Internet Digital Explorations 2027
Opportunity Description
International Deadline: December 9, 2026 – Computer software and technology have forever expanded the ways artists capture and produce their work. Artists can weave together scenes in photoshop, produce paintings through a screen, create videos, animations, and projections that transport us to new worlds, and sculpt with a 3D printer.
Maryland Federation of Art (MFA) invites all artists from around the world, with exception of sanctioned countries to enter our 7th annual exhibition dedicated to digitally-produced art.
MFA exhibitions are blind juried by professional and credentialed art experts. Works selected will be exhibited in MFA’s Virtual Gallery from February 15 – April 14, 2027.
ELIGIBILITY
This exhibition is open to artists residing worldwide. All entries must be original and completed solely by the artist’s hand.
Any original 2D or 3D image based work created and/or produced through digital software and following exhibition guidelines will be considered. This includes, but is not limited to digitally produced photography, digital painting, illustration, graphic design, digital video and projection.
