The Beauty In Madness - Curators: Praxis Directors 2024
The Beauty in Madness | Curators: Praxis Directors
Madness (mental illness) is something that frightens and fascinates us all. It is a word with which we are universally familiar yet haunts the human imagination.
Through centuries, in poetry, prose, drama, and the visual arts, “madness" has been on display for all to see.
With devastating effect, mental illness can disturb our commonsense assumptions; create unbearable disruptions in the routine of daily living; and turn our experience and our expectations upside down. And yet, it is this upside-down world view that opens a universe of unique and inventive perspectives oblivious to those from free from disruptions of the mind. (think Vincent van Gogh, Edvard Munch, Frida Kahlo, Virginia Woolf and Edgar Allan Poe)
Praxis Gallery seeks work that explores ideas linked to mental health, be it conflict or humor, fiction or fact, or any other literal or ephemeral lens-based investigation. We welcome photographic art that questions conventional assumptions about mental health or celebrates the unique perspective only visible to those who can see the "beauty in madness”. All genres, capture types, black & white and color, traditional and non-traditional photographic and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.

NYC4PA DECAY CORROSION RUST 2024
DECAY, CORROSION, RUST...
“And behind door number 2 – a brand new…….”
US television prizes – all about the “new”. Though we often focus on the new and shiny there is amazing beauty in the decayed, the corroded, the rusted and it can make images of those items so much more compelling and interesting.
Consider the textures and colors in an abandoned, dilapidated factory or prison, the rust on an old bike, contrasting plaster and lathing on a corroded wall and the myriad of possible captures in a junkyard. Neighborhoods, disparagingly called "run down", are treasure troves of "decayed" tumble down houses, "corroded" discarded toys, "rusted" cars, trash cans and so on.
Decay, Corrosion, Rust.... can take many forms; black and white, color, abstract - all photographic media are welcome.
As with all NYC4PA calls, all 2D photographic art is accepted. Note – Images awarded an NYC4PA prize within the past 2 years are not eligible. Images submitted that were not selected for a prize may be submitted at any time.

All About the Light
It’s all about the light! Light and shadow have been the foundation of photography since the beginning. While illumination is important, darkness is an equally compelling component and, together, the elements of a successful photograph. Show us your best light!
Analog and digital manipulation in all its forms welcome. Monochrome or color, all subjects, analog, digital or antique processes, photographers of all skill levels and locations are welcome.
Michael Pannier is an internationally shown fine art and commercial photographer now located in Greenville, SC. Previously based in Maryland, Michael has spent over 30 years in photography and 25 years in the gallery and art world, opening his first gallery in 1987.

Michael is represented in galleries across the country, a frequent exhibition juror and curator, portfolio reviewer, and speaker on the business of fine art photography. When not in South Carolina he can be found leading photographic expeditions in Death Valley and the Eastern Sierras.
The Nude
The fine art nude has been a celebrated subject of photography since the beginning and played an important role in establishing photography as a fine art medium. Early on, both in history and most photographers experience, the nude has been featured in a classical pose and setting, maturing to illustrating the human body as a sculptural abstraction, and with some pushing boundaries.
Analog and digital manipulation in all its forms welcome. Monochrome or color, all subjects, analog, digital or antique processes, photographers of all skill levels and locations where legal are welcome.
Our juror for The Nude is Zoe Wiseman. Wiseman has been involved with photography as a model since 1974 and as a photographer since 2001. Zoe has a passion for fine art and portraiture.
Zoe has been published in several magazines, movie soundtracks, newspapers and books as both model and photographer. Sometimes both modeling and photography in the same publication. Her photography and modeling work is collected worldwide.
Since 1998 Wiseman has run websites promoting the art of photographers from all over the world. She has held yearly festivals since 2002 inviting models and photographers to gather for a week to immerse themselves in a nurturing atmosphere. They have traveled far and wide to attend, from Australia, Ireland, Germany, England and several states within the U.S.A. More may be read about these artist retreats at ZoeFest.photo
35-40 Selected images will hang in the SE Center’s main gallery space for approximately one month with the opportunity to be invited for a solo show at a later date. In addition, selected images are featured in the SE Center social media accounts (FB, IG, Twitter) and an archived, online slide show. A video walkthrough of each exhibition is also featured and archived. Openings are timed to coincide with Greenville, South Carolina's First Fridays, a celebration of art, food and music.
Theme: The Shape of Things | Juror: Ross Anderson 2024
Theme: The Shape of Things | Juror: Ross Anderson
The rhythm of surfaces, lines, and values is for me the essence of photography; composition should be a constant of preoccupation... an organic coordination of visual elements. – Henri Cartier-Bresson
The term composition means ‘putting together’ or the act of combining parts or elements to form a whole - often adhering to compositional principles that make a work of photographic art more appealing or intriguing to viewers. These principles include the development of rhythm, movement, contrast, balance, unity, proximity, and continuity to create expressive and compelling compositions – while emphasizing different visual concepts.
Praxis Gallery seeks the submission of works of art that explore composition as a fundamental aspect of the photographic aesthetic – be it pure visual formalism or in support of thematic objectives. All genres, capture types, black & white and color, traditional and non-traditional photographic and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.
AI VISIONS AWARDS - Categories Photography, Illustration, Digital Painting
Open to artists worldwide, the competition accepts works in illustration, photography, or digital painting. Art must be created with human intervention, using AI as a tool, not the sole creator. Copyrighted material is not permitted without permission.
By including AI-aided photography, the award acknowledges and celebrates the diverse range of artistic expressions that exist today. It sends a message that all forms of art, whether traditional or technologically aided, have value and deserve recognition.
This award not only honors the achievements of those who blend AI with photography but also plays a crucial role in shaping the future of art, where technology and tradition coexist harmoniously.
Exhibition and Display: Winners and selected artworks will be showcased in FotoNostrum and potentially other venues or online galleries, emphasizing the blend of human and AI creativity.
Recognition and Awards: Winners in each category (photography, illustration, and digital painting) receive a $500 cash prize, with recognition given for effectively merging human creativity with AI enhancement.

