Compete Bristol Art Museum Exhibition: Rock–Paper–Scissors
Opportunity Description
U.S. National Deadline: December 20, 2024 – “Rock – Paper – Scissors” draws inspiration from the classic game, translating its playful rivalry into the realm of art. In the game, rock beats scissors, paper beats rock, and scissors beat paper—but in this exhibition, paper takes center stage.
This national Bristol Art Museum call invites artists to explore materials and artistic processes that reflect the hard, the composite, and the delicate. Works may incorporate paper as a medium or subject and engage with broader themes of strength, fragility, and transformation. Playful experimentation and innovative approaches will unify the exhibit, welcoming all styles—from non-objective to abstracted realism.
On View: February 9 – Friday, April 4, 2025.
ELIGIBILITY
Submitting artists must reside in the USA and be at least eighteen years old. All work must be original. Artwork must fit through a standard doorway. All artwork must arrive ready for installation.
