Rise Art - Open Call

Rise Art is a social community for artists to build a dedicated following around their practice, while collectors to view and collect that work. 

We are now accepting submissions to become one of our featured artists - including the opportunity to exhibit and sell your work online, in London and the USA.  Interested artists can participate free of charge at: www.riseart.com/art/submit.

The rolling submission is open to all contemporary artists.  Submit your artwork directly to the website and then engage directly with the Rise Art community and collector base.  Rise Art provides social tools, event listings, and interactive features that can drive your awareness and support your practice.

Each month, the Rise Art Insiders select artists across the site to have their work featured and sold on the platform.  Artists’ works are sold and promoted alongside established artists including Bruce McLean, Tracey Emin, Gavin Turk and Sir Peter Blake amongst others. Featured artists are also supported in exhibitions and commissioned for art projects and installations.

Designed to showcase, rent and sell great contemporary art from both established artists and emerging talents, riseart.com enables art lovers to find and buy artworks they love, discover new artists and obtain personalised recommendations from art insiders.

Applications now open: NewYork City Visual Artists Artadia Awards 2015

Artadia is pleased to announce its inaugural New York Awards. The online application is now open to all visual artists living within the five boroughs, working in any media, and at any stage in their career. The application will close on April 15th, and funds will be distributed to Award recipients in summer 2015. The 2015 New York Awardees will each receive up to $20,000 in unrestricted funds and will gain access to a lifetime of professional support.

Artadia Awardees are selected through a two-tiered jury process that combines local expertise with outside perspective from leading national curators and artists. A preliminary panel will evaluate all submissions and select ten Finalists based on the merit of their work. A second panel of curators will then conduct studio visits in New York with the Finalists, gaining a broader context for the artists’ work. In May 2015, up to five Awardees will be selected and announced from the Finalist pool.

The New York Artadia Awards are open to any artist who has lived within New York City's five boroughs for two or more years, and is not currently enrolled in an art-related degree program. Artadia's application is free of charge and does not require a project outline. We highly encourage artists to apply if they are interested in having their work seen by a panel of prominent curators and artists.