She received the Charles and Margaret Pollack art purchase award from the Mulvane Museum in Topeka, Kansas, and in 2017, 2018, and 2019 she participated in Dallas in Prizzi, a community inspired mural project in Prizzi, Sicily. She has participated in group shows at the New Orleans Contemporary Art Center, Project Gallery V in New York, Austin College in Sherman, TX, Art Center of the Bluegrass in Danville, KY, and Kansas City Artists Coalition, among others. Solo exhibitions include the Cora Stafford Gallery in Denton, TX, Arts Fort Worth in Fort Worth, TX, and Pencil on Paper Gallery in Dallas, TX. Every day, she feels caught in a cycle of destruction and transformation and translates that sensation into her work. She captures bodies hovering between decay and transformation, broken images whirling through a maelstrom of memory. The physical surfaces she creates mirror the transitions of physical and spiritual bodies. Their fragility is reflected in physically and digitally broken objects, crusted with layers of paint, charcoal, and collage.

Plein Air painting dates back to the French impressionists who left their studios to paint “in the open air.” Plein Air painting is exhilarating and challenging for artists who attempt to quickly capture the light and colors of the scene before them. The French term "plein air" means out of doors and refers to the practice of painting entire finished pieces out of doors rather than in a studio.
There will be a welcome reception for artisits as well as a final reception open to the public during which wet paint competition art pieces will also be sold. Awards presentation for the overall three-day artwork and for wet paint competition will take place during the final reception on 4/27.

TOTAL AWARDS $1000
ELIGIBILITY
This show is open to all photographers residing in California, Oregon, and Washington.
JUROR - JODY MILLER
NVAL is pleased to have Jody Miller as our juror this year.
In her own words:
I have been a photographer for most of my life. I've been making images since I was nine years old, but my real education started in 1982 when I attended the Ansel Adams workshop in Carmel, California. I've been making fine art images non-stop since then.
I spent 40 years as a designer / animator for the television industry in Hollywood, so my profession melded beautifully with my favorite pastime. I now live in Astoria, Oregon, and love the ever-changing light that makes this area so magical.
My body of work has been evolving for over 40 years and has come to fruition in this portfolio of images I share on my webpage - https://www.jodymillerphoto.com/. I am represented by LightBox Photographic Gallery in Astoria, Oregon.
Please see the PROSPECTUS for more information.
Regional Show Framing Program -- $15 to rent one of NVAL's frames and have NVAL frame your work. DETAILS HERE or go to NVAL.org, select Shows/Photography/Regional and click on the Framing Program link.

THEME: On The Road Again | CURATOR: Dallas Crow
From Robert Frank to Justine Kurland, Jack Kerouac to Thelma & Louise, the road has called out to artists. We're looking for images of interstates, blue highways, back roads, gravel roads, small towns, grand vistas, national parks, tourist traps, motels, waysides, truck stops, adventure, solitude, friendship, and kids in the back seat. Take us on a trip where the journey really is more important than the destination. If you've ever fired up a mixtape or a playlist and hit the open road, show us what you brought back.
Praxis Gallery seeks the submission of photographic art that emphasizes the significance of the journey itself over the final destination. The call encourages artists to share their unique perspectives and experiences of the open road. All genres, capture types, black & white and color, traditional and non-traditional photographic and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission. Curated by Dallas Crow

What is digital art: The digital artist uses pixels rather than paint. Pixels can be captured from DSLs to mobile devices. The artists develop images on computers, mobile phones, and tablets to express their creative vision. Many styles of editing are accessible to the artist including digital drawing, digital painting, digital collage with photographs or experimental abstract design or apps. Digital Art is progressive!
Entries must be of original work, they cannot be a copy of another painting; a magazine or newspaper photo, or any type of reproduction; the entry must be the artist’s own composition.
Visit https://client.smarterentry.com/thepix to enter online.
Top works will be chosen and exhibited in our virtual gallery.

