This art call has no specific theme, allowing artists the freedom to explore subject matter and ideas that are meaningful to them. We encourage artists to submit works that convey the concepts behind their creations, along with an artist statement that supports their work. Please submit between 3 and 20 pieces of artwork in any medium except video, film, animated GIFs, and AI-generated images. Artists have the option to identify any or all of their pieces for the $1,000 Purchase Award awarded at the conclusion of this call. Additionally, all entries will be considered for the Grand Prize Award of $5,000*, which will recognize the most outstanding artwork of our 12-month competition cycle to be awarded in March 2025.
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 CollexArt Submission Highlights.
About The 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 identify artwork for the Purchase Award and/or for CollexArt Exhibition.
The Purchase Award of $1000 will be given to one artist. If an artwork you tagged for the Purchase Award is selected for this award, 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 the amount a gallery would pay for your work without their commission fee added.
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.
Please note that it is possible that one person is awarded both the Grand Prize Award and the Purchase Award.
