Into the Pixel E3 Art Exhibit Calls For Submissions

The organizers of the 2005 Into the Pixel Art Exhibition (ITP), which will take place at May's Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles, and focus on 'the exploration and celebration of the art of the video game', are asking for submissions to be includes in this year's exhibition. The exhibit will feature a representative sampling of up to 16 works of video game art, selected by a panel of jurors, and offers an opportunity for published video and computer game artists to be reviewed and recognized by the public and by their peers in both the art and video game fields. ITP is a joint effort between The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences, E3 and The Graphic Arts Council of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Prestigious ITP jurors include Kevin Salatino from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and Louis Marchesano from the Getty, as well as award-winning artist Stephan Martiniere, gallery owner Billy Squire, Oddworld founder and creative director Lorne Lanning and USC School of Cinema's Chris Swain. The deadline for all submissions is April 4, 2005, and details about submissions can be found at the official Into The Pixel submission page.
