Artists Wanted: Explore the Potential of Self-Portraiture

13

Artists Wanted is a collaborative project between several New York City artists and creative organizations that helps emerging talent gain exposure in the professional art world. It’s currently hosting a multi-medium competition called The Power of Self, which focuses on the art of self portraiture. The panel of judges includes actor Steve Buscemi, director/producer Chris Weitz, Guggenheim curator Helen Hsu, and Flavorpill’s own Sascha Lewis.

The grand prize: A reception in New York City, international exposure, and a feature in 3rd Ward magazine, plus your choice of either six months free living at The Edge in Williamsburg or $7007 cash.

Ready to be discovered? Visit their website for more details.

Update: Due to an overwhelming response, they’ve decided to extend the deadline to January 21st. Good luck!

Shannon, can you explain why I should consider the images you entered self-portraits? (They don’t look like self-portraits.)

Thanks for the power of art! Please vote for me and my very self portraits. They are personal and a little graphic of a time that is powerful.

Thank you live the art!

@shannon I so get your abstract self portraits.

I just saw an email regarding a photo contest sponsored by artistswanted.org with a $10,000 fist prize. The deadline is May 31s. Is this actually your organization and is this a true contest and not an email scam. Please let me know at nsinger@aol.com. Thank you.
