Spirituality - Call for Artists

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

This controversial state of being can mean many different things to people all over the world. A few interpretations of the feelings associated with spirituality are an unmatched state of peace and comfort, a strong bond to mother earth and even a reason for war. For many, it means believing in a higher power. Others claim spirituality as an intense emotional feeling or connection. Do you have a deep philosophy or epiphany that you have now or have experienced? Is it science or faith? For this call we want to know what spirituality means to you. Create what this feeling looks like. Is it the key to your freedom? Or is it the bars on your prison? -Joni Mitchell. Calls are open to all local, domestic, national and international professional and amateur artists, from photography, wall sculpture, fabric, mixed media, all paintings and drawings including, oil, acrylic, pastels, ink, graphite, etc. Sizes up to 12 feet are acceptable. Work must be able to be hung on a wall to be considered for the live exhibition. Freestanding 3D artworks will be displayed online only. We are now accepting video and poetry entries for both live and online shows. Accepted entries for this online exhibition will be judged again in the coming months for a collective live exhibition at our Pasadena Gallery in Spring 2014. The artists will be asked if they wish to submit their artwork for the collective exhibition, which is not a requirement to being a part of the online exhibition.

For this call we are looking for you to interpret what forsaken nature means to you. It could be the opposite of thriving; the decaying state of our natural surroundings. It could be a desolate landscape, an area plagued by the inability to change or perhaps a once thriving area reclaimed by nature. What does nature’s beauty look like after it has peaked? Interpret this versatile theme and submit your best! Adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature’s inexorable imperative. -H.G Wells. Southern California Art Galleries.

Lloyd Herman will continue to judge the Re-purposed Materials in Art & Design category. For full details on jurors please visit the Jurors Page on Eco Arts Awards.As this is a themed competition a word about the theme might come in handy. From the perspective of the founder of Eco Arts Awards, the meaning of ecology wants to be enlarged in the twenty first century to have more focus on how human beings, as stewards of the planet, are behaving toward one another as well as toward our environment, as both are interrelated. You might call it a more integral approach to the theme, so this truly opens the meaning and the theme to be very inclusive of many topics.