Invite us to a realm where the conscious and subconscious blur and reality transform into the surreal.
The Surreal is an international open call for photographers ages 18 and older. All forms of two-dimensional images, traditional and non-conventional media, and conventional or alternative processes with a subjective analog or digital photographic base are welcome for submission.
Fine Grit
AN OPEN CALL FOR “FINE GRIT”
A NATIONAL JURIED ART SHOW NYC APRIL 13 – MAY 12, 2024
SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO 3/13
“What you make from a tree should be at least as miraculous as what you cut down.”
― Richard Powers, The Overstory
Fine Grit: Art & Ideas in Wood
Fine Grit is an exhibition of contemporary artists who use wood as a primary material in their work. From traditional techniques such as hand carved sculpture, woodcuts and pyrography to more recent technologies such as laser engraving and 3D printing, artists have long used wood as a source material and medium. Wood comes directly from nature and each piece has its own unique lifecycle, evident in the processes artists and other makers utilize while working with it.
Fine Grit will feature artists who make work out of wood using a variety of different techniques, methods, aesthetics and scale. Particular interest will be given to artists who consider the origin of their materials and who use wood as subject matter, addressing topics such as forestry, ecology, architecture, human consumption and the changing climate.
The Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition is an artist-run, 501(c)(3) nonprofit. With 25,000 sq. ft. of exhibition space set in a Civil War-era warehouse on the waterfront of Red Hook Brooklyn. The wood beams original to this 1860s historic structure supports not only the gallery walls but artworks on view.
The show will be curated by Alicia Degener, artist and President of the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition. BWAC provides exhibition opportunities to artists of various levels of experience as well as professional development and public engagement. Explore membership opportunities at bwac.org

Theme: Diptych ~ Open Theme
THEME: Diptych ~ Open Theme | JUROR: Sandrine Hermand-Grisel
A photographic diptych is a work of art that consists of two photographs that are arranged side by side. Diptychs can convey a story by connecting seemingly unrelated images. The use of two photographs side by side can allow the photographer to experiment with different compositions and to create a sense of balance or symmetry. The two images in a diptych can represent duality or opposites. They allow the photographer to explore different themes, narratives, compositions, and contrasts.
Praxis seeks photographic art that explores these concepts. If you haven’t created a diptych this is a great opportunity to experiment with this idea by juxtaposing two images side by side. The submission guidelines for Praxis specify that the diptych must be printable on one sheet of paper and fit into preselected matte sizes. See guidelines. All genres, capture types, black & white and color, traditional and non-traditional photographic and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.
Entry Deadline | February 29, 2024
Notice of Acceptance | March 12, 2024
Exhibition Dates | April 20 – May 11, 2024

Flora
Artists throughout the ages have been drawn to the vast and varied world of flora. What moves you? Do you celebrate the essence of beauty or strive to heighten recognition of the perilous path of our environment? Are you inspired by a single bloom or a profusion of blossoms in a lush bouquet, enchanted gardens manicured or messy, plants endangered or invasive, carefully cultivated or sown by nature, bursting forth or shriveling on a vine?
We’re looking for flora, all types from a single stem to a vast landscape, still life, formal gardens, or vegetation gone wild. Color or monochrome, analog, digital or antique processes, photographers of all skill levels and locations are welcome.
Our juror for Flora is Wendi Schneider. Wendi Schneider is a Denver-based visual artist widely known for her ongoing series of hand-gilded photographs, States of Grace - illuminated impressions of grace in the natural world. Drawn to the serenity she finds in the sinuous elegance of organic forms, she embraces photography to preserve vanishing moments of beauty in our vulnerable environment.
35-40 Selected images will hang in the SE Center’s main gallery space for approximately one month with the opportunity to be invited for a solo show at a later date. In addition, selected images are featured in the SE Center social media accounts (FB, IG) and an archived, online slide show. A video walkthrough of each exhibition is also featured and archived. Openings are timed to coincide with Greenville, South Carolina's First Fridays, a celebration of art, food and music.

Theme: The Life of Color | Curators: Praxis Directors 2024
THEME: The Life of Color | CURATORS: Praxis Directors
Color is a dynamic dimension, defined by its three unique components: Hue, Value, and Saturation. These elements serve as the fundamental building blocks in the poetic and symbolic realm of color within creative photography. It's more than a spectacle; it's a psychological journey. Colors evoke moods, thoughts, and concepts with their mere presence, tapping into psychology, biology, and culture.
While black and white photography has its own artistic merits and has been historically significant, color photography is widely embraced for its ability to convey a broad range of information and emotional nuances.
Praxis Gallery seeks the submission of photographic art that explores the implications of color as a central device in the creation of compelling photographic art. All genres, capture types, traditional and non-traditional photographic and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.
Entry deadline: Mon, Feb 18, 2024, 11:59PM CST
Notice of acceptance: Tues, Feb 23, 2024, 4PM CST
Exhibition dates: Mar, 16 – April 13, 2024

The Beauty in Decay
Beauty is subjective in the eye of the viewer. Societal conventions pressure us to conform to like-mindedness, yet the most ethereal craft often originates from divergent work that transgresses tradition. True innovation and creative brilliance often occur when individuals question or break away from established norms. How does your work depict or challenge the concept of beauty?
The Beauty in Decay is an international open call for photographers ages 18 and older. All forms of two-dimensional images, traditional and non-conventional media, and conventional or alternative processes with a subjective analog or digital photographic base are welcome for submission.

NYC4PA COLORS OF THE COMMONPLACE 2024
Colors of the Commonplace
The word “commonplace” suggests things we see without really noticing them. Some synonyms are vanilla, customary, every day, mundane, with examples like doors, buildings, benches, cars, teacups, glasses that you come across everyday while out walking, on the train, in the car, at the supermarket, or even in your own house. The challenge for this call is in creating images where the “Color of the Commonplace” creates an image with impact and makes it pop.
Show us how you choose to meet this challenge. As with all NYC4PA calls for entry all 2d photographs are welcome.

