Open Call for Art:
Unbridled
Fine Art by Architects
Curated by Jaime Bautista
Unbridled is a fine art exhibition conceived by architects exploring their artistic side.
Architects are artists. Yet it is so rare to be able to fully express these ideas freely, outside the constraints of the client’s needs, building codes, costs, zoning…gravity. This is the chance to set your artistic nature free, and we want to help give this a voice!
This open call is directed at architects who want to present their inner imagination without limitations…no holds barred!
Submitted artworks can vary in scope from simple to complex, and capture diverse forms, shapes and sizes; perhaps incorporating unexplored concepts, materials, patterns and strange connections. These conceivably unbuildable visualizations act as vehicles to develop our ideas of the future, or simply inspire our imagination.
The art must be architectural in nature, no matter how bizarre or removed from the laws of physics or reality and represent a habitable structure of some kind. Let your imagination go!
Open to all media types: paintings, 3D models, sketches, drawings, fly-throughs, animations, sculptural artworks, etc. This is a fine art gallery, so works should be conceived of with care and inspiration.
Participating architects are strongly encouraged to explore all types of themes and proposals, including those for impractical structures and buildings, unexplored urban concepts, fantastical transportation alternatives and unconventional landscape proposals. Our 12,000 square foot gallery with 20′ ceilings welcomes submissions for large works and installations.
Submission does not guarantee acceptance. Artists may submit up to 5 works or concepts. There is no submission fee to apply.
Submission Deadline: July 1, 11:59pm
On View: July 25 – September 1, 2019
Opening Reception: July 27, 7-10pm

“The first stroke is the one that counts”.
Ecclesiastical lawyers devised special punishments for the exceptional crimes of witchery and heresy. The Spanish Inquisition used an elaborate range of instruments to fight against those evil works of the devil.

Dysfunctional Society
Digital artist-architect J. F. Bautista highlights a devastating domain of unfamiliar landscapes and heterogeneous architectures, nature drained away and reduced to rubble and dust. Bautista’s discordant and strange images allude to days end, survival, and ultimately the end of our society. He imagines a world where the unexpected presence of dysfunctional structures rise from the fragments of a fallen society and environmental collapse, factories, smoke stacks, nuclear power plants. Bautista delivers an essential ethical message of the dangers of environmental degradation and transcends the viewer beyond our time and our uncertain future.

LIC-Artists Fear Returns
A Fine Art Horror Exhibition and Independent Horror Film Festival
Curated by Tessa Kennedy and Jason Artiga.
LIC Fear Returns is the second incarnation of a horror themed art show that brings us back to the nostalgia of what gave us fear during our adolescence. Artwork should include themes surrounding the supernatural, horror movies, literature, legends, the monsters under our bed and the demons in the closet. The spook that made us jump, lose sleep, or just made us laugh after the adrenaline wears off, inspires this exhibition.
LIC Fear Returns is both a month-long fine art show and an independent horror film festival that runs the last weekend of the exhibition.
