The FL3TCH3R Exhibit 2017
The FL3TCH3R Exhibit 2017 now is over!
CALL FOR ENTRIES: The FL3TCH3R Exhibit, an annual multi-national juried exhibit and art competition focused on socially and politically engaged art, has been recently opened for entries for 2017 inviting all artists and designers worldwide to partecipate.
Socially and politically engaged art has been integral in creative expression since the beginning of visual arts. This exhibition explores the current trends and trajectory in this field and these collective creative works hopefully serve as an avenue or agent for societal transformation and exposure of social and political points of view.
The goal of this art competition is to recognise and advance this endeavour by providing a venue for the exhibition of socially and politically engaged art. Furthermore, the exhibit’s proceeds after expenses will fund the Fletcher H. Dyer Memorial Scholarship for an art and design student.
The theme of the FL3TCH3R Exhibit is focused on work with strong social and political content. Work entered in the exhibit should reflect current issues that affect contemporary culture and investigate societal and political concerns. Diverse media and approach to the theme are encouraged.
