About the Juror:
VIVIAN CHIU was born in Los Angeles and emigrated to Hong Kong at the age of three. Her interests in creating objects and the visual arts led her to attend the Rhode Island School of Design (BFA '11 Furniture Design) and Columbia University (MFA '19 Sculpture). With an aptitude for problem-solving and sensitivity toward materials, Vivian utilizes continuous deconstruction and reconstruction to create optical sculptures and explore ideas of visibility and perception.
Vivian has attended residencies such as the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, Sculpture Space, Haystack Mountain School, Anderson Ranch Arts Center, the Museum for Art in Wood, and Penland School of Crafts. She is part of the 2022 American Craft Council Emerging Artists Cohort. She was awarded a 2020 NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship in Craft/Sculpture, the 2023-24 VMFA Visual Arts Fellowship in Crafts, and was recently a third-place prize winner for the Virginia A. Groot Grant.

Special Notes:
Frames:
We stongly suggest black frames and white mats. Elaborate frames, and decorative frames distract from the artwork.
Typing:
What you type is what we use! Be careful when entering data, (your name, titles, prices, medium and sizes). We use what you type to produce the catalog sheets, labels and the website. We will not change the prices or other information once you have submitted the form.
Titles of Your Artwork:
Can't think of a title for your artwork? You can use "Untitled". But if you are submitting more than one entry as untitled, then name them: Untitled 1, Untitled 2, etc. This way you will know which one(s) are accepted by the juror when we notify you of accepted entries.
Capitalization:
Please don't use all lowercase or ALL CAPITALS for your name and titles.
For example:
Artist Name: jane doe or JANE DOE is not acceptable. Jane Doe is acceptable.
Title: blue skies or BLUE SKIES is not acceptable. Blue Skies is acceptable.
Please don't cause us extra work by causing us to edit your entry data for our labels and catalogs.
Thank you for your kind attention to these few rules.
Using a MAC? Sometimes JotForm and MACs don't work well together. Give us a call and we can try to create a work around to get your artwork submitted. If you visit the art center we can assist you on one of our computers if you are having problems.
