“Learning to take risks is an essential aspect of being creative with color.” ~Brian Keeler
Happy Independence Day to all of you in the U.S. We hope that you had a fantastic celebration complete with lively and vibrant fireworks, music, great food, and maybe some art making as well!
June was a stellar month with tons of great entries to TheArtList's June Artist of the Month contest! It is always a hard selection with so many talented artists and photographers. Please take a minute to check out our winners below.
Do you follow us on any of our social media pages? We post new calls several times a week - and occasionally some of them have a very short submission window. If you aren't following us on Facebook, Twitter, or Pinterest, you might be missing some calls!
Wishing you a creative July!
GRAND PRIZE WINNER:
Erin Hanson is the July Artist of the Month with her painting: Radiant Light. She wins a $75 gift certificate to Jerry's Artarama. Erin Hanson is the creator of the contemporary painting style known as “open-impressionism," which is now taught in art schools and colleges across the world. Her impressionist paintings involve minimal brushstrokes and impasto application of paint. Using a limited palette of pure,
un-muddied color, she deftly captures light and motion with spontaneity, bringing to her canvases the natural beauty of the outdoors. See more of her work and read about her process at: https://www.theartlist.com/aom_07_19.html
SECOND PLACE WINNER:
Linda Steele is our second place winner and wins $50 to Jerry's Artarama. Linda is a contemporary painter and sculptor, born, raised and still lives in the small northeast Ohio community of Leetonia. Her artistic abilities were very evident at an early age, coloring and shading within the lines at age 2, drawing paper dolls on school notepaper on the bus ride home from school. Upon graduation from high school
she graduated from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh in Commercial Art, married her high school sweetheart and they raised three children. She is a proud grandmother of six and great grandmother of 2. Visit Linda's website to see more of her work.
THIRD PLACE WINNER:
Art Sekula is our Third Place Winner. He won $25 to Jerry's Artarama. Art's artist statement says: My love for landscapes has inspired me to create beautiful, naturalistic paintings about nature and humanity. My approach to painting is to present a representational style that emulates calm, solitude, and strength. I feel compelled to create artwork that can be actual or imaginary. My inspiration comes from my surroundings
and experiences from the past and present. Visit Art's website to see more of this work: at https://www.arthursekula.com.

Black Box Gallery is excited to announce a black and white juried group photo show. There is often a classic, nostalgic and dynamic translation to black and white photography. Black and white has an important tradition of luminous, well-crafted and thoughtfully composed imagery. Contemporary photographers are involved in this dialog of history and tradition, but with their own modern voice, visions and aesthetics of imagery.

DEADLINE JULY 29, 2019
PH21 Gallery - Call for Entries: Glitch
Calls for Submissions - Photography Photo Gallery
A juried international photography exhibition. August 29 – September 21, 2019. All mental and physical processes are subject to errors, and photographic creative and technical processes are no exception to this rule. Photographers may carefully plan their compositions, but even the most thoroughly constructed situations might surprise us with some unforeseeable element. Analogue and digital technical processes are also prone to errors that modify the image in unexpected ways. Some types of
glitches occur spontaneously, while others are intentionally prompted by using equipment or technology that randomly or systematically produces them. A glitch may occur in the theme, the production method or in the material of the image as well, and it could be present in the picture or in the viewer’s eye. In this call we understand glitches in a wide sense, ranging from the unexpected in the process of composing images to the technological errors that modify the final image in all sorts of
intended or unintended ways. PH21 Gallery invites photographers to submit their work for a group exhibition themed Glitch. We are looking for submissions from all photographers who are interested in this theme, and would like to share their work with a wider international audience through the exposure of PH21 Gallery. The theme is broadly construed, as glitches may occur at all points of the creative and technical processes of photography. Indeed, we are interested in all possible creative
photographic interpretations of the theme.
