Artist Application Resources
Apply for an exhibition, residency, public art, membership, or other kind of artist opportunity may feel challenging. Here are some helpful resources and best practices.
Exhibition and Event: Carving out Creativity: Connecting Across Physical Distances through Creativity, Art, and Technology
Open Call for Artists
Carving out Creativity is an experimental series of multimedia immersive exhibitions based on brain activity during the artistic process. The exhibit will occur simultaneously at the 4 locations listed above. Patrons will connect (digitally) to each other by touching stone-carved sculptures both within the location they are in and in the galleries where other artists’ sculptures are exhibited. This connection will happen using experimental haptic and holographic technologies. Our goal is to create new ways for people to envision connections through art across the Commonwealth.
This exhibit is organized by the City of Alexandria’s Office of the Arts and Virginia Tech, including a team of engineers, neuroscientists, and artists from the university’s Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology (ICAT).
Exhibits taking place in four locations and digitally connected
