Call For Entry: Vices
Vices is an exhibition exploring behaviors and concepts associated with immorality. This questioning could lead to insightful discussions about cultural differences, personal beliefs, and the evolving nature of morality. Vices delves into cultural, historical, and ethical dimensions of immoral behaviors, encouraging discussions that transcend boundaries, challenge biases, and contribute to a more nuanced understanding of human values and ethics. Examples include but certainly aren’t limited to blasphemy, corruption, drinking, drugs, gambling, gluttony, greed, and promiscuity.
Vices is an international juried group exhibition open to artists ages 18 and older. All forms of two-dimensional, traditional, and non-conventional art media (e.g., digital and film photography, video, oil painting, watercolor, acrylic, mixed media, collage, drawing media such as graphite, charcoal, pencils, pen and ink, arts and crafts, etc.) are welcome for submission.

$2500 New Project grant for visual artists based in Los Angeles
Prospect Art invites Los Angeles-based visual artists to participate in our NEW WORK Focus on Los Angeles initiative. This grant supports innovative projects aligned with contemporary themes, providing $2,500 to seven selected projects. Three grants are earmarked for web-based, new media, sound, or time-based works, while the remaining four are allocated to visual arts projects in different mediums. Please note that you can submit only one project in one category, and we will assist in categorizing it appropriately if needed.
Our primary aim with this commissioning grant is to provide a supportive space where professional visual artists can expand their creative horizons. We aspire to empower artists to push the boundaries of their creativity, embrace artistic risks, and embark on uncharted creative journeys. These projects should be self-contained and achievable within a 4-month timeframe and within the budget we provide. Your projects should be in the initial planning stages, and the NEW WORK grant will fully fund the development of your artwork.
This exceptional opportunity is open to both individual artists and collectives, with each project receiving financial backing to bring it to fruition. Moreover, 10-12 artists will be selected for virtual studio visits with our review committee. The selected projects, whether created by one artist or a collective, will have the opportunity to be featured in our ONE WORK or BROADCAST series upon completion, providing a platform for the community to engage with the art.
We welcome submissions from Los Angeles artists with established studio practices, regardless of career stage, provided they have lived in the city for at least 5 years. We prioritize innovative projects and require applicants to be professional artists at least 3 years out of graduate school.
Our selection process will engage a committee comprising 8 artists, writers, and curators based in Los Angeles. To promote inclusivity, we will invite a diverse array of members from the Los Angeles arts community to actively take part in the selection process. This approach empowers artists to act as gatekeepers, fostering a platform that amplifies a wider spectrum of voices.
