"Beat Nation(by Corey Bulpitt)" at Grunt Gallery, Vancouver

Calling young (aged 16-19) Canadian political artists. Here’s a chance to get your work noticed, publicized and into the National Gallery of Canada (NGC).

The NGC has announced its second annual So You Want to Be an Artist contest. It’s a cheezey title, but an opportunity for young artists to get some work in the gallery and maybe a little public approbation.

Submissions are posted online. The public selects a shortlist of 12 entries through online voting (the shortlisted entries will be shown in the National Gallery). A jury selects a winner.

Deadline March 18, 2012.

Tell your (young) friends and spread the word. For more info go to the contest website.
