The theme is \u201cTimeline: 200 Years\u201d and we welcome submissions from artists within a 100 mile radius of Victoria to submit artwork that speaks to points along the timeline of the last 200 years, since Victoria was founded.<\/p>\n<p>The theme is a nod to the bicentennial, but within our culture today, carries multiple meanings, from combined years of experience to the personal experience of a family and their ancestors. The focus will be 200 years around Victoria but will also work to include the longer history of immigrants and travelers who found their way to Victoria through trial, opportunity, and serendipity. We encourage artists to think broadly about this theme.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Key Dates:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><strong>Online Submission Form opens:<\/strong> January 2, 2024<\/p>\n<p><strong>Deadline for entries:<\/strong> January 31st, 2024<\/p>\n<p><strong>Notification of selected participants:<\/strong> February 9th, 2024<\/p>\n<p><strong>Exhibition-ready work delivered to museum:<\/strong> February 14-16, 2024<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opening Reception:<\/strong> March 2, 2024, 5-8pm<\/p>\n<p><strong>Exhibition Dates:<\/strong> March 2 &#8211; June 9, 2024<\/p>\n<h5><strong>How to enter:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Artists should submit a resume and up to 10 images of their work through either of the following means:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Via the online application (OPENS JANUARY 2, 2024)<\/li>\n<li>Directly to the museum, Five Points Museum of Contemporary Art at 1201 N Moody St, Victoria, TX 77901<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><strong>Eligibility and Requirements:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Artists\u00a0submitting work should live within a 100 mile radius of Victoria, Texas or have a strong connection to the area by previous residency or work.<\/li>\n<li>All artists 18 years and older, working in any media, will be considered.<\/li>\n<li>Must be original work.<\/li>\n<li>Submissions will be accepted up to 10 images.<\/li>\n<li>All chosen work must be delivered to the museum exhibition-ready, including proper hanging hardware<\/li>\n<li>Work must be available for the duration of the exhibition<\/li>\n<li>Artists are responsible for picking up their work at the conclusion of the exhibition<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background has-vivid-red-background-color\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fivepointsmuseum.com\/timeline-200-years-entry-form\/\" style=\"color:#ffffff;border-radius:6px\">Submit your work now via the online form<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a question?&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:info@fivepointsmuseum.com\">Send it to us and we\u2019ll get you an answer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: I live more than 100 miles from Victoria.

We do have some practical considerations, in that our largest door is 12\u00d712\u2032, and we have limited staff to move very large or heavy pieces. But we will consider works both large and small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: What pixel dimensions should my submission files be?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong>&nbsp;We need enough detail to see your work clearly, but also need to constrain file sizes to not overwhelm our storage capacity. A good rule of thumb is to have your image no larger than 1200\u00d71600 pixels, or 4\u00d76 at 300dpi. Please keep your maximum image size to 1 MB.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Note: We are no longer accepting entries through our online form.
