Submit work for the 14th annual No Dead Artists Juried Exhibition of Contemporary Art.
The No Dead Artists exhibition was founded in 1995 to give a voice to emerging artists. The exhibition’s name is derived from the old adage that artists never achieve any success until they die. No Dead Artists turns that on its head and gives emerging artists their first break into the art world. In the 90’s, the exhibition was open only to New Orleans artists and then it grew to include artists of Louisiana.
The exhibition has been a springboard for many artists, leading to press coverage, national recognition, gallery representation and acquisitions by museums and other prominent collections. Each year gallery owner, Jonathan Ferrara, invites a panel of renowned arts professional and collectors to select the newest creative talents. Past jurors have included Prospect.1 Founder and Curator Dan Cameron, Museum Director Billie Milam Weisman, Artist Tony Fitzpatrick, MacArthur Fellow John Scott and Ogden Museum Director David Houston.

Submit a proposal for the ArtPrize 2010 competition.
ArtPrize is a platform for creation, an event that you can take into your own hands, located in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
We can all agree that art is important. It’s only with questions about “which art?” or “why?” that we start to disagree. ArtPrize is an event where, for two weeks, everyone can find a way to put the fundamental belief that art is important into action.
The vote is not a way to discover the “best” art. It is the action to get everyone talking about art.
The prize is not a reward for the most important achievement. It is the world’s largest excuse to get creative and try something new.
For two weeks, a giant community forms around a grand and common project based on the belief that art is important. We believe that is worth far more than the prize money.

Submit work for Real Art D.C., the Washington Post’s new platform for contemporary art in the Washington region.
Real Art D.C. is an online virtual gallery of works by local artists that will allow Post readers to discover and connect with Washington’s newest talents. Artists themselves will post their own work- along with dealers and teachers on their behalf- and anyone can click through and see the spectrum of local creativity.
Next month the Galleries columnist will begin sifting through the uploads to Real Art D.C. and picking 10 artists from the virtual gallery to spotlight in a new online feature.
Throughout the spring and summer, she will choose a new artist-finalist every few weeks and visit the artist’s studio, reporting about what she finds on the Real Art D.C. site. The 10th finalist will be selected sometime after Sept. 30, the last day of submissions to Real Art D.C.
Once the top 10 are chosen, voting will open so that washingtonpost.com users can choose the finalist they like best. The winning artist will be profiled in The Washington Post (and, of course, online).
