Call for Art: "Timeless Bodies" Juried Exhibition at Oliva Gallery

We invite ceramic artists exclusively from Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin to submit works based on the theme "Timeless Bodies" for an upcoming annual juried exhibition at Oliva Gallery in Chicago, IL. 

Timeless Bodies seeks work that interprets the human form - through sculptural realism, abstraction or vessel construction. Throughout history, the human form has been symbolized as a container of life, emotion, and spirit, reflecting both fragility and resilience. How does the body hold and convey our stories, memories or cultural history? Artists are encouraged to celebrate the interplay of form and storytelling in clay.

[EXTENDED] Photography Now

Exhibition Description: This Open Call invites submissions for an exhibition exploring how women and non-binary artists use photography to engage with the pressing issues of our time. The exhibition seeks to highlight how the photographic medium—whether central or complementary to an artist's practice—can be used to confront, question, and navigate contemporary socio-political challenges, innovative processes, and evolving technologies. Artists are encouraged to reflect on the critical dynamics of this moment, exploring photography’s role in shaping and responding to urgent global and personal narratives. Photography Now is open to artists who incorporate photography into their work, even if it is not their primary medium.
