Get matched →The East County Art Association presents !NKED, an exhibition celebrating the expressive, detailed, experimental, and illustrative possibilities of ink. From traditional pen-and-ink drawings to bold marker illustrations, watercolor and ink, mixed media, and contemporary illustration, artists are invited to explore the power of the line, mark, pattern, and gesture. Work inspired by black and white line work in inks, graphite, ball-point pen, marker, and tattoo art is especially welcome.
Submit up to 6 pieces (up to 3 will be accepted). All work must feature black and white ink as a primary or clearly visible part. Accepted mediums include: pen and ink, India ink, technical pens and fineliners, brush and ink, alcohol and acrylic markers, illustration markers, ink wash, watercolor and ink, calligraphy and hand lettering, comic/manga/graphic novel/sequential art, architectural or urban sketching, botanical and scientific illustration, abstract and experimental ink work, mixed media incorporating ink, and ink on unconventional surfaces. AI-generated artwork will not be accepted.

The reception on October 17th, 5–8pm will feature invited local tattoo artists with work on display. Some tattoo artists will offer paid on-the-spot small tattoos. Live inking stations will allow visitors to create their own inked art with the possibility of being featured in the Inktober Show in Gallery 2 in November. The evening includes live music, refreshments, an open bar, and the coffee shop will be open.
All submitted artwork must be the artist's original work and concept, demonstrating the artist's own creative decisions, drawing, composition, and execution. AI-generated artwork will not be accepted.
