Call to Artists Maya Cinemas Juried Art Competition

Maya Cinemas and the Arts Council of Kern (ACK) have collaborated to organize the second round of a juried art competition featuring works inspired by movies and the movie going experience. Six winners will be chosen and their art work will be enlarged to 12x18 and installed on the exterior of Maya Cinemas. Each winner will be eligible to use 2 free movie passes per week from December 2012-July 2013 exclusively at Maya Cinemas. ELIGIBILITY: This contest is open to all artists, age 18 and over, currently residing in Kern County. Original works only and work must have been completed within the last two years. Entries must follow the movie theme, specifically: art that features characters from movies, actors likenesses, or themes related to the movie going experience (popcorn, 3d glasses, etc.).
