I AM HERE - a partnership, Studio Montclair and OutMontclair

Studio Montclair seeks entries for I AM HERE - a collaboration with OutMontclair
at the Studio Montclair Gallery located in the heart of Montclair from September
15 – October 20, 2023.
The exhibition, I AM HERE, is seeking submissions from artists whose work reflects
what it means to be queer and be ourselves. This theme can take many forms and is
open to interpretation! In the face of all the emotions we contend with, this showcase of
artwork is an opportunity to be heard about your anger, your hopes, your fears, and
your dreams! The title of the show expresses the joy and power queer communities feel
as they take up space, gather together, making themselves known to be heard and
seen.

Inspired by the Weight of Object

2023 INSPIRED BY Exhibition: The Weight of Object

For this exhibit the curators are asking artists to consider how size, perspective or repetition of an object as compositional can be interpreted. Take into consideration the position, the angle or the visual weight of an object within the picture plane and how this impacts a viewer’s understanding of a work.
