Susquehanna Art Museum’s 9th annual juried exhibition invites artists to submit works that explore subjects relating to the domestic. In a time when social, political, and familial norms are being revealed and renegotiated on an international scale, the term ‘domestic’ relates to a wide range of topics.
Submitted works may include but are not limited to the following subject matter: the architecture or design of homes, neighborhoods, and cities; domestic labor; gender and social roles; domestic and foreign policies; domesticity; boundaries and borders; indigeneity; political and interpersonal relations; and domestication.
Selected artworks will lean into the complexity of what is considered domestic and offer a nuanced interpretation of the concept. Work in all media is welcome for consideration, and selections will be made based on the applicability to the theme as well as the group of pieces that work best as a whole. Submissions are limited to works with a maximum dimension of 72”.

THEME
Minimalism is all about keeping things simple on purpose. The art is stripped of anything extra and presented in a straightforward manner...no frills or fancy add-ons here. Instead, it's all about a bare-bones vibe focusing on the basics. Minimalism enables artists to capture the beauty of simplicity, making a big impact with just a little. Show us minimal from your perspective.
