OPEN CALL FOR ARTIST
Unique by Nature’ Juried Art Competition and Exhibition is hosted by the McKinney Performing Arts Center (MPAC)
Submittals will be accepted electronically no later than 7:00 pm CT, March 17, 2023
We created the Juried Art Show and Exhibition to build a public and permanent art collection for MPAC. Artists from all over the state of Texas submit work for cash prizes and the chance to have their pieces hung in our historic halls.
ONE large-scale work will be awarded a $6,000 Purchase Prize and will become part of MPAC’s permanent and public art collection. The large-scale work must be 36″ on any dimension (not including the frame). No 3D work will be considered for the Purchase Prize.
Based on received applications, 10 large-scale pieces will be selected for the show.
Finalists’ work will be judged by Lynn Rushton, Public Art Collection and Conservation Manager, Office of Arts and Culture, City of Dallas, Texas.
Any additional sales will be handled by MPAC with a 25% commission to MPAC. These funds will be used to purchase additional work and to fund future competitions.
Notifications of jury decisions will be emailed by Wednesday, March 22, and artwork must be delivered to MPAC by Wednesday, March 29.
