Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) has announced its inaugural open call for digital art commissions from the crossroads of the Americas.
The museum’s first-of-its-kind program offers financial support to produce experimental digital artwork across South Florida, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the African Diaspora. Selected artists may be awarded between $1,000 and $15,000 during an estimated 12-month period, expanding and advancing the museum’s presentation, study, and interpretation of international contemporary digital art.
The open call for digital art commissions launched on Apr. 30. The application deadline is June 30 at 11:59 p.m. PST.
The open call fosters the creation of innovative digital artworks that reflect PAMM’s unique position at the crossroads of the Americas, bolstering artistic representation and reproduction within these regions. The open call aims to expand scholarship and engagement with digital art, advancing the museum’s mission to lead in the presentation, study, and interpretation of international contemporary digital art.
“This open call seeks to bolster new media practices across PAMM’s purview and reroute the history of digital art beyond what is typically shown in museums and galleries,” said Jay Mollica, PAMM senior director of digital engagement.
“The economic, artistic, and scholarship opportunities built into the open call are vital for our digital arts ecosystem to thrive across South Florida, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the African Diaspora,” said Lauren Monzón, program manager of digital engagement.
Applicants can submit proposals for original projects in any production phase, including pre- to post-production. Successful digital art proposals will use the internet and digital processes to conceptually and practically shape their projects, including many disciplines spanning video art, film, augmented reality, net art, 3-D sculpture, video games, virtual reality, generative art, as well as forms yet to be discovered.
There is no fee for the museum’s open call for digital art commissions. Proposals must be submitted electronically through PAMM’s application portal.