Theme: Black & White | Juror: Elizabeth Flinsch
Theme: Black & White | Juror: Elizabeth Flinsch
More than half a century after the advent of color film, black and white & monochromatic photography continues to capture our collective imagination. Utilizing tone, contrast, texture and shape, monochromatic photography strips its subject to only the most essential visual elements; revealing a sense of soul, substance and meaning – separate from the shifting sentiments, symbolism and cultural associations of color imagery.
Praxis Gallery seeks the submission of photographic works that demonstrate the fundamental qualities that make black and white & monochromatic photography an enduring, contemporary art form. All genres, capture types, black & white and color, traditional and non-traditional photographic and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.
JUROR | Elizabeth Flinsch
Elizabeth Flinsch is a photography educator, curator, and the editor of SHOTS Magazine. She earned her MFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art with a focus on Studio Art and Photography. SHOTS Magazine, based in Saint Paul, Minnesota, is an independent print journal of black and white photography founded in 1986. Elizabeth curates submissions, interviews featured artists, and designs the magazine from cover to cover. Her own artistic roots in traditional printmaking manifest in her affinity for alternative photographic processes. Elizabeth is deeply committed to her vision for the photography landscape as a more equitable realm for women identified, queer, and BIPOC artists.

Introduction: Coos Art Museum (CAM) recognizes the evolving nature of artmaking and the integration of digital tools into the creative process. As part of our commitment to embracing innovation while maintaining the integrity of our juried exhibitions, CAM has developed this policy to address the use of digital tools in artmaking.
Policy Statement:
1. Eligibility: Artists are encouraged to submit artworks that incorporate digital tools as part of their creative process. Artists must adhere to the guidelines outlined in this policy to ensure their eligibility for CAM juried exhibitions.
2. Definition of Digital Tools: Digital tools include, but are not limited to, software applications, digital tablets, computer-generated graphics, digital photography, 3D printing, and any other technology-based tools used in the creation of artwork.
3. Acceptable Use of Digital Tools: Artworks created with digital tools are welcome in CAM juried exhibitions, provided that the artist demonstrates creative intent, originality, and artistic craftsmanship. Artists should clearly describe their use of digital tools in their submission materials to help the jury understand the artistic process. Artworks must primarily consist of the artist's original content, and the use of digital tools should enhance rather than replace the artist's creative input. Artificial Intelligence software or A.I. tools imbedded in Photoshop or other digital media are not allowed to be used for artwork competing for prizes in juried exhibitions. Any pieces using such tools are required to include A.I. visual art software or tools in process descriptions. They may be eligible to be juried into an exhibition, but they cannot be considered for prizes.
4. Prohibited Artwork Types: Reproductions and giclées of original artworks are not eligible for CAM juried exhibitions. Artworks that solely consist of digitally altered or manipulated stock images or commercial graphics without significant (approximately 70%) original creative input will not be accepted
5. Submission Guidelines: Artists must accurately represent their artwork and its creation process in their submission materials. Artists should provide a detailed description of how digital tools were used in the creation of their artwork. Artists must confirm that their submitted artwork is an original creation or part of a limited edition, and they retain the rights to reproduce it for exhibition purposes.
6. Jury Selection: All submitted artworks will be evaluated by CAM's jury based on artistic merit, creativity, and adherence to the guidelines outlined in this policy. The jury may consider the integration of digital tools as part of the artistic process when making selection decisions.
7. Notification and Display: Artists whose work is selected for CAM juried exhibitions will be notified according to the museum's standard procedures. Accepted artworks using digital tools will be displayed in the exhibition alongside traditional art forms. Artwork media for exhibition labels must include the digital tools used in the creation process. Example terms include, but are not limited to, inkjet and oil, monoprint and acrylic, digital print with hand embellishment.
8. Compliance and Enforcement: CAM reserves the right to disqualify any artwork that does not comply with the guidelines outlined in this policy. In the event of a dispute or uncertainty regarding the eligibility of a digital artwork or an artwork using digital tools in its creation, CAM's exhibition committee will make the final decision
9. Policy Revision: CAM may periodically review and update this policy to reflect changes in artistic practices and technological advancements. Conclusion: Coos Art Museum recognizes the value of incorporating digital tools into the artmaking process and encourages artists to explore these creative avenues. This policy aims to provide clarity and fairness in evaluating artworks that use digital tools while upholding the integrity of CAM's juried exhibitions. Artists are encouraged to reach out to CAM for any clarifications or inquiries regarding this policy
Abstract Image
The SE Center for Photography is looking for non-representational imagery, though it can be from found objects in nature, man made or figurative works. We're seeking images that do not attempt to represent external reality, but seek to achieve its effect using shapes, forms, colors, and texture. Black-and-white or color, analog, digital or antique processes, photographers of all skill levels and locations are welcome.
Our jurors for the Abstract Image are Lisa Woodward and Mia Dalglish, the Co-Curators at Pictura. Motivated by a desire to create meaningful experiences with photographic art, collaboratively, they produce the gallery’s year-round programming. They work to generate thoughtful and nuanced exhibits, showcasing projects with strong formal sensibilities and depth of content.
They serve as portfolio reviewers for conferences and festivals such as FotoFest, Review Santa Fe, Photolucida, and Les Rencontres d’Arles. They also serve as jurors for photographic competitions and as guest critics for university classrooms.
35-40 Selected images will hang in the SE Center’s main gallery space for approximately one month with the opportunity to be invited for a solo show at a later date. In addition, selected images are featured in the SE Center social media accounts (FB, IG, Twitter) and an archived, online slide show. A video walkthrough of each exhibition is also featured and archived. Openings are timed to coincide with Greenville’s, First Fridays, a celebration of art, food and music.

