LIGHTS OUT: A Group Video Exhibition

The Brentwood Arts Exchange is seeking submissions from artists who work in video or digital animation for a group exhibition in the Main Gallery. Themes, concepts and video duration can vary. Due to the nature of installing a group video exhibition in an open gallery, we will strongly prefer videos that are silent or have only ambient sound. Selected videos will be displayed in the Main Gallery via projectors or television monitors, and may be shared via digital platforms during the exhibition.

EXHIBITION DATES: June 3- August 17, 2024.

ELIGIBILITY
This call is open to all artists who are 18 years of age or older. There are no other restrictions.
