The Emerging Artist Award supports the creation of new work by emerging artists in California—and the opportunity to share that work through an exhibit and an artist talk at the Pence Gallery.
The artist selected must use the award of $4,000 to further their work in a significant direction, and may work in any medium, except video or sound.
In this competition, “emerging” is defined as an artist who is early in their art career, who has limited experience exhibiting, but not an extensive solo exhibit history. The artist’s submitted work must be of high caliber, original, and completed within the past five years.
Applications must include a resume, artist statement, and 5-10 digital images of current work, via www.callforentry.org by 9p, April 4, 2024. Application fee is $30 ($25 for Pence members); winner will be announced by April 30th.
