I’m excited to let you know that Real Art Ways is now accepting submissionsfor the 2021 Real Art Awards! Emerging artists in living in New Jersey, New England, or New York are invited to submit their work for consideration free of charge. Six selected artists will receive a $2,500 prize, solo exhibition, catalogue essay, and more. This year’s jury panel includes: artist and writer Kameelah Janan Rasheed; artist and Director of the School of Art at George Mason University Hasan Elahi; and Real Art Ways Executive Director Will K. Wilkins.
Our definition of “emerging” is inherently flexible, so recently graduated students are encouraged to submit their work for consideration. Students graduating this Spring semester are also eligible to apply.
