May 22, 2020
In response to the COVID-19 Pandemic and resulting closure of physical spaces where artists may show their work, the Anton Art Center launched a global call for artists to submit their work for a juried international online exhibit. A total of 1,524 entries were received from 518 artists (youth, teen and adults) across the globe, representing 30 U.S. states and 44 countries.
Juried by Anton Art Center Executive Director, Phil Gilchrist, and Exhibition Manager, Stephanie Hazzard, entries were received in a wide variety of media in three age groups: youth (age 12 and under), teen (ages 13-17), and adult (ages 18+). Gilchrist selected a number of “Director’s Picks” in each age category. In a show of solidarity with artists around the world, all entries that met the guidelines are exhibited. This exhibit will remain on virtual display for at least the remainder of 2020.
We hope you enjoy this tremendous collection of artistic expression from all corners of the world.
THANK YOU for a remarkable show, ARTISTS!
