In the 14th century, paper became a popular medium for drawing and painting in Europe. The invention of printmaking in the 15th century further elevated paper's importance in art. CollexArt invites artists to submit original 2D works on paper whether traditional or experimental. Eligible submissions include, but are not limited to: drawings, paintings, printmaking, photographs, and collages.
About CollexArt
CollexArt is a curated online gallery where artists are often discovered through art calls held throughout the year. Featured artists have received awards such as Cash Awards, Purchase Awards, Artist Profile Pages, and Sponsored Artist Websites. We also occasionally select new work to add to our online exhibits.
The Purchase Award is intended to support the selected artist/s with meaningful recognition as part of the CollexArt Collection. We will award a Purchase Award of $1000 at the conclusion of the call. The $1000 Purchase Award may be given to one artist or shared among 2 to 3 artists. The Purchase Award winner/s will be showcased in the CollexArt website.
The CollexArt Grand Prize of $5,000 – will identify a single artwork as the best of the year. The Grand Prize will be awarded in March of 2025. The prize will go towards the acquisition of the artwork, including if applicable, production, framing, shipping and customs costs.
Submitting artists (including the Purchase Award winner/s) may be invited to have their own in-depth Artist Profile Page.
Depending on the work that gets submitted we sometimes find opportunities to put together a new online solo or group exhibit. CollexArt online exhibits are permanently displayed in our site.
3 artists will be awarded one-year of the FolioLink artist website service. This award is intended to help artists who can benefit from a sponsored website.
*If you are a Purchase Award winner you understand that Kodexio (CollexArt developer / owner) intends to acquire your work. Artists submitting for the Purchase Award should value their work in accordance with prior sales history or the amount a gallery would pay for the work without their commission fee added.
