🐚 Exhibitions & Calls for Art |
|
|
Metamorphic Realities is still open for entry! An exhibit open for all levels of artists, this show is NOT juried. We're looking for art that represents change in any way; maybe it's a piece that changed significantly as it developed or a piece that represents a pivotal moment in your life. This theme is open to all sorts of interpretations! We need at least 15-20 more pieces for this show. Deadline: June 12th |

NEW CALL for ART: Altered Perspectives Perspective is one of the most basic tenets of art. Used to create depth and dimension, perspective takes creativity on flat surfaces and brings the work to life. Imagine deep, misty woodlands with layers of trees. A cityscape, like New York City, with intersecting straight roads and building corners. For this upcoming exhibition at the Milton Rhodes Center for the Arts, we’re looking for your best pieces that illustrate depth, dimension, and perspective–even if "ALTERED" to make it more fun!
Deadline: July 3rd |

☆ JUNE ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: a Retrospective on Sean Kammerlohr ☆ |
|
|
A note from Artist Spotlight blog writer Camryn Collier: If you feel like you've seen this guys face before as a Spotlighted Artist, you would be right! While looking back on previous Spotlights, Sean's Q&A from last year caught my eye as a blog post that left more questions than answers. I was interested in learning more about his unique perspective as someone experiencing synesthesia, a meshing of the senses. And more than that, I was also curious to learn more about how he personifies trees through his extremely detailed work... |
