PROSPECTUS (PDF)

This exhibition will bring together artists whose work deals with space, inclusion or absence. Many artists pay close attention to the “negative space” in their work, and often what is not included or that which is in-between is just as important as what is. For this exhibition, we are looking for works that explore this territory, either in a conceptual or formal way.

ELIGIBILITY All Mid-Atlantic artists (DC,VA, MD, PA, NJ, DE, WV) are invited to submit up to four digital images (jpegs) of 2 or  3-dimensional, installation or video works completed within the last two years and not previously exhibited at MPA. Works that move beyond traditional forms and media are encouraged. Works must fit through a 81" x 65" doorway.

AWARDS Cash prizes totaling $1,500 will be awarded by the juror. Decisions are final.

ENTRY FEE $25. Fee waived for current MPA members. Fee includes one-year artist membership in MPA. Make checks payable to McLean Project for the Arts.

IMAGES Artists may submit up to four digital images on a CD or up to 10 minutes of recorded material. Please do not email submissions.
