We love a weird piece. A unique piece. Pieces that are "a whirling dervish of works that reflect the artist’s message, their methods and their materials". And sometimes game just knows game: and Dr. Fred Adelson knows game. Like us, he has a lifelong obsession with art: he teaches it, he writes on it for the likes of the Courier Post, New Jersey Monthly and even the New York Times! We can't imagine a better partner in crime than Dr. Adelson.  He is a fantastic juror, and we can't wait to see his selections!

So let’s get together some great art with unique materials, unique designs and uniquely marvelous perspectives by wonderfully, talented artists.

SUBMISSIONS ARE DUE BY 11:59PM on SUNDAY, APRIL 6, 2025.

Submission Fee: $35 per 3 pieces of Artwork.
