Artist Competitions
Welcome to the PMS Artwork Artist Competitions Submission Page
I am a professional full-time artist and painter myself and have been working in Los Angeles and the art world for the last 18 years. Over the years, I have made some wonderful contacts and been part of some pretty amazing artistic opportunities. I thought that it would be a great idea to work with other artists by developing some Art Competitions with Cash Prizes, Certificates, and Gallery Exhibition Opportunities based on some of these experiences and contacts. Unlike most art competitions, this is run with an artist's mindset and I promise to keep you (us), the artist in mind with everything I do and strive to offer down the road.
Through these competitions, artists will be competing to win Cash Prizes and Award Certificates as well participating in Gallery Exhibitions, sometimes together and sometimes separately. Winners' work and personal website link will also be displayed on the Past Competition Winners page for them to link to and reference. With every competition that you submit to, you will automatically be entered into a pool of artists to keep in mind for future exhibition opportunities. I am thrilled to be currently working and partnering with the infamous ShockBoxx Gallery in Hermosa Beach for the current and future competitions/gallery exhibition opportunities.
NEW COMPETITION
Don't Touch Your Face
So here we go, locked down and headed into the unknown. Nobody knows what the next hour holds right now. What we do know is that the creatives have a moment to capture and a story to tell. This show is currently planned to open in June. We are making this a long open call because we want you to capture this experience as it unfolds. Circumstances and information are going to be evolving or devolving on the fly and we want you to know, we are in it with you. One way or another, the show goes on.
This is an Open Call to ALL MEDIUMS and artists from ALL LOCATIONS.
Cutting edge Hermosa Beach gallery is looking for the best working artists to feature in an upcoming group exhibition at ShockBoxx Gallery in June of 2020. The top artist submissions will win a Cash Prize and Award Certificate, as well as receiving Featured Wall Space in the exhibition. Since the call is open to all mediums, we leave it up to you to choose your very best artwork that fits your own experience during this pandemic. We are interested in gathering a wide variety of experiences to paint a broader picture that will not only capture the perspective of the artist, but also of what it has been like to live through this as a human being and a culture as a whole.
Artworks will be judged based on creativity, originality, quality of work, composition, and overall artistic ability.
Competition will also be featured on ARTSY.
Cash Prizes to top three pieces selected by jury.
Jurors: Leah Perrino, Astrid Parker, Preston M. Smith, Scott Meskill and Mike Collins.
ENTRY DEADLINE: Submit your entries from now until May 15th, 2020.
