CALL FOR ARTISTS

CONFLUENCE 2014

VAM ART, Inc. (www.vamartinc.com) is pleased to announce the planning of its 8
th

Contemporary Art Exhibition titled CONFLUENCE 2014. The show will open at VAM Arts gallery
in Metuchen, NJ circa December, 2014 and will highlight artworks from esteemed artists from
the United States.
We invite American painters, graphic artists, sculptors and photographers who have a proven
record of professional presence in their respective fields. Those artists who have appeared in
shows of national and international stature are invited to participate. We encourage artists to
submit their Artist CV along with jpg file images of their recent works.
VISION:
Fear and uncertainty pervades most modern men and can lead to the erosion of human values
and love for fellow beings. As universal modes of expression, music and art have played key
roles in cultural evolution. Todays cultural expressions are considered to be visual records of
present social and political life . Many aspects will be decoded by future generations to
recognize the quality of life we lead today. Therefore, the responsibility of todays artists is
significant enough not to be discarded by future generations.
Art and life are interwoven as with many other disciplines. Akin to science and philosophy, art
has the power to positively influence humanity. Irrespective of subjectivity and medium, art
from any location transmits an energy that is universal. This universal aspect of art is important
when considering the fact that one of the purposes of art is to soothe the wounded and
desperate.
The number of artists worldwide who incorporate ideas and research from other genres is
vastly increasing. Todays artworks reflect the assimilation of a multitude of subjects and
disciplines. This sense of compendium in creativity is a good sign of progress in many different
faculties - including art.

CONCEPT:
Our goal is to showcase works of art that are experimental in content and medium without
sacrificing the essential purity and sanctity of aesthetics.
Artists submissions can belong to any genre: Painting, digital art, sculpture, graphic
productions etching and photographs. We encourage artists to submit up to five images of their
latest artworks along with details for review. Once selected, artists should have their works
properly prepared for exhibition. During this period, and prior to the exhibition, artists will be
asked to sign a standard format Consignment Agreement (CA) to enable us to promote the
show properly and in a timely manner. Apart from their participation in CONFLUENCE 2014,
the selected artists will qualify as one of our outstanding international artists and he or she will

the CA.
