Brody Anonymous Project

Application Requirements

We welcome applications from national and international artists. The Brody Anonymous Project supports a wide variety of media – feel free to submit paintings, photographs, sculptures, mixed media, to mention a few. Regrettably, we cannot process applications for video or sound art for this call.

To make a successful submission, please ensure you do as follows:

• Complete your portfolio on the Works.io platform and refer to ‘Apply’ - APPLICATION GUIDE subsection for guidance. 

• The whole portfolio will be reviewed, however, please select 3 artworks which you would like to submit for the Project. Indicate after hitting the APPLY NOW button (Apply section) which ones you have selected for this call and introduce them briefly. 
• Each proposed piece MUST fit within a fixed space of MAXIMUM 60cm (width) x 60cm (height) x 20 cm (depth) INCLUDING frame/mount/passepartout – go smaller if you wish!
  
• Selected pieces may be 1D, 2D or 3D provided they fit within the space allocated.
  
• Each piece must have a frame or support so it can be hung easily.
• Please sign and date the BACK of the work only (hence the anonymous concept!)

TOTAL secrecy – this is critical to ensure the concept’s success - please do not even discuss with other artists without checking with us first

All proposals that meet the mentioned requirements will be reviewed by our jury. Only ONE (1) piece will be selected from each successful artist submission. Once the artist and chosen artwork has been selected, we will confirm by e-mail.
