CALL FOR ENTRIES:

Stems Plein Air Paint, an annual plein air competition in the Kansas City area, is proud to offer our event this summer as a national juried show, welcoming the many plein air artists whose summer events have been cancelled throughout the nation.  

Stems Plein Air Paint is now accepting submissions of plein air paintings created between May 11th and June 27th, 2020.  Submission deadline is June 27th, 2020. 

This national juried show is a unique opportunity for our nation’s Plein Air community to safely compete, win cash prizes, including a $2500 Best of Show, while promoting and selling works both online and
in a fine art gallery exhibition!  

This is for call content. But it’s not a call for just any kind of content. This is a call for specific content, from specific people. This is a call for content from the lonely, the misunderstood, the anxious, the hopeful, the misgendered, the marginalized, the radical-in-other’s-eyes-but-not-so-radical-in-your-own, the politicized, the relatively unscathed, the visionaries. 

This is a call for the unspoken memories, the thoughts that run rampant, the words that went unsaid, the spiral after spiral, the dirty, the clean, and the (absolutely) in between, the revolutionary, but then again, not so revolutionary after all. 

In the midst of crisis, we seek to inspire and bring beauty to the foreground.