The Call to Artists for Yosemite Renaissance 39 has been extended to Wednesday, January 17th, 2024.
Celebrate Yosemite and the California Sierra. Share your Vision!
The Yosemite Renaissance Exhibition is an annual exhibit that offers an opportunity for artists inspired by Yosemite and the California Sierra Nevada region to display, promote and sell their art. The exhibit opens at Yosemite Gateway Art Center in Oakhurst, CA, then travels on to other venues in California.
Awards
$4,000 in cash awards will be announced at the opening reception at Yosemite Gateway Art Center in March 2023.
Yosemite Renaissance is a non-profit art organization founded in 1985 to encourage artists to create diverse interpretations of Yosemite National Park and the surrounding Sierra Nevada region. The organization seeks to inspire a new generation of people to understand, preserve and protect our wild lands and natural places.
Philosophy and Approach
For over 150 years, artists have played an important role in the establishment of our state and national parks, inspiring people to visit iconic natural sites, and to protect our natural resources.
Subject matter must be related to the landscape, environment, wildlife and people of Yosemite National Park and the Sierra Nevada region. Both representational and non-representational submissions are allowed. We encourage artist who apply to celebrate the beauty and wonder of nature through art, but also to consider and explore environmental issues, ecology, biology, forestry, current events, political, spiritual and cultural themes.
Contributing artists should be aware of the geographic range of the show. While the nexus of the exhibit is Yosemite National Park, the scope of the show also includes Sequoia National Park, Sierra National Forest, Ansel Adams Wilderness, Mono Lake, Bodie, the White Mountains, and more. The high Sierra, east side and west side foothills and canyons from Lake Tahoe to Tehachapi are all included! The area is huge, consisting of thousands of acres of rugged peaks, deep valleys, forests, lakes and streams. If your work is inspired by these places, it will be considered.
Mastery of traditional media, technical expertise, style and personal vision are important factors in the selection process. Yosemite Renaissance also encourages innovation. Jurors will consider the use of new tools, technologies, materials and techniques.
Monochromatic
Monochromatic is an exhibition exploring the emphasis of color in the captured image. A monochrome photograph is commonly considered a black and white or grayscale, but a monochromic color scheme is a balance of tones, tints, and shades of a single hue. Potential subject media includes but is not limited to early photographic processes, such as cyanotype, analog film, infrared, sepia, tintype, etc., and modern digital post-production techniques. What's your interpretation of monochromatic?
Monochromatic is an international open call for photographers ages 18 and older. All forms of two-dimensional images, traditional and non-conventional media, and conventional or alternative processes with a subjective analog or digital photographic base are welcome for submission.
Submission Deadline: January 15th, 2024

Street Life
Bay Area Artists are invited to submit up to 3 entries to our February Gallery exhibition. "Street Life" - explore our world around you. Take a cue from street photography and be inspired by unexpected encounters in public spaces. What are the ‘snippets of everyday life’ that call to you? What captures your attention? All media welcome except video.
Juror: Thomasina De Maio, Artist & Founder of Art Saves Lives
Please carefully read the Call for Entries for complete details.
The Woman's View
The history of photography has a long tradition of representing women as subjects but has less to say about women as artists. Today, the roles of women in photography are both behind the camera and in front of it. Who understands women better than women? The female perspective offers an important view of the many facets of womanhood and women’s role in society. This exhibition seeks women photographers who explore and celebrate the myriad ways that they render female-identifying subjects.
Our juror for Women by Women is Renée Jacobs, one of the most celebrated photographers of the female nude of our time. Recipient of the prestigious International Photography Award for Fine Art Nude, her work has been exhibited and published around the world.
35-40 Selected images will hang in the SE Center’s main gallery space for approximately one month with the opportunity to be invited for a solo show at a later date. In addition, selected images are featured in the SE Center social media accounts (FB, IG) and an archived, online slide show. A video walkthrough of each exhibition is also featured and archived. Openings are timed to coincide with Greenville’s, First Fridays, a celebration of art, food and music.
NAWA Sisterhood: Inspiration from our members past & present
The National Association of Women Artists was founded in 1889 in New York, where it is still headquartered today. 2024 marks our 135th anniversary of supporting women’s art in the US. The goal of this exhibition is to celebrate the sisterhood that is NAWA and our mission promoting the awareness of, and interest in, visual art created by women in the United States. When this support happens, bonds form and “Sisterhood” is the result. Although not required for acceptance into this exhibit, we encourage you to help us celebrate our rich history by choosing a NAWA member who may have influenced or inspired you in your art making. When we honor our historical tradition, it forges and strengthens the path for the future while celebrating our present. By pairing your work with a statement about another female artist who came before you and inspired you, history is implied. Historically, too often women continue to face barriers to showing and selling their work. By honoring a previous member artist you are acknowledging that her work, her life, her creativity has held special, even personal meaning to another artist. This is a way of telling the world how these artists, well known or not, have inspired and furthered the NAWA tradition.

