3rd Annual New Appalachia Exhibition w/ Guest Curator

It's that time of the year again!  The 3rd Annual New Appalachia Exhibition seeks to capture the modern, contemporary, and innovative artistic experiences surrounding the Appalachia region and beyond.  This year, the show will be curated by Jeffrey Smith, a benefactor of the arts in the Pittsburgh region for over 20 years, and owner of Jeffrey Smith Salon!

Your Wildest Dreams

Exploring the frontiers of reality, fantasy, and perception, Your Wildest Dreams seeks to showcase the surreal, the bizarrely-imaginative, and the vibrant worlds in which the artist resides (or creates...)  Spatial, visionary, trippy, limitless, and free, take a ride down the rabbit hole into the depths of the subconscious- brought to life in this brand new Spring showcase from Vestige Concept Gallery!   

We accept works from emerging, mid-career, and/or professional artists.  

"Your Wildest Dreams" In-Person opening reception party will be held Saturday, March 25th, 2023 at 6 PM. 
 

About the Gallery:

Down On Paper

More than any other object in history, an empty sheet of paper has taken people to places of endless imagination, design, and creativity. Paper has played a major role in the development of our world, the rise of civilizations, and in the lives of the people that have impacted it.  In art, music, writing, and cultural communication through visual, literal, or transitive means, paper has been the common thread of all of them.  In art, ideas that begin on paper often serve as the visionary basis for larger projects.  Vestige Concept Gallery seeks to pay homage to the "great and simple paper" by hosting an exhibit comprised entirely of works on paper, or made of paper.

Guidelines:

After Hours

Midnight ravers, all-nighters, night owls, nighthawks, "last call"...or is this just the beginning?  Vestige Concept Gallery wants to know what happens long after the sun goes down.   After Hours seeks to showcase works of art that feature nightlife and/or, life, at night.  Works could be about bars and nightclubs, speakeasys, smoky lounges, filled with music: jazz, blues, soul, rock, hip-hop... to late night diners, the El-train, taxis, drag, drag racing, street life, gangsters, graffiti, hookups, drinking, sex, nudes, partying, and drugs.  Have a nightcap and catch the red-eye.  (But remember, keep it classy!)  

We accept works from emerging, mid-career, and/or professional artists. Work should somehow relate to the theme of the show.

A Very Vestige Christmas

It’s that time of year!  The holidays are coming and Vestige Concept Gallery loves to celebrate with style, beauty, and ART.  Starting Mid-November, this Mixed Exhibition is open to all artists and any genre, and has a contemporary theme.  ‘A Very Vestige Christmas’ aims to showcase the latest pieces from emerging and mid-career artists in 2022  that are thematically lively, bold, ‘pop’, metallic, abstracts, slick, stylized, and fit for modern décor.  The show is also open to 3D and sculptural items.   Lots of events and excitement will round out the year with fun and joyous celebration! 

Primal Disposition II: Dual Dilemma

Heaven/Hell, Yin/Yang, masculine/feminine, positive/negative, light/dark, split identities, God/Devil, fire/ice, earth/water, love/hate, young/old, and following the ancient axiom: "As Above So Shall It Be Below," Primal Disposition II: Dual Dilemma seeks to showcase works of art that deal with the concept of Duality that are are raw, dark, religious, emotive, primitive, earthen, sexual, sensory, confrontational, instinctual.  We are also looking for work that is primal in the materials used: foundational, basic, primary, elemental, and/or not of this world...

We accept works from emerging, mid-career, and/or professional artists. Work should somehow relate to the theme of the show.
