Vox Populi is happy to announce an open call for VOX XI – our eleventh annual juried exhibition of emerging artists, which will take place July 10th – July 31st 2015. The deadline for submissions is Sunday May 03, 2015.
To apply, download a prospectus here and follow the instructions. The application is on SlideRoom and can be accessed here.
Vox Populi is particularly interested in highlighting work in all media that pushes boundaries in terms of form and content, is ambitious and timely, and is experimental and risk-taking.
This is a great professional opportunity to show in a professional exhibition space and bring your work to a large, new audience.
