Roots: New Growth

September 2 - October 29, 2022

An artist's artistic, geographic, and cultural roots play significant roles in their artistic process and statement. New Growth hopes to follow years of turbulence with a focus on positive life changes, unexpected new opportunities, and the journey we all take as artists. The exhibit will highlight original fine art inspired by an artist's perspective of their "roots" and artistic journey. Interpretations of the theme may be broad and entries are not limited to representational works. This exhibit features awards.

They Reap, While We Sew

A Commune-Knit-y participation project where crafters and artists of all backgrounds are invited to participate in a mass Sew-in, from June 9-November elections, to help heal our democracy, by creating small works that can be exhibitredd on-line, in reality, published, etc. The idea is to reflect upon the Troicateuse, or French workers who knitted at the base of the guillotine while heads were chopped off in the regime change that was the French revolution. We will knit, crochet, embroider, applique, etc. as the January 6 Insuurectionist hearings are televised and broadcast. "They Reap, While We Sew" is a means to encourage participation in the democratic process, by voting in November. It celebrates free speech and civil exchanges through art. 

Figuratively Speaking

Enter your original or limited edition artwork where the main theme is the human body either externally or internally. Open to all mediums of art except performance. Read and learn the gallery guidelines on the call site.
