The 9th Annual 2015 California Open is a juried exhibition celebrating contemporary and modern art created by emerging artists. The competition is hosted by TAG Gallery, an artist-owned gallery located at Bergamot Station Arts Center that features emerging and mid-career artists of Southern California.
ELIGIBILITY
The exhibition is open to all artists 18 years and older in the disciplines of Computer Art, Mixed media, Painting, Print-making, Photography, and Sculpture. Accepted work will be exhibited at TAG Gallery from the 13th – 29th of August 2014, and all work will be for sale. Entries are limited to six (6) pieces completed since 2010 and not shown previously at TAG Gallery. TAG artists are not eligible.
JUROR
The 2015 Juror is renowned Southern California Artist Jim Morphesis. Jim Morphesis has been a major force in the Los Angeles art community for the last three decades. His passionate explorations of sacred figures and symbols have been a significant inspiration for fellow artists in the Los Angeles art world, and he continues to produce powerful work that blends classical imagery with his own deeply felt expression of politics and spirituality. His work can be found in museums such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and select private collections.
LOCATION
Located on 8 acres in the heart of Santa Monica, Bergamot Station Arts Center is Southern California’s largest art gallery complex.
