Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center invites emerging and established artists to submit original artworks to ‘POP! Art with Mass Appeal.’ This exhibition seeks to showcase artworks that capture the essence of or provide commentary on pop art's evolution in the digital age. Artists are encouraged to delve into the vibrant world of popular media and consumer culture, exploring how it shapes and redefines our views on each other, society, and the world. From traditional pop art aesthetics, to internet memes and viral fame, to music and television references, popular animation and illustration styles, logos and icons, we invite artists to interpret this theme with creativity, imagination, satire, and/or a sense of humor. This show seeks art that embraces bold colors, dynamic compositions, and a graphic style that defines the heart of pop art. Whether through traditional mediums or digital formats, we are looking for artwork that visually resonates with the energy, intensity--and even the absurdity-- of contemporary popular culture. ‘POP! Art with Mass Appeal’ is open to all media. 2-D and 3-D artwork, indoor and outdoor work will be considered. Digital artists must provide all display equipment, but please be aware our gallery is full of windows and natural light. Projections don’t work well in this space. All work must be created within the last four years. Artists must be 18 years or older. Artists must be living and working in the United States. See links for details.
