Twitter/Art+Social Media is an exhibition of work by artists who use social media for the inspiration, production or presentation of their work. The exhibition includes an open call for artwork and events at the Diane Farris Gallery in Vancouver, BC between April 1-May 1, 2010 as well as online components. Artists must be active users of social media and be interested in the theme of the show.



Since 1984, Diane Farris Gallery has been known for finding and establishing new talent. In the year 2010, the gallery recognizes the strong role played by social media in the production and/or promotion of artwork. We are particularly interested in how social media is affecting the practice of artists who use it to share feedback on their artwork, to promote their artwork, to organize shows or to produce artwork collaboratively.

Social media may include websites, blogging, instant messenger, rss feeds, social bookmarking, Facebook, Blogger, Flickr, MySpace, deviantART, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, Skype and podcasts. Artwork may include painting, drawing, photography, printmaking and three-dimensional work as well as computer-based art, video and performance formats.

All contemporary artists who are able to deliver their work to the Diane Farris Gallery in Vancouver are eligible to apply. We regret we cannot accept shipped works of any kind. You must be an independent artist and not represented by a gallery or any other agent that will prohibit your submission to this show. (Via The Diane Farris Gallery)
