CALL FOR CALIFORNIA ARTISTS: The Art of Now: Pushing Boundaries

JUROR T.B.A.

The San Diego Museum of Art Artists Guild is seeking art at the edge and beyond the
traditional. The Art of Now is our Call to California artists to submit work that pushes
boundaries in contemporary art—what it is and what it can be.

This is a great opportunity for artists to stretch their creative wings and try something they
have always wanted to bring to fruition.

We invite artwork at the edge and beyond traditional art. Works will include painting and
drawing, video art, installation, mixed media, fiber art, photography, and sculpture. Join us
for an open-ended dialogue inviting artists and audiences to question and experience what
“now” means in contemporary art.
