Call to Artists: Flora & Fauna

Flora & Fauna invites artists to celebrate characters of the natural world, real and imagined, living and extinct, peaceful and poisonous. Nature is mankind’s greatest muse when creating art, and there is a long and rich history of artists representing plants and animals in their artwork, often with layered and hidden meanings. Artists of all media are encouraged to submit!

Annual Juried Regional Show: Beyond Comfort

Beyond Comfort invites artists working in all mediums to express their perception of beauty and/or the grotesque in contemporary art and society. This show allows artists to define and explore aesthetics while joining the long debated concept of beauty and its function in art.

Juror: Virginia Shearer, Executive Director, Sarasota Art Museum of Ringling College of Art and Design.
