#contest all competition - Petri Dish - Deadline for Entry: October 3, 2011
Exhibition Dates: December 1 - 30, 2011
Reception: December 8th, 6-8pm

Petri Dish is an all media small works exhibit with the primary focus of artist experimentation. Petri dish brings to mind the very idea of experimentation. What does it bring to mind for artists? That is the question and the challenge that we are asking artists to figure out. The work must fit within the parameters of a standard petri dish - 100mmx15mm (approx. 4 in) - The gallery will provide petri dishes for the accepted works. Our juror is Jesse Cohen, DC artist, scientist, and gallery owner. In 2004, he founded artdc.org, a grass roots movement with a membership of over 2,400 members. In 2009 he founded Fine Art Ventures, LLC and the artdc Gallery in Hyattsville, MD.
