Artist Services and Opportunities

For filmmakers and media artists, Aurora Picture Show offers a home for exhibition of films that do not traditionally have as many outlets, including short-length films, documentaries and experimental works. 

Aurora is committed to paying artist fees for screenings to encourage and support these often under-paid media and film artists, and we are committed to keeping submissions and entry fees accessible.  Entry fees go to cover costs only.  We do not profit from submissions.

Membership with Aurora Picture Show also provides opportunities for reduced submission fees, access to website listings for call-for-entires and other posted opportunities, local networking with visiting filmmakers and curators, feedback from industry professionals and other industry-oriented gatherings that help working and aspiring artists further their craft.  We also highlight members in our Curator's Corner to introduce emerging artists to our congregation online.

Additionally, through the Warhol Foundation Initiative, Aurora Picture Show, DiverseWorks and Project Row Houses have come together to support art at its source by providing direct grants to artists through The Idea Fund.
