Welcome to the Gallery Jam!

The Gallery Jam is a jam that encourages people to create more art spaces online to showcase their creativity. Create a gallery and fill it with your art! You can show off anything you've made, painted, or performed as long as it's defined as art! All art in this jam must be 100% human-made and made by you. If you're hosting a group show in your gallery, you must have permission to post the art. "Museum" builds with classical art will not be accepted for the jam.

There are multiple ways to participate:

• BUILD a gallery in a live service game like VRChat, Roblox, Resonite, Second Life, Final Fantasy XIV, or Tower Unite. If your gallery requires mods to view the custom art, advise the user of this in your submission so they can enjoy as intended.
• CREATE A GAME OR APP as an interactive gallery! Use clients like Basis (or even Twine!) to make this happen or build one completely from scratch--it's up to you! If you use an engine like Twine to build your gallery, please don't forget to include actual art in the submission. We want functional galleries to be submitted, not games about galleries.
• RENT an online gallery space and fill it with art! Applicable in places like Second Life, where art communities pool their funds to keep their custom builds going. Contribute to a space and help them create more art programs!
• ADD a gallery you already run online/have built! Yes that's right--if you already have an art gallery online and you want to show it off in this jam, submit it! We want to see your gallery! (It would be really cool to build a new one though but you can also use this time as an excuse to improve your current gallery and submit it after)

Tag your submission online and in-game with #galleryjam so we can find it!

Submissions open on July 7th and close at 11:59pm EST (GMT-4) on October 9th. On October 10th, all submissions will be revealed. Take this time to gather art you've created or create something new! We can't wait to see what you debut.

This jam is brought to you by The Museum of Immersivism. Immersivism is a fine art movement that expresses ideas about the internet and virtual spaces online. It includes both physical and digital works of art like paintings, sculptures, virtual photography, performance, and more. It's existed for decades and is a naturally decentralized genre. You'll find this work both at Art Basel and online being made just for fun!

Lately, it feels like it sucks to be an artist online. Immersivism celebrates artists and encourages them to imagine the internet they want to exist. 

Go forth and make art!
