The Art Guild invites all artists, high school and older, to submit artworks for consideration for “ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS, GLUE: MIXED MEDIA”, a Juried Competition and Exhibition.

All works must be original and have been created in the last five years. References used in the creation of the submitted work must be the artist’s own, or copyright-released for use in this work.

SIZE AND FRAMING: Size, with frame, must not exceed 36” on the longest side.  Work should be cleanly matted and/or framed (if appropriate), wired securely for hanging, with the wire attached via screw eyes or D-rings to the frame (not the backboard).  Gallery wraps are acceptable, but they must be a least 1” thick with all edges painted and no staples showing. Sculpture is limited to 30lbs and can be no larger than 24”W by 36”H. No saw tooth hangers, tape or string on the back.  Work must be labeled with artist’s name, phone number and email address.

Framing of your work must comply with the above OR IT WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

JUROR: Jason Cuvelier: Jason studied at the Maryland Institute College of Art earning a BFA in Painting, which enabled him to develop an open-minded, yet distinctly process oriented artistic approach. Jason worked with muralist Stewart White where they painted seven large murals in the now closed Baltimore City Life museum. After he graduated from Yale University with an MFA in Painting, he was offered to return for a teaching appointment, where he had the opportunity to teach drawing & painting to enthusiastic undergraduates as well as graduate students. Craving more challenge and a new stimulus for his self-expression, Jason moved to New York City. In 2001, he secured a position at Christie’s Auction House in New York where he worked for 7 years with photographs, prints and old master drawings. He then pursued his teaching certification through the completion of coursework at Queens College in art education. For the past ten years Jason has been on the Board of CONECA and works as a freelance artist in photography and graphic design. He has shown his paintings and photographs in various galleries in New York City and the surrounding locale. Jason was showcased in a book of emerging artists titled Point Suite Contemporary Art by Annika Connor and participated in artist talks during the promotion of the book.
