National Exhibition of American Art

Submissions are now open for Pleiades Gallery first

National Exhibition of American Art.

The theme for this exhibition is “Altered States: A state of mind that deviates from what is thought to be a normal state of consciousness.”
Artists often reinterpret reality in their art, using their own visions to create new possibilities. We are interested in seeing artist’s interpretations and perceptions of unconventional ideas, dreamscapes and elaborate fantasy worlds.

The Jurors for this exhibition are members of Pleiades Gallery:

Denise Adler, Al Benkin and Joseph O’Neill

Pleiades Gallery was founded in 1974 by a group of like-minded artist who sought an alternative to the dic- tated constraints of the commercial gallery world. One of the oldest cooperative galleries in New York City, Pleiades was a leading participant in the Association of Artis Run Galleries and the cooperative movement
of the 1970’s. Located in Chelsea among the most prestigious galleries in New York, Pleiades exhibits highly professional contemporary work by its artist members. The judges for this show are all members of the gallery, their bios and more about their work can be found by going to our website
