April 2016 Newsletter
This Month's Notable Calls...

Happy April from TheArtList.com!

"It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process." Max Eastman

It appears that the exact meaning for the word "April" is unknown, but most etymologists believe that it means "opening." A word certainly appropriate for those of us in the northern hemisphere where spring has settled in with all of its blooming. Do you find this time of year inspirational for your art? If you are, we seem to have had a lot of art fairs and festivals come across our desks lately.

Second Place Winner

Congratulations to TheArtList.com's Second Place Winner -  Cheryl M. Gross. Cheryl says "When asked about my work, I always equate it with creating an environment transforming my inner thoughts into reality. Much like an architect, or urban planner, that reality and humor becomes the foundation of the work. Beginning with the physical process, I work in layers. I am involved in solving visual and verbal complexities such as design and narrative. The result: mini documentaries that are based on the absurdities of life." 







 
Viewer's Choice Award Winner 

Lisa Adams Reed is April's Viewer's Choice Award winner.  Lisa says "I have secretly seen myself as an artist since I was a small child. I always knew my creativity would dominate my life and in this final third I am all in! I was blessed by a stroke that left me blind in one eye a few years ago. Funny how it made me see things differently and have an even greater desire to paint the world from this unique perspective."

Light & Shadow Photography Exhibition

Calls for Submissions - Photography Photo Gallery

The beauty of light never fails to inspire. It comes in many colors and styles, from the soft monochrome palette of the pre-dawn to the raging intensity of Times Square at midnight. Light can dazzle, light can seduce; light can be so intoxicating many spend hours attempting to capture its essence inside a tiny light-tight box otherwise known as a "camera". Whether the photographer chooses color or black and white, the expression and compression of the wonder of light from our daily world onto a 2d piece of paper in a compelling way remains both the Nirvana and the great white whale of all photographers past, present and future. Studious professional photo-geek Ansel Adams identified 10 distinct "zones" of light from pitch black to pure light in an attempt to tame the photo beast; in his wake countless lives have been dedicated to the artistic pursuit of these 10 expressions of luminosity. This month at 1650 the power of light compels you as we celebrate the core and essence of photography itself! Join with us as we go out of the darkness and into the light the with a timeless exploration of the world of LIGHT & SHADOW!

Urban Riche Gallery- Figurative Competition/Exhibition

Online Event - Contests, Juried Art Shows - Acrylic, Digital Media, Graphic Design, Drawing/Illustration, Mixed media, Sculpture, Oil, Pastel, Photography, Watercolor Online Gallery

Lucien Freud believed "If you are painting humans you've got the best subject matter in the world, and you can really do as much with them as they could do themselves. When I'm not painting them –- which is rare – I feel I'm being pretty frivolous." From the earliest cave paintings dating back some 40,000 years, the figure has always been at the center of the art world. Maybe it is a sense of the relatable, a manifestation of the conscious self-awareness as we proceeded from pre-history to a mindset of self-reflection for the forms in which we inhabit. Using the figurative form, some artists explore a gateway to the human psyche, revealing emotion and energy while others may concede to leaving the intention a mystery. And as Freud believed, there are as many figurative forms as there are people willing to explore it. Urban Riche Gallery is asking those bold enough to explore the figure, in any form, to show us what the figure is capable of. We are putting out an international call for artists who produce the best figurative images in the world. The subject matter and medium of the work is left to the artist. We are accepting art of ALL MEDIUMS for a juried online exhibition running from May 1st-31st, Urban Riche Gallery's Figurative exhibition will feature the very best emerging and mid-career artists from around the world. Open to all artists 18+ except where prohibited by law.

PH21 Gallery: Call for Entries - Intimacy

Calls for Submissions - Photography Photo Gallery

A juried international photography exhibition. June 2–28, 2016. Intimacy is an elusive concept. While it is most commonly understood in terms of what can be described as a close and affectionate relationship or interaction between two people, the notion of intimacy goes beyond the interpersonal. People may form intimate relationships with or attachment to objects, places or other non-human beings as well. Past human presence or experience may also transform an ordinary object or a place into something special and intimate; we can recognise traces of intimacy even in the absence of human beings. A photographer's understanding of what intimacy is can take on different meanings and can be expressed in a number of different ways. For the purposes of this call, both the what and the how are of equal importance and interest. PH21 Gallery invites photographers to submit their work for a group exhibition themed Intimacy. We are looking for submissions from all photographers who are interested in this subject and would like to share their work with a wider international audience through the exposure of PH21 Gallery. We welcome submissions from all photographic genres, and we are interested in all possible creative photographic interpretations of the theme.

(Re) Invention: Art + Innovation + Disability + Design is a juried exhibition of emerging young artists with disabilities, ages 16-25, that aims to showcase artwork created at the intersection of technology, innovation, and disability. We're asking: "How have technology and innovation shaped your life in terms of your art and your disability? How has our global move toward technology inspired a re-discovery of traditional or analog arts, or a new take on existing artistic practices?" Through your art, we want to see how you interpret these thematic ideas.
