Digital Art, Assemblage or Collage

Online + Gallery Exhibition
Deadline: October 10, 2021
Exhibition: November 6 to 27, 2021
Commission: 65% Artist
Entry: $35 for up to 3 images

If you are an artist working in Digital Art, Assemblage or Collage, Las Laguna Art Gallery wants to see your work.

For this exhibition we are looking for art that uses digital technology as part of the creative or presentation process. Artists may use software like Photoshop, Procreate, Corel Painter, or other tools to manipulate images to create paintings, drawings or pictures. Digital works may be created on a computer or phone using an application.

Assemblages are a 3-dimensional variant of the collage with elements jutting in or out of a defined substrate, or an entirely 3-D arrangement of objects and/or sculptures.

Collage is a technique by which art results from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole. The works can use traditional magazine and newspaper clippings, photographs, ribbons, paints, found objects, bits of colored or handmade papers; or the collages can be made digitally using a wide variety of digital tools or methods.

Any and all themes will be considered. All local, national and international artists, professional and amateur, for this call for art.

Note: All artists who submit to this show will be accepted and have at least one of their submitted works posted and promoted on our website. A select number of artists possibly will be selected to send their work to the gallery for the in-person exhibition at our brick and mortar gallery in Laguna Beach, California.
