Call to Artists - Slice: A Juried Exhibit of Regional Art

The Pence’s Slice exhibit is open to all artists residing in California, and is juried this year by Faith J. McKinnie, independent curator and art consultant. The exhibit showcases art that is conceptually thoughtful, technically skilled, and representative of contemporary trends in art. Work may be in any medium except for sound or video, but must not exceed 36” wide for 2D work. There are no size restrictions for three-dimensional work. Accepted work should be original and completed within the past five years. To apply, submit 1-3 images at www.callforentry.org, pay $30 ($35 for non-members). Awards will be awarded based on the Juror’s choice and are $400, $300, $200. Deadline for entry online is May 28, 9 PM PST.
