Description

Dripping. With. Excess…Excessive Measures seeks multi-faceted artworks that explore those times where things go over the line; way over the line. Artwork could be over the top, complex, OCD, gaudy, rude, flashy, grandiose, drastic, primadonna, disproportionately-sized, busy, and mouthy, in-your-face, pissed off at the world, overblown. When people say things like “follow best practice”, and use dumbed down language, does this make you cringe inside? Do you dislike monotony and the status quo? Just know you’re not alone; it’s time to let it all out.

Excessive Measures also encourages works that explore America’s culture of excess, vanity, greed, and extremes.

We accept artwork from any medium*, including Student, Emerging, Mid-Career, and/or Professional Artists. Work should follow and/or challenge the theme of the exhibit, can be evocative, and above all, should be attractive for audiences and collectors. Sculptural and 3D works are encouraged to apply.
