To foster the creative work of University of Nebraska students, Sheldon Museum of Art is hosting The Convo Project, a juried competition seeking original creative projects inspired by the color black. Submissions may take the form of any media—visual art, musical composition, writing, fashion, graphic design, video, architecture, animation, interactive media, cinematic arts, data visualization, or other emerging media.
Jurors will review all submissions and award a first prize of $1,000 and a second prize of $500. The deadline for submissions is November 1. For more information and to apply, visit sheldonartmuseum.org/convo-project.
The competition coincides with "In Conversation: Black," an exhibition that invites viewers to explore the theme of darkness through detail concealed in shadow and revealed in light. On view through December 31, the exhibition features works by artists including John Divola, Joyce Pensato, Martin Puryear, Richard Serra, and Frank Stella.
Sheldon Museum of Art is a campus resource open free to the public. To learn more, visit sheldonartmuseum.org.
