art Scene West is calling all 3D artists for a unique opportunity to have their small sculptures displayed inside our seaside gallery. This is an open call opportunity for artists worldwide to submit images of their standing art for us to review and select for their place in our gallery-exhibition and exposure to our diverse audience. 20 selected pieces will be on display for over a month and added to our gallery’s pristine collection of masterful paintings and photographs.  

DETAILS

  • Sculptures must not be larger than 16” high x 8” wide x 8” deep, and must not exceed 35 lbs in weight. 

  • Sculptures must stand alone on a flat surface.

Exhibition of Realism

For centuries the skill of recording scenery, subjects, and historical events through hand-crafted artworks were relied upon by society to understand the imagery associated with the civilized and uncivilized world around them. That skill evolved over time as devoted artists strived to depict their images as closely as possible to the real thing, setting new standards for artists that would last forever. Art Scene West wants to celebrate this genre of Realism and the contemporary masters who carry on that tradition. 

Abstract call for Artists

Art Scene West is opening its submission doors to Abstract Artists everywhere! From this call opportunity, up to 20 artists will be selected to have their unique paintings adorn the walls of our downtown San Diego gallery for 2 months beginning October 4th - November 30th. During that time artists' work will also be displayed on our Online Gallery and promoted on our social media channels and website. Our gallery is located in Seaport Village of downtown San Diego, a beautiful attraction where tourists and locals gather to enjoy the seaside businesses, luxury restaurants, and beautiful Southern California weather.
