AUTOMAT announces a call for artworks for their 2024 Open Call exhibition, open to emerging and mid-career artists working in any medium in the Philadelphia region and beyond. This group exhibition will be curated by our members, and will run from December 7th 2024 - January 18th 2025. Accepted works must be available for the duration of the show. Please see submission requirements below to apply.
Open calls introduce your work to our curators and present possibilities for future exhibitions even if you are not included in this group show. Our members often review our open call records when preparing for new projects.
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:
Each artist must fill out the digital application HERE and pay the application fee at the bottom of this page. Both the application form and payment must be submitted before October 24th to be considered for exhibition.
Artists may submit up to 3 artworks, and include up to 2 images per work. Video projects or documentation of other time-based work must be submitted via a public YouTube or Vimeo link. Please limit these to no longer than 10 minutes in length. We encourage experimental and installation works, though a detailed installation plan must be included.

An AUTOMAT member can assist with return shipment, but shipment costs must again be covered by the artist.
PAYMENT:
The $25 open call entry fee supports the general operation of AUTOMAT and the production of this show, which is otherwise funded by our artist members. We acknowledge the barriers that fees create for artist submissions. If you self-identify as someone who requires aid to afford the entry fee, we offer you the option of selecting the lower tier payment option of $10.
