BRIC’s second open call exhibition, presented in the Gallery of BRIC House, was open to all members of BRIC’s online Contemporary Artist Registry or those who joined during the exhibition submission period. With the upcoming Presidential elections in 2016, this exhibition sought to present work that responds to current social issues and/or embodies hopes and aspirations for the future, given this time of change. Registry artists were able to submit a single work of art to be included in the show.
Two prizes were awarded at the conclusion of the exhibition. A “Best In Show” Prize went to an artwork of exceptional merit selected by BRIC’s Contemporary Art team, with the artist awarded $300 and a solo exhibition of their work at BRIC House the following year. This prize went to artist Karen Ostrom. A “Viewer’s Choice” Prize went to an artwork of exceptional merit selected by the public, with the artist awarded $100 and a profile of their practice on the BRIC Blog. Kritwalee Seneetantikul won this prize.
