About the Open Call
Vox Populi is now accepting submissions for our annual exhibition and fundraiser, Cabinet Of: Vox Populi’s $99 Exhibition, from now until September 25th, 11:59pm. We are asking local Philadelphia artists (within 90 miles of the city) to donate work measuring 8” x10” to be shown and sold at Vox Populi from October 30th to December 15th. All proceeds will be donated to Vox Populi to support programming and operations.
The $99 Exhibition is an anti-auction that levels the playing field for both artists and collectors. All artworks will be the same size, and all priced at $99. Artist names will be revealed only after purchase.
In addition to having your artwork featured in the 6-week exhibition among local and national artists, all contributors will be featured on our website and social media platforms, a free drink ticket at the Cabinet Of: Vox Populi’s $99 Exhibition preview event on Oct. 30th, and be connected with local collectors.
For almost 40 years, Vox Populi has provided space and resources to hundreds of local and national artists through our exhibitions, performances, and other events. Vox is run by a collective of volunteer artist members, who work tirelessly with our Executive Director to program and operate our space. All of the money raised through this exhibition will be poured right back into tangible efforts to support and showcase the Philadelphia arts community: from artist honorariums and programming costs, to maintenance and facilities, to our monthly First Friday events.