NYC4PA FROM A SEED - BOTANICALS 2023
Both through world travel and exploring the neighborhoods we live in, we come across the vast variety of botanicals both indigenous to local areas and, with controlled climates, those native to far away places. We gain an appreciation for the variety of life that starts with a seed, whether it be the spectacular greenery of a forest or jungle, the exciting beauty of flowers bursting with color, wonderful edibles like bright red tomatoes and pink blushed peaches or the textures and layers of botanicals in a black and white print.
With autumn approaching in the northern hemisphere and spring in the southern, capture your unique view of favorite flowers, trees, variegated leaf patterns, vines, fruit etc. in gardens, at the beach, on your window sill, in a snow covered park, or in the rain forest.

Whiplash
January 11 to February 10, 2024

About the Theme: Whiplash is an injury to the head or neck that results from a severe jerk to the head. The aggregate news from the past few years – from national politics to women’s healthcare to global wars – is tantamount to repeated jerks to the head. We don’t know where to look, what to read, what to avoid, what to protest. There’s a mental whiplash at play, and it is surfacing in art as well as on the world’s stage.
South Shore Art Center’s Annual Gallery Artist juried Exhibition is open to SSAC Gallery Artists in good standing. Media categories are oil and acrylic, encaustic and cold wax, drawing and pastel, watercolor, printmaking, fiber arts, mixed media/3D, photography, digital media, and 3D. It is particularly important to us because it represents our community of talented Artists.
South Shore Art Center will be processing initial art intake online via Smarter Entry. This will allow for automated exhibition paperwork and fees, and will minimize contact when dropping off the physical works of art. The Smarter Entry system does not have the capacity to determine whether memberships are current. Art Center staff will review each entry and will contact anyone with lapsed memberships. If your Gallery Artist membership has lapsed, we will ask that you renew prior to the exhibition installation or when dropping off your work.

Theme: Dusk Till Dawn • Curated By: Praxis Directors
THEME: Dusk till Dawn | CURATORS: Praxis Directors
“Night does not show things, it suggests them. It disturbs and surprises us with its strangeness. It liberates forces within us which are dominated by our reason during the daytime.” ―Brassai
Spanning two centuries, the magic of night photography has captured the collective imagination of the masses. From the infamously long exposures required by early artists to high-speed color film and the advent of digital technology, the light at night has inspired an explosion of interest among contemporary artists. Natural vistas, celestial bodies, urban landscapes, artificial structures, and nocturnal interludes represent but a few of the limitless subjects of nighttime photography.
Praxis Gallery seeks the submission of photographic works that explore the fundamental qualities that make night photography – from dusk to dawn – a compelling contemporary art form. All genres, capture types, black & white and color, traditional and non-traditional photographic and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.

The Art of Food
The Art of Food is an exhibition exploring the intersection of food, art, and culture in a rich and universal theme. Food offers a viewpoint through which we can express human creativity, history, and traditions through the essence of nourishment. Consider the culinary arts and how various cultures use food as symbols in their meals. From decadent desserts, fast food, and home-cooked dinners, imagine food as a medium for social commentary conveyed through the language of food. Ask yourself, are we what we eat? What is or isn't on your plate?
The Art of Food is an international juried group exhibition open to artists ages 18 and older. All forms of two-dimensional, traditional, and non-conventional art media (e.g., digital and film photography, video, oil painting, watercolor, acrylic, mixed media, collage, drawing media such as graphite, charcoal, pencils, pen and ink, arts and crafts, etc.) are welcome for submission.

Theme: Empty Places : Abandoned Spaces (Dec. 2023) • Juror Ross Anderson
Through the visual representation of abandoned spaces, artifacts of history are at once new but decayed, ancient yet fresh. The past takes on new life in these forsaken, ruined, or empty spaces as we wonder, Who were the people who lived and worked here? What were their lives like? What were their stories? Where did they go?
Praxis Gallery seeks the submission of photographic art that explores the visual and social significance of what is left behind, in which crumbling factories, derelict churches, private homes, and other empty places serve as the basis for creative investigation. All genres, capture types, color and black & white, traditional, and non-traditional photographic and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.

NYC4PA LUMINOSITY
Photography is all about light – its presence as well as its absence. There is an iconic photograph of Grand Central Station with streams of sunlight filling the airspace as it reflects off dust particles in the air. For photographers the time of day an image is captured can be as important as the selection of the subject itself. What may be nothing more than a snapshot at one time of day, becomes an impactful image at another. Strategically placed lighting is critical in creating great portraits and late afternoon is a
world of shadow and light that warms everything it touches.
For this call we are looking for images where the presence, absence, and/or the location of light made the difference.
Glare, flare, shadow, fill light all work as do lampshades aglow from an inside bulb, night lights in a city, streaming rays of sunlight.
There are examples everywhere. Show us your shots where light is a key element. All 2D photo mediums are welcome.

