Gallery Exhibitions:
We invite artists to submit their artwork for consideration for future shows. Please Note: Emailed submissions should be sent to: submissions.studioplacearts@gmail.com We are currently accepting submissions for the following SPA exhibits and opportunities: Shows & Opportunities: Shelter in Place A digital exhibition series presented by Studio Place Arts The Governor’s executive order in March marked a precipitous time of change and adjustment for artists, creatives and others. Artists were challenged on many personal levels by the public health crisis; some were moved to create artwork in response. Most artists experienced a cataclysmic alteration of the art world itself, as gallery exhibitions, art fairs, and museums were quickly cancelled and closed. Additionally, sources of materials and space that artists use in their art-making practices became potentially less available. This period of time nonetheless has offered a chance for new focus and different provocations. What have you been making? Would you be willing to share your work? Show Series Format: There are several scheduled digital exhibitions that will be shown via the Studio Place Arts website, Facebook page and Instagram. The exhibitions will be launched via Studio Place Arts, as follows: June 5, 2020 Show (Deadline for submission: May 18, 2020) June 19, 2020 Show (Deadline for submission: June 8, 2020) July 10, 2020 Show (Deadline for submission: June 22, 2020) Click here for more details about digital exhibition opportunities...
