Call Description

MONEY MONEY MONEY

For our online exhibition “Money,” NEXT Gallery invites artists of all backgrounds to explore what money means to them. Does it make the world go ‘round? Can it buy happiness? Gold standard, Bitcoin, counterfeit, or petty cash—how does money shape what we value and why?

As a non-profit artist collective, we know that creative labor often exists outside or in spite of traditional markets. We invite work that questions value, exposes the economies that exploit art and artists, or subverts the logic of capital. Submissions for Money might consider how we collectively or individually value art, what other forms of wealth or exchange we can create, or how worth might be measured beyond price. We also welcome work that approaches the theme more personally, symbolically, or playfully. Money touches everyone differently, and we seek a wide range of perspectives.

The fee for entry is $25 for up to 2 piece(s).

NEXT Gallery is an artist owned and operated gallery whose mission is to promote art appreciation and education through community outreach.

The MONEY online show will be highly visible. NEXT Gallery has a large online presence and a vigorous marketing system.
