Boston Biennial 5
April 2018
A Wicked Good Juried Exhibition of Contemporary Art
Presented by The Biennial Project
shown at Atlantic Works Gallery, EasBoston, MA
Prospectus
The Biennial Project is proud and excited to announce an open call to artists worldwide for Boston Biennial 5 - an online juried competition and digital presentation being held at Atlantic works Gallery in trendsetting East Boston this spring!!
Submit your work, and add your vision to the colossus that will be the Boston Biennial 5.
If your work is selected for inclusion in the BB5, it will be shown in digital galleries on the website of The Biennial Project. It will also be presented in a blog posting reaching 40,000 (yes, really) of the top brass in the art world. It will also be displayed on a digital projection for the entire month of April 2018 at the BB5's primary venue, Atlantic Works Gallery, a member-run collective and artist community that is far too sexy for Berlin, New York, and Abu Dhabi. It will be shown as part of The Biennial Project's Manifest Destiny exhibition.
BB5 will be juried by the internationally feared artists of The Biennial Project and a celebrity juror (to be announced). In addition to the work of finalists that will be featured on the website, blog posting and in the digital display in Atlantic Works Gallery, The Biennial Project will pick prizewinners from the 8 categories of photography, painting/drawing, mixed media/collage, sculpture, installation, video, performance, and ‘other’. A special juror’s prize will be awarded by our celebrity juror. If your work is chosen as a prizewinner, you will be invited to display your winning piece in it's physical and tangible 3D entirety in the gallery as well (any shipping costs paid by the artist). There will be 2 (at least) gala receptions during the course of Boston Biennial 5 - which all included artists will be invited to of course.
Additionally, we send out Entry Sampler Email Blasts several times during the lead up to the contest, highlighting some of the most interesting work that we have received. We also highlight entries a few times a week on our social media sites. So many chances to have your work seen by others!
