Jonathan Levine

Hey what’s up. I’ve got some good news for all of my artist friends out there who wish they could catch a break when it comes to finding exposure for their art, or the elusive gallery representation. Our very favorite art gallery, Jonathan LeVine Projects (now located in beautiful downtown Jersey City) has issued an Open Call to Artists! It is pretty sweet.

It is no secret that LeVine has been the go-to destination for the very best in contemporary Pop and Street Art for over a decade.  If you’ve ever thought that your art would be a perfect fit for the gallery, now’s your chance to get in on the action.  Jonathan LeVine is looking for the world’s next great artist and wants to see if you have what it takes. The gallery’s first (of what will become an annual) art competition is now open to artists ages 18 and older, and from all backgrounds and levels of experience. Whip out your portfolios and show off your best stuff!

To submit your work, you’ll have to visit This Link. Artworks will only be considered if they are submitted via this platform.