From breathtaking landscapes to intimate portraits, "INSTANT INSPIRATIONS" captures the essence of life's beauty and complexity. Each photograph on display is a testament to the power of accessibility and spontaneity in modern image-making.
Join us on this visual journey, where "INSTANT INSPIRATIONS" demonstrates that extraordinary artistry can emerge from the ordinary. Immerse yourself in the world of mobile photography and witness how these tiny lenses have forever changed the way we view and share our world.

home [hohm] n., v., adj., adv
The Rocky Neck Art Colony (RNAC) invites artists to submit work for inclusion in home [hohm] n., v., adj., adv, an open juried exhibition at the Cultural Center and online at RNACexhibitions.com.
What is home? The idea of home has many different connotations and possibilities. It can reference a structure, a state of mind and even an idea of being. It is a noun, adjective, verb and adverb. We ask artists to explore the significance and role that home plays in our lives. How the spaces we inhabit represent ourselves, values, desires and cultures. Artists might consider the physical, psychological, environmental, political and spiritual implications of homes. All mediums accepted.

Works on Paper
AN OPEN CALL FOR “WORKS ON PAPER”
A NATIONAL JURIED ART SHOW NYC JUNE 1 – JUNE 23, 2024
For many, the freedom and immediacy afforded by working on paper is instrumental to their practices, spawning new techniques and aesthetics, subjects and methods. Works On Paper encompasses a diverse range of media — from drawing, printmaking, painting, collage, and beyond. Far from being confined to studies and experiments, works on paper represent important modes of art-making in their own right.

All Things Edible
Food is at the center of many of life’s most important events. When we gather together for a meal, the dishes we share often tell a story—and we share a bit of ourselves. Still lifes, genre scenes, cartoons, photographs, and sculpture may illustrate both the serious and the humorous sides of food as a symbol of cultural identities, celebrations and expressions of comfort, memories and joy. We invite artists to explore and celebrate “All Things Edible”.
All entries are accepted. This show is juried for prizes only.
Member Pricing -1 Entry: $20.00 Each Additional Entry: $5.00 Maximum 3
Non Members Pricing - 1 Entry: $25.00 Each Additional Entry: $7.50 USD Maximum 3

Submit your JPEG's by Sunday, April 28, 2024 by midnight.
Lorenka Campos will be judging the exhibit. See our website for bio information. There is no personal feedback given by jurors.
What is digital art: The digital artist uses pixels rather than paint. Pixels can be captured from DSLs to mobile devices. The artist develops images on computers, mobile phones and tablets to express their creative vision. Many styles of editing are accessible to the artist including digital drawing, digital painting, digital collage with photographs or experimental abstract design or apps. Digital Art is progressive!
All work should be of the artist’s own creation. Digital painting, digital collage and digital photographic work can use AI images as a component, but not solely as the created work. Editing software or apps that use components which are not generated by the artist, use of components of an image that are potentially recognizable by the original artist, or any use of word generated AI must be disclosed despite ownership or copyright agreements.
All artwork must be created within the past three years.
The jury may accept a maximum of two works from any one artist. Payment is non-refundable and does not guarantee acceptance.
Artist notification by email and posted on our website on May 10, 2024. All those who submitted jpegs will be emailed. If you do not receive an email by May 10th, contact manager@capecodartcenter.org. Check your junk and promotion email folders.

Theme: The Portrait | Juror: Layne Kennedy 2024
Theme: The Portrait | Juror: Layne Kennedy
“Making portraits is more than a physical form, it’s a silent communication in understanding and respect between the photographer and the subject. There’s an internal emotion and fire of the soul that you try to capture. – Sandra”
In her book, Portraits and Persons, writer Cynthia Freeland describes three essential elements that constitute a portrait: “(1) a recognizable physical body (2) an inner life, i.e., some sort of psychological or mental states and (3) self-presentation, or the "posing.”
Praxis Gallery seeks the submission of photographs that celebrate the aesthetic and conceptual considerations involved in the creation of the portrait: revealing personal narratives or new anthologies through the artistic representation of the subject. All genres, capture types, black & white and color, traditional and non-traditional photographic and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.

NYC4PA PORTALS 2024
Portals is one of our favorite themes. It allows for so much creativity capturing things that are all around wherever we may be.
Doors and windows and arches and frames and tunnels are so much a part of our lives. There are so many ways to think about them. We can look at them, or through them. We can poke our hand out the window to test the weather, or just see a wonderful scene a little differently when framed by an arch or array of tree limbs in a park.
For this call your images can focus on the "portal" itself like a half closed door, a wonderful windowsill or the view through an archway to the other side. Does it frame the main subject of the photograph or does it add another dimension, such as the distortions of old glass or reflections in windowpanes.
Once again, we invite you to be creative and have fun in the process.
As with all calls, all 2D photographic art is accepted. Note – Images awarded an NYC4PA prize within the past 2 years are not eligible. Images submitted that were not selected for a prize may be submitted at any time.

The region encompassed by the show includes Oakhurst, Coarsegold, North Fork, Yosemite Lakes Park, and communities along Highway 49 from Ahwahnee to Mariposa. The show takes place in artist's studios, homes, art galleries, wineries, and other businesses.
Participating artists are featured in the tour catalog, included in a month-long Preview Exhibit, and benefit from an extensive advertising campaign. While successful sales are important, the promotional exposure alone is worth the cost of participation. Networking opportunities, offers to participate in other exhibits, and post-show sales often result from showcasing your work during Sierra Art Trails.
Sierra Art Trails 2024 will take place over two weekends, Friday through Sunday, Oct. 4th - 6th and 11th – 13th. Artists can elect to show any number of days, from only one to all six days of the event. Show dates for each artist are indicated in the exhibit catalog.

