Works Accepted:
Heartfelt works of art are being solicited: altars, painting, sculptures, photography, etchings, mix-media, and more. It is essential that the work represent the true meaning of Dia De Los Muertos. Criteria of acceptance is based on a genuine significance or originality of the true meaning of the Dia De Los Muertos. All 2- and 3-dimensional media invited.
Ideally, some of the altar entries would include interactive elements that would allow public participation. For example, if you created an altar for a loved one who died of cancer, you could dedicate it to that person as well as all cancer victims. Many of our visitors in the past have been very grateful for the opportunity to put photos or simply add the names of their beloved on the altar. It has been quite touching and it gives the gallery a life of its own.
Selection of work will be made from a photograph of work. Submit one photo for each 2-dimensional piece and two photos for each 3-dimensional piece (front and back). Each artist may submit up to three works of art for jurying. All flatwork must be ready for hanging with hangers and wire-attached.
