GUESS WHAT! Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs has something amazing going on called Cultural Grant Program and they’re looking for submissions from amazing artists just like you! 

The 2013 Los Angeles Juried Exhibition is a biennial exhibition providing artists with a competitive opportunity to exhibit their work.

In his book “Non-Places: Introduction to an Anthropology 

of Supermodernity,” Marc Augé coined the phrase “nonplace” to refer to transient places—such as freeways, airports, 

supermarkets, and big box stores—which do not hold enough 

significance to be regarded as “places.” These non-places 

seem at first to be anonymous and interchangeable, devoid of 

memory or a sense of belonging. Yet as more and more our of 

daily lives are spent occupying such ‘non-places,’ artists are 

investigating the ways in which the particularities of ‘place’—

humanity, storytelling, and belonging—can come out of or be 

revealed in the non-place.

Venice Arts Gallery, located in Los Angeles, CA, invites artists 

exploring these transient, postmodern spaces of everyday life, 

or their counterparts—the specific, the personal, and the local—

to submit work for our annual Summer Juried Exhibition—

“Place/Non-place: Locality in the Digital Age.”

The Venice Arts Gallery focuses on photography, film, 

and media arts. The exhibition is open to artists working in 

photography, film, video, and digital/new media. 

Winning entries will be shown at the Venice Arts Gallery 

June 29–August 16, 2013, with an opening reception for the 

artists on Saturday, June 29th, 5-8pm. Regional, national, and 

international entries are accepted. There is no fee for entry.
