Want feedback on your ArtNow 2023 submission? The Teen Council invites you to drop in and share your ideas, ask questions, and get inspired! Whether you just want to talk through early ideas, ask questions about the ArtNow Theme or Toolkit, need help with navigating the submission form, share a draft or sketch of your artwork, workshop an artist statement, or brainstorm a title, this is a great opportunity to get direct feedback and support from other young artists and NUMU’s Education Curator. The Teen Council suggests that you come prepared to share photos of your work in progress or your physical art piece, and any personal questions.
If you feel nervous or shy, you are welcome to join the call anonymously with your camera off, but we encourage you to share your ideas verbally, and be ready to share your screen if necessary. No matter where you’re at in your submission process, we hope this program helps you feel confident in your next steps and understanding the theme better.
Submissions for ArtNow 2023: Unarmed Truth open Friday Oct 7, 2022 and close Sunday January 29, 2023 at midnight. Accepted artists will be listed on the website numulosgatos.org/artnow on February 15, 2023. All students who submitted will receive an email notification shortly after the website announcement.
ArtNow is an annual juried Santa Clara County high school art exhibition and educational program, presented by New Museum Los Gatos (NUMU). The ArtNow Exhibition and supporting programs offer opportunities for high school student artists, from Palo Alto to Gilroy, to gain real-world experience in participating in a juried museum exhibition. Each year, a new theme is chosen for the exhibition and students are asked to submit works based on that theme. $10,000 in scholarships and awards are given to participating students.
Applications to the 2023 ArtNow exhibition are open to all Santa Clara County high school students, grades 9-12, public, private, and homeschooled. The exhibition opens to the public on March 31, 2023. A professional development scholarship, and cash awards in several categories, including painting, watercolor and drawing, sculpture, and video art will be awarded at the opening reception.
