EVERYTHING BLUE

Blue  --  a color that has been regarded with reverence since ancient times.

A multitude of unique shades of Blue exist including cyan, navy, aqua, azure, cobalt and indigo. For centuries, Blue has been recognized for positive and negative symbolic and psychological values. Blue represents freedom, intuition, and imagination. Blue also reveals meanings of trust, admiration, loyalty and faith. On the other hand, Blue is often associated with coldness, loneliness and sadness.  

As an artist, how do you utilize Blue? Does Blue permeate the entire image? Or is Blue used in a small section of artwork -- in clothing, decor or other objects? Or in elements of Nature? Or is Blue an abstract structural design? No restrictions exist on subject matter or style. Let's see your special visions of Everything Blue.

STRATA

Strata refers to layers. The layers can be inferred as literal (in the material usage or striated apperance) or symbolic (as in layers of meaning and complexity). How is layering expressed through your work? Does your work reflect the layered aspects of our pandemic impacted world? Does your work represent the complexity of current world traumas & socioeconomic striations? Or perhaps layering is an aspect of your process to achieve expression & beauty? As with all Verum's calls for art, the curator never seeks to drive the work, the hope is to unveil unique visions. All mediums and modes of expression are welcome. The term Strata may be interpreted in many ways, not necessarily meant to be a literal elucidation. Verum Ultimum Gallery tasks artists to define “STRATA” for this first edition of this exhibition.

The Figure

The figure has been, from humankind’s earliest attempts at mark-making to the present day, a central occupation of art. The figure commands our attention because it is something most of us see every day, whether looking at ourselves or others, but is at the same time deeply strange, beautiful, and intriguing. Our figures are an index of time and mark our movement through space. As shown by its role in art history, the capturing of the figure admits an almost infinite variety of methods, styles and movements; it can be representational or abstract, suggested by a pencil-stroke or carved in stone.

Voice x Women Rise Residency

We’re building a residency program to change the ratio — dedicated to supporting women from underrepresented and marginalized communities.

Here’s what we know:

Top 18 museums in the US have collections that are 87% male & 85% white (Nmwa.org).
Art by women sells for 50% less than men’s (SSRN paper).
Women make up 16% of the NFT art market and 5% of NFT sales.

These are the current statistics and we're here to change it. As a Resident, you will transform a body of work that you’ve wanted to make–or have already made–into an NFT collection. The collections will cover themes that connect our creators to the world’s most pertinent topics. We are here to guide you through the process, all the way from onboarding through building and launching a powerful NFT project.

Sequential Synergy: The Art of Comics

440 Gallery announces a Call for Artists for the 2022 Annual Theme Show Sequential Synergy: The Art of Comics. Artwork selected for exhibition for the show will be on display at our Brooklyn gallery space July 9 – July 29, 2022. Artists at all levels of professionalism and experience are invited to submit work in all mediums.

Sequential Synergy: The Art of Comics celebrates the diverse ways comics artists, aka cartoonists, utilize the real estate of the blank page. For over a century, artists have been creating comics to tell stories about caped crusaders, historical figures, themselves or something else entirely. Sequential Synergy will explore the forms that comics can be and how they affect us; we will discover that cartoonists are not merely visual artists, but are writers, designers, directors, and most of all, acute observers of human behavior.

Acceptable submissions include, but are not limited to the following types of images: cover art, splash pages, full pages of sequential art. The submitted images may be excerpted from a larger work.

I Figure: Contemporary Figurative Art

Arts Benicia invites artwork entries of any medium that have the human figure as the main theme.

There is no other subject that commands more attention from artists than the human figure. It’s in our nature to examine our nature.

On Neutral Ground

"On Neutral Ground" seeks works of art that explore neutrality and the middle way. In a world of increasing polarization and conflict, those who do not choose sides are left to wonder where to stand.  "Neutral Ground" seeks to create a zone of peace by displaying works of art that are free from heavy sensory output including themes and messages, whether intentional or not. Works could show a softness, harmony, balance, and sense of meditation. In doing so, works ideally should incorporate neutral tones, such as white, greys, soft blacks, and beige.  Works may also include "natural" media, in terms of the materials used and can be of a political nature, so as long as they are free from overt messaging and convey the ideals of neutrality.

EXHIBITION OPEN CALL | FLUID TIME

Armen Avanessian, an Austrian philosopher, says that “The basic thesis of the post-contemporary is that time is changing. We are not just living in a new time or accelerated time, but time itself—the direction of time—has changed. We no longer have a linear time, in the sense of the past being followed by the present and then the future. It’s rather the other way around: the future happens before the present, time arrives from the future.”
In this new era, time is fluid, and there is no obvious progression from a before, to a during and an after in historical terms. The fluidity of time indicates the blurring of boundaries, escaping categorizations, and not being concretely defined. In such a time how does an artist imagine the future? How to view histories? How to create unexpected narratives and connections to tell untold stories? How to even use time as an artistic medium to interpret the life we experience?

In December 2022, the Big Gay Art Show will return to the Sedona Arts Center exhibition schedule. The Big Gay Art Show is a juried art show that exhibits and sells artwork in support of the LGBTQ+ community and allies. In the past, Sedona Arts Center hosted and promoted this event.  We are now running and hosting the event at the request of Sedona Pride.  The show will run from December 7-23, 2022.

The Big Gay Art Show is a much anticipated, well attended exhibition open to all artists in any medium and of any level. In 2012, the Big Gay Art Show was conceptualized by a small group – some connected to SAC and others in the Sedona Pride organization. The event began as an effort to offer the LGBTQ+ community a voice in the local art scene. Since that first show, SAC has welcomed hundreds of emerging and professional artists to Sedona to share their work throughout the history of the event.  We are excited to offer this event through the Arts Center in 2022.
