The PleinAir Salon $33,000 Art Competition is a monthly online competition consisting of 19 categories. We award over $33,000 each year for this competition. The Annual Grand Prize winner receives a check for $15,000 and is featured on the cover of PleinAir Magazine. We award an additional $6,500 to the annual winners and award $1,100 monthly to the top three winners of each competition as well as a People’s Choice Award. Each of the 23 monthly winners will be automatically entered into the Annual Competition. The annual awards are presented live at the Plein Air Convention & Expo each spring.

Because this competition is created by PleinAir magazine, which features not only plein air paintings, but also studio paintings, all types of paintings are eligible and do not need to have been completed in plein air. As we know, many studio paintings start with plein air sketches, and many plein air painters paint figures and still life. Our interest is in rewarding great paintings.

The word kinetic relates to motion. Motion in space or agitation, in flux or changing. Kinetic energy is the energy an object has because of its motion. For over a century, artists have been incorporating movement into art – to explore the possibilities of movement, to introduce the notion of time, and to bring a different kind of life and energy to art.

Cannibals of Love, curated by Ejecta Projects
On display April 1 – May 20, 2023

Cannibals of Love takes as its inspiration the romantic comedy genre in film and television – the “Rom Com” – to “cast” an exhibition that explores themes of love and humor.

This is an open-call. Visual artists are invited to submit works of art that are inspired by, critique, or reflect notions of heartache, summer flings, awkward love triangles, unlikely couples, one-night stands, unrequited loves, the “meet cute,” or other tropes of Rom Coms. More specifically, submitted works will explore romance and/or humor in relation to cinematically-scaled stories of pathos and eros.

Although the prompt might at first appear to engage with light-hearted frivolities, the curators seek a nuanced survey of contemporary artistic responses to love and power, as well as a diverse examination of relationships and romance. With the mention of cannibals in its title, the exhibition also welcomes investigations about the intersections of desire, appetites, and other perceived taboos and “improper” behaviors largely absent from or suppressed by Hollywood and Hallmark. Moreover, the curators invite critical approaches to the conventional heteronormativity, pervasive whiteness, and gender politics of the film genre.

Ultimately, the artists in the exhibition, selected for their range of perspectives, identities and works across visual media, will provide viewers with new and inclusive insights into the shared human impulses to love and laugh.

Other visual or experiential “cues” that the curators imagine could be pertinent include: period drama, summer blockbuster, forbidden love, unlikely pairings, doubts at the altar, attention-grabbing movie trailers, sequels, and celebrity, among others.

Open to all visual media, including film/video and text.
