THIS ART CALL HAS ENDED
We wish to thank all of the artists who submitted to Color Sense. We received works from painters, photographers, printmakers, stained glass artists, mixed media artists, digital artists, textile artists, and sculptors. Artists hailed from Australia, Bangladesh, Belgium, Benin, Brazil, Canada, Georgia, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Iran, Korea, Mexico, Panama, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Russian Federation, Singapore, Thailand, Uganda, United Kingdom, and the United States.
We are always looking for artists whose work we wish to promote and support.
Our Approach
As we consider work for inclusion in CollexArt, we are interested in the idea and concepts behind your work and its execution. Factors such as prior accomplishments, education, the creation date of the work are not relevant in our selection process.
What inspires our curiosity may be unique to us, and therefore, not being selected should not be seen as anything other than not a match for our current selection criteria and mix of reviewers.
Call Details for Color Sense
CollexArt seeks artworks that express the artist’s ideas about color. In 1963, Josef Albers published the Interaction of Color which shared his thought process that colors are “governed by an internal and deceptive logic.” The artist’s approach to color is personal and intuitive. Through study and/or personal insight, artists have an inherent sense of the play of color in their work whether they are involved in abstract studies or using color to elicit associations.
Artists are asked to submit work that addresses the studied use of color, where color is a big part of the artist’s toolset and is what makes the work complete. Subject matter is open.
Purchase Award of $1,000*
One artist will be awarded the Purchase Award at the conclusion of this call (see previous winners).
Artist Profile Page Award
Submitting artists (including the Purchase Award winner) may be invited to have their own in-depth Artist Profile Page, have their work included in the CollexArt Store and in the curated Online Exhibit Space.
Finalist CollexArt Annual Grand Prize of $5,000
This award identifies a single artwork as the best of the year. The Grand Prize will be awarded in March of 2021. Artists who are selected for Purchase Awards, Artist Profile Pages, Exhibit Space in CollexArt or for the CollexArt store are registered as finalists for the prize.
Additional Artist Exposure
Artists whose work catches the attention of the curators, but who do not receive a Purchase Award or an Artist Profile Page, may be invited for exposure in the CollexArt Selected Works Forum.
CollexArt Sponsored Artist Websites & Membership
All participants are eligible for a complimentary one year CollexArt membership. Those just starting out, and who have never had a professional artist portfolio website can request a CollexArt sponsored website for a year (domain name is not included).
* Purchase Award
The Purchase Award is intended to support the selected artists with meaningful recognition as part of the CollexArt Private Patron Collection. When submitting artwork to this call for entry, you can tag images for the Purchase Award and/or for CollexArt Exhibition.
The Purchase Award funds $1000 for the acquisition of any one artwork you tagged for the Purchase Award. If an artwork you tagged for the Purchase Award is selected, you understand that the CollexArt Patrons intend to acquire your work for $1,000. Artists submitting for the Purchase Award should value their work in accordance with prior sales history or an established gallery purchase value of similar works. If your submitted work is valued under the $1,000 Purchase Award amount, we may contact you to acquire additional pieces up to the Purchase Award amount.
CollexArt pays for the shipping of all artwork acquired through the Purchase Award. In the case of an international acquisition, CollexArt Patrons pay for customs and importation fees.
In the rare case that no artist is identified as the Purchase Award winner, at the conclusion of a call for entry, CollexArt will refund all artist submission fees.
