The Art of Selfies
An AMA Art Challenge

UPDATE: Voting is underway on the AMA Facebook Page.
Click Here to Go to the AMA Facebook Page and Vote

​For many, the long weeks of sheltering in place have been a time of some introspection. We’ve learned more about ourselves. The Albany Museum of Art is reaching out to Southwest Georgians to parlay that personal perspective into artwork with its newest challenge, the Art of Selfies.

“We are heartened by the overwhelmingly creative response to the AMA’s first art contest and it was a joy to discover we live among so many talented folks, both near and far,” AMA Executive Director Andrew James Wulf, Ph.D., said. “This new challenge carries forward our deep passion to stay connected to the AMA Family.

“We know you’re out there, we’re thinking of you, and we’d love to see what you do with this new art challenge. Bring it on!”

To enter the contest, create a self-portrait in any medium and email a jpg image of it to annie.vanoteghem@albanymuseum.com by 5 pm on Thursday, May 28. A person may submit one contest entry. There is no cost to enter. All media are welcome, including photography, painting, pencil, pen and ink, pastel, sculpture and mixed media.

The images will be posted in a photo gallery on the museum’s Facebook page, by noon on Friday, May 29. 

Once the photo gallery is posted, voting by “liking” the individual entries will continue through 5 pm on Monday, June 1. The AMA will announce the winners by 6 pm that day. The artwork and winners’ names will be posted here and on the AMA Facebook page, and will be announced and included in a press release to regional news media.
 
The person with the most “likes” will receive a complimentary one-year Supporting Membership in the museum. Second place will receive a Family membership. Those and the third-place winner also will receive an Albany Museum of Art swag bag with AMA merchandise.
Benefits of AMA memberships include invitations to all AMA events, a mailed copy of the AMA’s quarterly magazine, AMArt; discounts for AMA children’s art camps, children and adult art workshops, classes and special programs, and discounts for birthday parties conducted at the AMA.

In addition, the AMA Supporting Membership includes the North American Reciprocal Museum Program that offers admission and museum shop benefits at more than 800 museums across the United States.

The AMA Family Membership includes the Southeastern Reciprocal Museum Program with admission and museum shop benefits to more than 150 museums in the Southeastern United States.
