Call for Artists: RED! Vibrance, Passion & Beauty Feb. 2-24, 2019
CALL FOR ENTRIES The Art Guild invites all artists, 18 years and older (high school students ages 14-18 years may enter in the student category), to submit artworks for consideration for “RED! Vibrance, Passion & Beauty,” a Juried Competition and Exhibition. A color of nuances and contradictions, RED, in all its hues, always stands out and makes us take notice. Pink carnations, a red barn, the red velvet box of Valentine’s chocolates, a red hot flame, the scarlet of an autumn leaf, or a red pair of shoes all evoke a spectrum of emotions and ideas. Show us your passion for the vibrant beauty of RED in “Heart Month”!
CRITERIA All styles from abstract to realism are welcome. All works must be original, and have been created in the last five years. The selection committee’s decision is final. Works to be included in this exhibition must be available from January 27 – February 24, 2019. DEADLINE: FRIDAY, January 11.
MEDIUMS Including but not limited to acrylic, oil, watercolor, pastel, mixed media, collage, encaustic, etching/prints, or sculpture with pedestal. (NO COPIES, PHOTOGRAPHY, DIGITAL MANIPULATIONS, REPRODUCTIONS OR GICLEES.)
JUROR Patti Mollica believes that truly great painting is not about the “subject matter,” but rather the way an artist communicates beauty, sensitivity and integrity in whatever is painted. Flowers, gardens and sunsets are no more worthy as painting subjects than a subway station full of weary commuters, or a closeup of an old rundown building with cascading fire escapes. Patti is has authored several books, Modern Acrylics, Color Theory and Getting Started in Acrylics, available in art stores worldwide and online at Amazon.com. For more about Patti, please visit her website: mollicastudio.com
