Zeke’s : America’s Favorite Pastime

Application Deadline: Monday, March 13 @ Midnight

Zekes’ Coffee Shop and Maryland Art Place (MAP) are seeking artworks related to baseball, America’s favorite pastime. Baseball has played a major role throughout American history. We’re excited to get the ball rolling on this ‘call for artists’’ who pass their time painting, documenting, photographing or creating anything related to the love of the game! Let’s root, root, root for the ball team while knocking this show out of the park thanks to all our baseball art enthusiasts! Oriole themed artwork is encouraged but not required! 

Call for artists: The Sleepover

The Sleepover is an international community art project that explores the significance of female gathering traditions.

Women of all ages and backgrounds are invited to share art inspired by their personal experiences with sleepovers, religious traditions, sewing circles, girl scouts, mehndi parties, baby showers, unique family customs--the list goes on! While the project team is based in Maryland, we welcome all US and international entries.

We're seeking visual art, memories, short stories, music, sound art, essays, videos, poems, physical objects, and multidisciplinary work. These will be curated for digital exhibition and serve as inspiration for an original theatre piece. The Sleepover is supported in part by the Maryland State Arts Council (msac.org).

Many new artists that are beginning to exhibit their works may be asked to give an artist talk at an opening they’re not quite prepared for. Well-seasoned makers that have made recent changes in the direction of their practice may like to solidify their new ideas into words. An up-and-coming curator may be looking to discuss their practice and what got them interested in such a behind-the-scenes position in the art world. And many professors who are practicing artists may have wanted to discuss their unique challenges in being able to balance two demanding careers.
