PONSHOP Studio and Gallery will be hosting the third annual "Remixed" Vinyl Album Art Show in August 2015. We’ve rescued stacks of old Christmas records, wiped the dust off and, with your help, will turn them into something that people actually enjoy– a fun work of art.

Spinning at 33 1/3 rpm
Here’s how the show works: once you pay the entry fee, we provide you with up to three ready-to-hang vinyl albums (the fee is $12 per record, or $30 for three). You have until July 31 to turn your album into a work of art, which will be exhibited throughout the month of August. The theme and medium are up to you, but there is one rule: each record is mounted on wood block with hanging wire and must stay mounted in order to be suitable for display on our gallery walls.
Eligibility
This exhibit is open to all artists (professional and emerging) in the Virginia/DC/Maryland Region.
Submission Requirements
All artists must use the pre-mounted vinyl albums (provided when you pay the entry fee) and all work must be for sale. Submit your best work! The gallery reserves the right to reject submissions based on quality: uniqueness and creativity, craftsmanship and execution. Entries must be original creations of the artist – no reproductions of others artwork. See examples of the pre-mounted albums below:
