New Generations: Student Showcase Submission Deadline for "Matter!"

Call for student artwork to be featured one night only at the de Young Museum on April 20, 2012.

This year's theme of New Generations: Student Showcasae is a call to action: Matter!

Think of it as a one-word manifesto: Matter!

Matter is the stuff of our lives, the goods that surround us, the fibers we wear, and the atoms of which our bodies are formed. Artists and designers have, in recent years, called for a return to matter: new investigations of material culture, a reinvigoration of distinctly handmade objects, and an insistent materiality. In an age characterized by post-studio art, some might argue that what matters most today is something immaterial, something social, an artistic form of anti-matter!
Matter! is a serious call for your creative contributions. Weigh in with your own submissions of work to be considered by our jury of art professionals.

Public Programs at the de Young Museum invites you to submit proposals of visual art, film, music, or performance art, for the Student Showcase during Friday Nights at the de Young on Friday, April 20, 2012. Members of the de Young Museum’s New Generations Student and Faculty Advisory Committee will jury the proposals.

All submissions must be submitted by midnight on Thursday, March 1, 2012.  Submissions received on March 2 or later will not be considered.
