Dear Connie, Ting Yu Ma

As a past participant of Into the Pixel (ITP) and/or one of our many ITP friends, we are pleased to announce that Into the Pixel 2009 is now open for submissions. As you know, Into the Pixel is the world’s only exhibition that brings together the fine art and digital art worlds to explore and celebrate the art of the video game.

The sixteen artists that will be selected for this year’s class will join a well-regarded group of notable artists, such as Daniel Dociu, Jeremy Bennett, Ryan Church, Tyler West, Stephan Martiniere and Ryan Stevenson. The highly visible Into the Pixel collection has been featured at both national and international events including the Toronto International Film Expo, South-by-Southwest, Design-Center in Stuttgart, Germany and at AnimFX New Zealand.

Our esteemed jury members, led by Louis Marchesano of the Getty Research Institute and Kevin Salatino of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, thoroughly represent both the interactive and fine art worlds. Their knowledge and diversity will result in a very impressive collection.

We ask that you please forward this email to anyone you know who may want to submit their art for consideration by the 2009 ITP Jury. The deadline for submitting art is April 10, 2009.

For more information on this year’s jury, past years’ Collections, and/or to submit art, please go to www.IntoThePixel.com.
