This is for artists who identify as LGBTQ+ and is open to many different media. If you feel this group description does not represent you, this is the fourth year of the prize, and it will be evolving in the next year and every year after to work to give all artists in the Bay Area a place they feel is appropriate. Your artwork can also be entered in more than one category. Please SIGN UP to participate.
If you are a Viewer and visitor, please take a look below at some of the art that has been created in the 9 counties of the Bay Area plus Sacramento and Santa Cruz counties in this first ever Bay Area regional art prize. There are other categories you will find very interesting, please visit this one and all the others as well.
And if you are a viewer, please consider donating a tax-deductible donation or purchase a print from some other Bay Area artists who want to sell some of their work to help fund this first ever regional Prize for Art!
If you are an artist and wish to participate in the Prize, you may upload up to eight (8) of your works of art for $10 each. Your work will be reviewed and then placed immediately up on this website for everyone to see, in this or one of the other juried categories, as you choose. All work will then be eligible for a Winning Prize or Honorable Mention.
There will be one winner at $500 and an essay and now 5 honorable mentions at $100 each! The awards will be cash awards or a gift certificate to a Bay Area store specializing in art-related services. As well all the work seen here will be eligible for 2 more voted awards, to be voted on after the Prize for Art closes on November 14 until November 25!
Artists may enter more than one category. Each category is awarded separately. Each artist is eligible for one award per category. Works that have won in the previous Prizes for Art are not eligible for the 2024 Sheridan Prize for Art. The Winner and Honorable Mentions will be shown here after they are chosen as close to November 25 as possible! Please come back often to see the many and varied works of art and afterwards to see the results. Good luck, everyone!
