The FL3TCH3R Exhibit 2018
The FL3TCH3R Exhibit 2018 now is over!
The FL3TCH3R Exhibit, an annual multi-national juried exhibition and art contest focused on socially and politically engaged art, has been recently opened for entries for 2018 inviting all artists and designers worldwide to partecipate.
About Competition
The FL3TCH3R Exhibit is an annual multi-national juried exhibition and art contest focused on socially and politically engaged art. 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 contest 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.
