Greenpoint Gallery Open Call Virtual Show

Win $500 and a Solo Show

After the huge success of our first few Online Virtual Art Shows, we are now accepting submissions for the next one! For artists who tried to enter past the deadline and for those of you who had inquiries about the next opportunity, we have decided to hold another show with a deadline of November 2nd for submissions. After a short break, we've done our best to fix bugs within our entry form, and prepare it for new submissions. 

 

In the seventeen years since its founding, Greenpoint Gallery has faced its share of crises, some more challenging than others. However, the collective volume of the current emergency and its undeniable effect on each one of us is something we can’t fix through troubleshooting alone. Our primary goal as a community arts organization, other than opening our doors again, is to continue to provide a venue for local artists. If the only way we can currently do this is virtually, we’d like to make the best of it by holding our first post- pandemic open call and exhibition. We’d love to hear from our regulars as well as anyone looking to share their work on our online platform. The creative process can be isolating even without the current circumstances at play, and we encourage submissions in any medium in the hopes that a group exhibition can reduce the distance between fellow artists and provide further inspiration. Your ideas and efforts as painters, illustrators, photographers, printmakers and sculptors remain relevant as markers of time, place and identity and we can’t afford to lose them now. 

In addition to this being a great opportunity for artists to display, sell, and showcase their works during these times. We would also like to take this opportunity to create a fundraising opportunity for The Greenpoint Gallery, as truthfully, we could use all the help we can get. Just as in our salon shows, we will be using our "People's Choice Salon Show" format, but with a fundraising twist. Artists and patrons will be able to vote for their favorite artists/works via our virtual gallery. Each vote will cost $1, with a minimum requirement of 3 different votes! All voting proceeds will go to combat the financial hardships suffered at The Greenpoint Gallery during the times of COVID-19, as we are unable to have our traditional events and space rentals.

There winner of the Popular Vote in our online show will receive a $500 cash prize and a solo show at The Greenpoint Gallery when we open back up for business (as soon as we can!). There will also be an additional "Curator's Choice" winner (selected by gallery owner Shawn James) who will also receive their own Solo Show when we can open back up.
