NEW WORK – FOCUS ON LOS ANGELES – $1500 project grant
Prospect Art is seeking Los Angeles-based visual artists for the New Work series. We are looking for existing or new work by professional artists not currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program. Priority is given to artists not represented by a commercial gallery in Los Angeles.

Artists that make it to the final review round will qualify for studio visits with Prospect Art founders and will be featured on the website as finalists. We are looking for Los Angeles-based artists with established studio practices who have lived in the city for at least 5 years. Projects that are usually not well represented in commercial galleries will be prioritized.

The Family
THE FAMILY
Free entry│Call for Exhibition
Photographers are invited to submit 1 up to 3 photos addressing the theme.
Group Exhibition in Rome. July 2023
–
The Family
The collection of the photographs on display will expose the meaning of the term “Family”, through stories and thoughts.
Such a broad topic, “Family”, grants the photographers multiple approaches within the experiential and autobiographical sphere – which makes the diaristic component implicit – but also documentary and conceptual, as the result of a reflection on the meaning of the “Family” in the modern age.
“Family” is understood as a social nucleus made up of several individuals who live and share domestic environments, linked together by kinship and/or by an emotional relationship.
The selected photos will answer questions such as “What are families nowadays?”, “How do traditions and cultures affect our way of living them, in them and with them?”, “What testimonies do we have of new ways of understanding the family?” – a reference to immigrant individuals who create new social and sharing groups and the request by homosexual women and men who want the right to create their own family recognized.
History of art offers a further starting point to reflect from, and it concerns a human behavior made manifest through the pictorial genre of the portrait: to remember oneself by becoming testimony and historical root for his descendants, a behavior that is followed through photography with the exposition in the frame or the family album.
