The Fifth Annual Athenaeum Invitational
The Athenaeum Invitational celebrates the visual arts of Virginia, Maryland, the District of Columbia and West Virginia in the Athenaeum Gallery in Alexandria, VA. It is a theme-based event featuring the works of both specially-invited artists who have exhibited in the Athenaeum Gallery in the past, as well as works selected through a call for submissions open to anyone living or working in VA/DC/MD/WV. A $1500 prize for the best work will be awarded to an invited artist, a $1000 prize will be awarded to an artist from the open call, a $500 prize will be awarded based on core concept and game design, and a viewers' choice award of $500 will be determined by popular vote.
Board: out of our minds!
Artists and 'artists of the mind' from DC, MD, VA and WV are invited to explore the broad concept of board games. Entries might be based on a real or imagined game, an environment where games are played, or people's relationships to board games. Entries that demonstrate creative brilliance through the core concept and game design are encouraged as well as purely aesthetic works.
