Annual Juried Regional Show: Vice & Virtue

The Annual Juried Regional Show is Art Center Sarasota’s largest juried show of the year and encompasses all four of our galleries. This show is open to artists in the southeast region of the United States. This year’s show invites artists to explore opposing elements of our human condition. By definition, vice is a practice that is considered morally wrong in society whereas virtue is a trait of excellence. Vice & Virtue asks artists to define their perception of these “rights” and “wrongs” in our contemporary society. Cultural norms, religious beliefs and our political climate all play a role in the artist’s assertion of what is good or evil. Is there a gray area in between?

Trompe L'oeil

Trompe L’oeil invites artists to create work centered on ideas of illusion, perception and reality.  A French phrase meaning ‘deceives the eye’, Trompe L’oeil is a theme in art, generally used to describe work that creates a true-to-life depiction of a real object, scene or being. These artworks question reality and the aesthetics of realism.  Trompe l’oeil forces the viewer to question what we see every day and consider the boundary between the artist's world and our own.