We do not accept mass-produced crafts, gift items, etc.
Sierra Art Trails is open to both local artists and artists from outside the area. Artists with studios located in Eastern Madera and Mariposa Counties are encouraged to show in their home studios and share their show sites with others. Our planning committee will work with artists who do not have access to a suitable show site to help them find a location to exhibit their work.
Please note that artists must be present to participate. Meeting the artists and learning how and why they create is an important aspect of the show. Artists must be present at their sites from 10 am to 5 pm on the days they choose to exhibit.
If you have questions, please contact us by phone at (559) 658-8844, or email us at info@sierraarttrails.org.

What's So Funny?
The Rocky Neck Art Colony (RNAC) invites artists to submit work for inclusion in What’s So Funny? an open juried exhibition at the Cultural Center and online at RNACexhibitions.com.
Humor in art serves many purposes, as a light moment in dark times, as a commentary to illuminate or challenge, or simply as a small treat, a bit of candy. It appears throughout art history in various periods and styles: in the mischievous work of Duchamp and Oldenburg; the dark satires of Goya and Grosz; the clever spotlight on everyday life of Breughel and Saul Steinberg; the biting expressionism of Robert Colescott; the laugh-out-loud body parts series of John Baldessari; and in the gentle, unpretentious self-portraits of Milton Avery.
RNAC is inviting artists to submit work (in all mediums)which embodies elements of humor. It may be reflected in the style, subject matter, mood, materials, method of execution or in whatever way the artist chooses. The work will be judged on its capacity to provoke thought, introduce commentary, and, not least, to amuse! Let’s make ‘em think, giggle, guffaw, and blush!

Abandoned
Abandoned is an exhibition exploring abandoned and rediscovered objects, spaces, and structures. A popular genre in the photographic world is the trend of urban exploration ("urbex") — the exploration of abandoned or forgotten places to document the narrative of those who lived or worked there. Through the captured image, we can glimpse the ephemeral nature and memory of ourselves and our surroundings and preserve them before being lost to time and place. What do these structures and objects convey about society as we leave them to decay? What is the essence of time and place, and what-or whom-are we abandoning?
Abandoned is an international open call for photographers ages 18 and older. All forms of two-dimensional images, traditional and non-conventional media, and conventional or alternative processes with a subjective analog or digital photographic base are welcome for submission.
CATography Show
Show us Cats in their noblest, most elegant, memorable, and humorous portrait.
We will skip the usual clichés (Scratch around for your best entry!) and instead beseech you to intently consider the CAT essence of Your Best Friend. No credit cards, no staying out late with the boys/girls (well, OK, so they stay out REALLY late), no electronics…just love…their own empty box, and a daily sunbath for an hour or so. If you want to know pure, unadulterated and everlasting LOVE, well, MAYBE, just MAYBE, CAT will provide.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
A maximum of 3 images can be submitted.
1 image $15
Each additional image is $10
ACCEPTANCE: The exhibition will consist of approximately 60 photographs chosen from submissions. Photographers will be notified of their acceptance approximately two weeks after the submission deadline. Instructions for delivery or shipping of all artwork will be included in the acceptance email.

Cape Cod Art Center seeks submissions for “WABI-SABI 2024". Photographers of any level are invited to submit to this open juried online photography exhibit.
Wabi-Sabi is the Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfections of nature and of accepting the natural cycle of growth and decay. As artists we often seek items that are "perfect", with no blemishes or defects. Wabi Sabi teaches us to find beauty in everyday life, to revere things that are imperfect, impermanent, and/or incomplete, to embrace crows feet, rust, and frayed edges, and "to celebrate the cracks and crevices and all the other marks that time, weather, and loving use leave behind.”
Any interpretation of the theme will be considered. Cash prizes awarded for Best in Show, First Place, Second Place and Honorable Mention.
Submit your JPEG's by Sunday, July 14, 2024 by midnight.
Lisa Cuchara will be judging this exhibit. There is no personal feedback given by juror.
Photographs used must be the artist's own. Photo editing apps and programs such as Photoshop and Lightroom may be used to enhance original photographs. Digital scans, stock, image downloads or word generated AI images may not be used.
All artwork must be created within the past three years.
The jury may accept a maximum of two works from any one artist. Payment is non-refundable and does not guarantee acceptance.
Artist notification by email and posted on our website on July 26, 2024. All those who submitted jpegs will be emailed. If you do not receive an email by July 26th, contact manager@capecodartcenter.org. Check your junk and promotion email folders.

SHOW DESCRIPTION: – Plein air painting is about leaving the four walls of your studio behind and experiencing painting and drawing in the landscape. The practice goes back for centuries but was truly made into an art form by the French Impressionists. Their desire to paint light and its changing, ephemeral qualities, coupled with the creation of transportable paint tubes and the box easel—the precursor to the plein air easels of today—allowed artists the freedom to paint “en plein air,” which is the French expression for “in the open air.”

What is digital art: The digital artist uses pixels rather than paint. Pixels can be captured from DSLs to mobile devices. The artist develops images on computers, mobile phones and tablets to express their creative vision. Many styles of editing are accessible to the artist including digital drawing, digital painting, digital collage with photographs or experimental abstract design or apps. Digital Art is progressive!

Editing software or apps that use components which are not generated by the artist, use of components of an image that are potentially recognizable by the original artist, or any use of word generated AI must be disclosed despite ownership or copyright agreements.
All artwork must be created within the past three years.
