Call for Prince George’s Artists

I am pleased to share with and encourage you to apply to PG's newest call for entries and exhibition opportunity for Prince George’s County artists. This call is for Perspective: Prince George’s, the 2020 Annual Prince George’s Exhibition in Annapolis.  

This call is open to all artists who are 18 years of age or older who live, work, study, or have a studio in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Due to the nature of the exhibition space, only two-dimensional artworks that can be safely installed on hanging cables will be accepted. However, new for this year's exhibition, artists working in 3-dimensions; such as free standing sculpture, ceramics, found objects or any other medium or material that is molded, cast, carved, or assembled are also encouraged to submit high quality photographs of their work for consideration in this exhibition. If selected, a high quality print of the main face of the 3-dimensional work will be displayed in place of the piece. It will be the artist’s responsibility to print and frame the piece for display.

The exhibit will be at the Lowe House Office Building in Annapolis, MD from January 6 to April 6, 2020. All works to be included in the exhibition will be selected by Arts and Cultural Heritage Division staff with a focus in showing a broad range of artwork.

Click here for the flier that contains information for the exhibition and the application process.

All works for consideration must be submitted online at: 
m-ncppc.submittable.com. Please send any questions to Stuart Diekmeyer at stuart.diekmeyer@pgparks.com or Sara Caporaletti at sara.caporaletti@pgparks.com.
