New Directions 2019: 35th Annual National Juried Contemporary Art Exhibition
Juror: Akili Tommasino, Associate Curator, Modern and Contemporary Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
Entry Deadline: July 13, 2019
Exhibition Dates: September 28 - November 9, 2019
$500 Juror’s Prize, $200 Second Prize, $125 Honorable Mention
New Directions is a premier national exhibition of new approaches in contemporary art today. Artists are encouraged to submit new works that embrace cutting-edge practices and/or traditional styles in innovative ways. We welcome 2D media, 3D sculpture, video, and installation.
Now in its 35th year, New Directions brings contemporary art to an atypical venue - the intimate galleries of Barrett Art Center’s 1840s Greek Revival townhouse. Former domestic spaces remodeled as galleries create a visually-compelling setting for contemporary and cutting-edge work. Maximum dimensions: 72"
