Call for Artists: Other Worlds, Other Stories

Deadline for Submissions is June 21, 2015
 
WPA is seeking submissions for its upcoming exhibition Other Worlds, Other Stories. Curated by my good bud Jeffry Cudlin,  Other Worlds, Other Stories is a group exhibition exploring notions of outer space. The exhibition will take place from January 6 - February 20, 2016 at the WPA's new home at 2112 8th Street NW, Washington, DC 20001 in The JBG Companies new Atlantic Plumbing Building.

Considering that I've always thought that JC is from another world (note his alien-like height and long extremities), I think that he's the perfect juror for this show!

WPA is seeking seeking work by contemporary artists who are thinking deeply about outer space-either what it will look like when we get there, or how it might allow us to change as a society.
The call is open to all artists regardless of media used or geographic location.
 
Artists do not need to be WPA members and there is no submission fee.
 
Submissions may be for existing work or proposals for new projects to take place before or during the exhibition.
 
Selected artists will receive a $250 honorarium.
 
Submissions will only be accepted online via their online submission form. Deadline for submissions is June 21, 2015.
 
Questions can be directed to Samantha May, Program Director at smay@wpadc.org.
