The 3am Project
Free to enter after dark competition, $10,000 artist grants, free art courses, art jobs & opportunities
Art After Dark
Hi! Hope you’re perfectly rested after a week of blissful, uninterrupted sleep. For the rest of us here’s an art contest to get to work on instead of staring at the ceiling.
The 3am Project is part of the Lost Letters heritage project from the Surrey History Centre. Entry is free with categories for both adults and younger artists (11-25).
Taking inspiration from Frank Baker’s restless 3am letter the contest ask us to ‘explore the things that keep us up or come to us in the middle of the night. What swims in our psyche after dark that must be expressed?’
Both art and writing category winners get £750 prizes & exhibition opportunity. Young artist winners receive £250 in vouchers. (closes 28 June)
Foundwork Artist Prize
A US based award but open to artists everywhere. Sign up to the Foundwork platform ($4 a month), list a portfolio of at least 6 images and the jury will choose 2 x Foundwork artists in November to receive $10,000 grants. FAQ’s here. (Oct 10th)
Free Courses & Lessons
Domestika Days kicked off yesterday and continues through Monday with a daily dose of free creative courses (available for 48h), free lessons (available for 72h) plus free downloads and tutorials.
