The Color of Light

Contests, Juried Art Shows - Photography Photo Gallery

"Three themes interest me most in photography: light, color and moments. "Light produces color. Light can be soft or intense; color can provoke or excite. It can also inform. At their best, light and color can come together at a moment in time to create an atmosphere, an emotional response and/or a sense of place. And for me, that is the power and joy of the color of light." — Arthur Meyerson. For this call for submissions, we seek images that demonstrate the power and joy of the color of light. All capture methods and processes are welcome. We are honored indeed that Arthur Meyerson will be the juror for The Color of Light. He will select 35 images for exhibition in our Middlebury, Vermont gallery and another 40 for our Online Gallery. All 75 images will be reproduced in the exhibition catalog. Cash awards will be offered: Juror's Award: $300; Director's Award: $200; Up to three Honorable Mentions will be given. Open to all photographers. To encourage international participation, we offer printing of accepted work, as well as free matting and framing for the duration of the exhibit.

Seeing RED

Calls for Submissions - Acrylic, Ceramics, Digital Media, Fiber, Graphic Design, Drawing/Illustration, Mixed media, Metalsmithing, Sculpture, Oil, Pastel, Photography, Watercolor, Video/Film Art Gallery

A non-juried, open-walls Exhibition at ARC Gallery, Chicago. Feb. 1 - 25, 2017. "Seeing RED" will be an Open Walls Exhibition, giving artists the opportunity to exhibit their work at ARC without a juror. The colour red has many associations - heat, heated emotions and violence, love, the political right, communism, a sign of warning (as in traffic lights etc), ripeness (in fruit etc), and, of course, blood. ARC is asking artists to reflect on what "Seeing RED" might look like, what it might reference metaphorically, emotionally, politically, or literally. We're seeking work that challenges the status quo or obvious, while asking the artists to have fun playing with this very broad title. All mediums and materials are eligible if they conform to the size limitations. The art-work must be no more than 18 inches wide, (including a possible frame).

A juried international photography exhibition,March 9 – April 4, 2017. Roland Barthes in his Camera Lucida famously introduced the concept punctum in opposition with studium. Studium refers to the manifest content of the photograph that is responsible for creating interest in the image, and we may be interested in the subject of photographs for all sorts of reasons. However, it is only images with punctum that capture our attention for the sake of their formal photographic qualities, regardless of their depicted content. It is a detail of the image that sharply captures our attention, attracts us to the photograph and makes it stand out of the thousands of other photographs we encounter. It is a formalist condition, and discovering the presence of punctum in an image depends on the searching eye of the spectator. Thus punctum is regarded as a highly subjective notion by many, while others may argue that there could be objective ways of demonstrating the presence of punctum in some works. It is likely among the most challenging tasks for a photographer to create images with punctum but this is precisely what we are looking for in this exhibition. PH21 Gallery invites photographers to submit their work for a group exhibition themed Punctum. We are looking for submissions from all photographers who are interested in this topic and would like to share their work with a wider international audience through the exposure of PH21 Gallery. The topic is broadly construed, as the presence of punctum is independent of generic or stylistic constraints.

Call to Artists: WIDE OPEN 8

Calls for Submissions - Acrylic, Digital Media, Glass, Mosaic, Drawing/Illustration, Mixed media, Sculpture, Oil, Pastel, Photography, Watercolor Art Organization

We are excited to announce our eighth annual national juried art show, Wide Open 8, opening May 13, 2017. Our juror is another of NY's art elite, the Museum of Modern Art's Cara Manes, Curatorial Assistant in the Department of Painting and Sculpture. $3000 in cash prizes will be awarded including $1000 Best in Show Gold. The exhibit runs May 13 - June 18. Ours is a truly unique gallery – a massive Civil War-era warehouse on the Red Hook waterfront in Brooklyn, NY. Its enormous space affords us the opportunity to exhibit really huge work, and we welcome it. We will be using 8,000 square feet for this show, and look forward to exhibiting artist's work from all around the country, work in all sizes, and subjects, and media, (it's completely wide open). The broad theme of "Wide Open 8" encompasses all the possibilities of knowledge and freedom and love - wide open spaces…arms wide open…eyes wide open - but as with all things, there is the inevitable opposite - wide open to attack…corruption…failure. What kind of fantasy is this? What does it really indicate? This juried show looks to explore the idea of "wide open" in all the hidden niches of our collective psyche.This call for submissions is open to all residents of the U.S. and its Territories 18 years of age or older. This is a juried exhibition for artists working in all traditional and non-traditional 2-D and 3-D media, including film/video when part of an installation. All artwork must be original in concept, design and execution. All work should be non-utilitarian in nature. This is a fine art exhibition. Early Bird discount through February 19, 2017.
