Art Museum Seeking Submissions From Artists in Contra Costa County

by Karina Ioffee

The Marin Contemporary Museum of Art (MOCA) is inviting Bay Area artists to submit their work for consideration of being displayed in a juried exhibit at the museum.

The goal of the competition is to choose five "emerging” artists who will be given an opportunity to exhibit either a body of work or a site-specific installation within a portion of the museum gallery. The museum is located at the former Hamilton Air Force Base in Novato, California. 

Artists must be 18 years and over and have completed the works in the past three years. For the purposes of this exhibition the definition of emerging artist is: an artist who is the principal creator of new work, shows significant potential yet is under-recognized, and who has some evidence of professional achievement but not a substantial record of accomplishments. 

Artists must submit 10 digital images of their work by January 14 to be considered. If proposing a site-specific installation please include a brief description of concept with supporting images. A visit to the museum gallery prior to entry would be advisable.
