Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center

JURIED BY: Keri Towler, Director of Collections, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden

Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center invites emerging and established artists to submit original artworks to ‘POP! Art with Mass Appeal.’ This exhibition seeks to showcase artworks that capture the essence or provide commentary on pop art's evolution in the digital age. Artists are encouraged to delve into the vibrant world of popular media and consumer culture, exploring how it shapes and redefines our views of each other, society, and the world. From traditional pop art aesthetics, to internet memes and viral fame, to music and television references, popular animation and illustration styles, logos and icons,  we invite artists to interpret this theme with creativity, imagination, satire, and/or a sense of humor. This show seeks art that embraces bold colors, dynamic compositions, and a graphic style that defines the heart of pop art. Whether through traditional mediums or digital formats, we are looking for artwork that visually resonates with the energy, intensity--and even the absurdity-- of contemporary popular culture.

This exhibition will be open to the public in the Kay Daugherty Gallery of Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center, from May 3, 2024, to September 22, 2024.
