Special
consideration is given to "Snap to Grid" artists for inclusion in

artists from which we select the majority of our exhibitors. There have
been a large number of "Snap to Grid" participants who have been
included in group exhibits, as well as a number of solo shows. Proceeds

thriving. Exhibit your work, build your resume, and support LACDA.

Two easy steps to exhibit your work at LACDA...
Every
year for over 50 years the L.A. Municipal Gallery has held its "Open
Call" exhibit where any artist can show up with their art and an entry
fee (to benefit gallery programs) and the piece is shown. The Los
Angeles Center For Digital Art decided to launch an international
experiment of the same nature where the artists upload images that are
printed and hung by the gallery. The hundreds of works are displayed in a
grid like installation (reminiscent of postcard art shows of the
1980's) where every work submitted is exhibited.
The
usual (less than democratic) selection process where only the precious
few are chosen is turned on its head in a curatorial anarchy where
everyone gets to participate and the viewer is literally left to be the
judge. The show represents a snapshot of a current moment in art history
when digital imaging has reached the hands of the many, an age where
"smart culture" belongs to an all pervasive social media. From Thailand
to Texas, amateur to academic, beautiful to banal and beyond the
monumental quantity and variety of "Snap to Grid" becomes an aesthetic
experience where each individual piece adds to an agglomerative effect
that has a life of its own.
