Announcing the Art Club Fund: $100,000 dedicated to commissioning new digital art
Today, we’re excited to announce the Electric Objects Art Club Fund. In support of our mission to create a digital art experience for every home, we are committing $100,000 to commissioning new works of digital art in 2016. That’s $100,000 for JPGs, GIFs, PNGs, MP4s and art websites.
All artwork funded through Art Club will be made available immediately in the homes of thousands of Electric Objects customers, and on the web for everyone else. To date, we’ve published hundreds of new and original works of art, and have awarded commissions to over 100 artists. You can explore the current Art Club collections here.
With the Art Club Fund, Electric Objects will be one of the biggest commissioning bodies devoted exclusively to digital art. Our goal is to create one of the largest and most forward-thinking collections of digital art on the planet.

Since we started Art Club last year, we’ve commissioned and released over 100 collections of new and original art — working with artists like Björk, Ai Weiwei, Zach Gage, YACHT, Sam Cannon, and many more. 
We’ve displayed Art Club artists’ work at NADA Miami, the New Museum in New York City, and at the Electric Objects Showroom in SoHo. And through our EO1 loaner program, Art Club artists have used EO1 to display their work at great events like SPRING/BREAK Art Show, GLAS Festival in Berkeley, Sónar in Barcelona, and the Centre d'Art Santa Mònica.
Today, we’re also kicking off our next Art Club Open Call. In the past, we’ve received over 1,000 submissions from artists all over the world. Through this Open Call, we’ll select 30 artists to be featured and promoted in Art Club, Electric Objects’ collection of new and original art for EO1. 
To learn more about Art Club, visit our Art Club overview. And if you’re interested in applying for the Open Call, you can find all relevant info, including deadlines and requirements, right here.
Delivering a great art experience in the home starts with the hardware we design, and the software we develop, but its ultimate potential is expressed through the the work of an engaged and supported artist community. We’re excited to see what you make!
