Premio Pietra 2026

The Pietra Prize 2026 is an open call for art collaborations curated by Jorge Colvin and Cristián Pietriapiana at The LIC‑A Art Space in Long Island City, NY. Artists are invited to submit collaborative works (two or more artists per piece) in drawing, painting, collage or sculpture, sized between 1 ft² and 8 ft². Selected works will be exhibited from October 1 to November 10, 2026, during which the public will vote for their favorite collaboration. The exhibition offers gallery space, public exposure, and the opportunity for artists to sell their work (100 % of sales go to the artists). Applicants must pay a $30 general application fee or $20 for LIC‑A members. Installation assistance is volunteer‑based, and large works must be delivered via the loading dock. Acceptance notifications are sent by September 15, 2026, and artwork drop‑off is scheduled for September 27. The prize is the exhibition itself and public recognition; no monetary award is provided.
