Grit: The Urban Landscape

National Deadline: July 21, 2014 - The Copley Society of Art (CoSo) is seeking submissions for the upcoming national juried exhibition celebrating the urban landscape GRIT. Juried by Paul Ha, Director of MIT’s List Visual Arts Center, GRIT unveils the raw fabric of the cityscape, delving into the interconnected nature of postmillennial life at its most fundamental level. Here, at the foundation of society, structure and chaos meld into one. GRIT is the examination of this intrinsic platform of the urban landscape.

JUROR
Paul Ha is currently the Director of the List Visual Arts Center, the contemporary art museum at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Known for presenting experimental and timely exhibitions, the List also oversees the active MIT's Percent-for-Art program, which has created one of the outstanding national collections of public art.

ELIGIBILITY
This call for submission is open to all residents of the U.S. and its Territories, 18 years of age or older.

This is a juried exhibition for artists working in all traditional and non-traditional 2D and 3D media, including film/video when part of an installation. All artwork must be original in concept, design and execution.
