Deadline: Dec. 10, 2022 Exhibit Dates: Jan. 25 – Mar. 4, 2023 Beacon of Light The United States has often been described as a Beacon of Light. Are we? Lady Liberty bears a torch in her raised arm, symbolizing enlightenment and hope. However, our country has become increasingly darkened, with corrosive politics, deepening divisions among people, economic difficulties, public health crises, immigration restrictions, certain legal and policy decisions, and acts of violence, treason and war. This social commentary show encourages artists to create works that challenge viewers to consider our day, our options, and what the U.S. represents or could embody moving forward. Realism and optimism are welcome. Traditional and nontraditional mediums, and installations. Show Dates: March 15 – April 29, 2023 Deadline: February 4, 2023 One + One is More than Two This show is about multiple artworks by an artist that relate to each other as a group. There is a sameness and subtle difference among works. Some groupings are monochromatic works that convey visual interest with a limited palette. Other groupings use repetition of pattern, form, shape, color and comparative imagery. Additionally, there may be arrangements based on conceptual ideas of homogeneity. Traditional and nontraditional mediums, and installations. Show Dates: May 10 – June 24, 2023 Deadline: March 25, 2023 You’re Absolutely Spineless This show highlights the invertebrates, large and small, or perhaps frightening and beautiful. Invertebrates occupy more than 90% of the animal world and have a vital role in ecosystem health, though they are often overlooked in research. This show will include all kinds of invertebrates, including insects, worms, star fish, centipedes, sea urchins, earthworms, sponges, jellyfish, lobsters, crabs, spiders, snails, clams, squid and millipedes. Traditional and nontraditional mediums, and installations.
