Happy November from TheArtList!
"Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting
and autumn a mosaic of them all."
– Stanley Horowitz
Happy November, Artists and Art Lovers! Here in the states, we're smack-dab in the middle of Autumn and "Winter is Coming." You know what that means... Holidays! Family! Pumpkin spice! Fall colors! Mariah Carey Christmas songs! If those things don't inspire you to create some art, I don't know what will! Well, maybe not the pumpkin spice or Christmas music, but you never know.
We've got some great art calls for you to focus that creativity on, so keep reading! We also have some amazing art to share from our Artist of the Month winners. Check them out below and be sure to enter this month's contest!
If you are a gallery or organization that would like to take advantage of our current discounts to promote your upcoming art contest or event, visit https://www.theartlist.com/submit. As always, we thank you all -- artists and organizations -- for supporting TheArtList.

She grew up in Plaistow, New Hampshire, and has been inspired by the simple New England landscapes surrounding her throughout her life.

on canvas concentrate on places she encounters every day in her life or places she frequents, becoming almost autobiographical. See more of Debra's work on our Featured Artist of the Month page: https://www.theartlist.com/featured-artists/2021-debra-bretton-robinson

J. Mane Gallery - The Art of Aging - Online Juried Art Exhibition
J. Mane Gallery in conjunction with Homewatch CareGivers of New Haven and the Shoreline invites submissions for The Art Of Aging online juried art exhibition. The onset of aging can be so gradual that we are often surprised to find that one day it is fully upon us. The changes to the senses, appearance, reflexes, physical endurance, and sexual appetites are undeniable-and rarely welcome-and yet, getting older has its surprising blessings. Growing old is not a disease but an art. For those
who practice it well, it can bring extraordinary rewards; Faith and inner strength, the deepening of personal relationships, the realization that career does not define identity, the acceptance that some goals will remain unaccomplished-these are among the secrets of those who age well.

Vestige Concept Gallery - Like Clockwork
Like Clockwork seeks to showcase works of art that address the nature of time. From birth, our daily routines, anxieties on aging, death, rebirth, to creation and destruction, the forms of time give shape to human experience. Traditional thought, from China to ancient Greece, embodies time not only in gods and goddesses but also in the various devices which measure and grasp it. Time as a flux is apparent in the flow of grains in an hourglass; time as eternal return, in the circling aeons
of the Indian and Maya calendars or the tail-eating serpent Ouroboros; time as a universal pattern of synchronous events, in the I-Ching or the astrologers' intricate figure-work. The paradoxes inherent in these parallel ways of conceiving time reveal the mysterious Coincidence of Opposites which underlies the cosmos. It's as the old adage says.. all "like clockwork"... We are accepting works from emerging, mid-career, and/or professional artists. Work should somehow relate to the theme.

PH21 Gallery presents: Feminine / Masculine ‚ A Curated International Photography Exhibition
Portrayals of femininity and masculinity are, without doubt, central to a number of art forms, photography not being an exception. The past few decades have given rise to ‚often heated ‚discussions and criticisms of past, recent, and current photographic practices for their lack of reflection on the assumptions, stereotypes, and prejudices surrounding photographic approaches to femininity and masculinity. Fine art and commercial works alike have been critiqued for the potential
consequences of their approach and presentation. Historically femininity and masculinity have been conceived, among others, as oppositions, as complements of each other, or as positions on a continuum. There are hardly any ways of portraying femininity and masculinity that would or could not be considered trivial, conservative, pretentious, demeaning, distasteful, clichéd or even offensive by some. ... Please read the full call on our website. See prospectus link below.
