Blah Blah Gallery announces a call for artworks for their 4th Annual Juried Exhibition, open to emerging and mid-career artists working in any medium. This group exhibition will be curated by Blah Blah Gallery Director Megan Galardi and will open in late January 2027.

Passages aims to explore the experience of moving through spaces and states of all kinds, whether through intimate personal narratives, structural environments, or metaphorical journeys. For this open call, they invite artists to interpret the theme both broadly and personally: to explore physical journeys and manifestations, emotional shifts, the passage of time, or transitions, including those reflected in materials or media, or the creative process itself.

The Craft Emergency Relief Fund (CERF+) emergency relief grant focuses on artists working in craft or materials-based folk/traditional disciplines that are 18 years or older and have resided and worked in the U.S. or U.S. territories for the past 2 years. These artists must have experienced a recent, unforeseen, career threatening emergency. Emergency Relief is available year-round.
The Get Ready Grant program provides individual craft artists grants up to $500 to conduct activities that will help safeguard their studios, protect their careers and prepare for emergencies. Artists are encouraged to use the Risk Assessment activity to generate ideas. Priority will be given to applications from people who identify in the global majority or as Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC)* and folk and traditional artists. Get Ready Grants are available multiple times a year. Check the website for deadlines.

The Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Emergency Grant program is intended to provide interim financial assistance to qualified painters, printmakers, and sculptors whose needs are the result of an unforeseen, catastrophic incident, and who lack the resources to meet that situation. Each grant is given as one-time assistance for a specific emergency, examples of which are fire, flood, or emergency medical need.

The Mentorship Residency Program at Indigo Arts Alliance in Portland, Maine, brings together artists from diverse backgrounds of the African Diaspora to engage in their creative processes while building lasting relationships rooted in co-mentorship. The program pairs a National or International artist with a Local/Regional artist to foster rich conversations, collaborations, and exchanges of experiences, knowledge, and technical skills. Artists are encouraged to work independently but are expected to dedicate 8–10 hours weekly to joint activities, including community engagement and collaborative projects. The residency provides 24-hour access to a flexible 3,000-square-foot community studio equipped for various disciplines. Visiting Artists are provided with private housing within walking distance of the studio.

Interlace Emergency Grants are intended to respond to various emergency needs. These grants are modest but intended to mitigate the harmful effects of emergency situations and crises, such as eviction, utility shut-off, healthcare expenses, phone or internet service interruption, and more. Interlace Emergency Grants are open to all self-identifying Providence area visual artists. Funds are dispersed monthly. Awards range from $50-$500 monthly, with a total pool of $1250 awarded monthly. If there are less than $1250 worth of qualified requests during a given month, funds roll over to the next month. Interlace awards Emergency Grants on a monthly basis: Applications are due on the 7th of each month

Each year, Lacawac welcomes a select group of professional and emerging artists for week-long residencies. During their stay, artists are encouraged to explore, reflect, and create, drawing inspiration from the Sanctuary’s remarkable natural beauty. Housing and studio space are provided to support a focused and meaningful creative experience. There are no hard deadlines for the submission of registration. However it is strongly recommended that registrations be submitted two weeks prior to the retreat start date.

The Mountain Maryland Plein Air juried competition and exhibition will be presented and managed by the Allegany Arts Council. The event, now in its 14th year, will feature the refreshed downtown with paintings installed at the beautiful Allegany Museum. Located in the Appalachian Mountains, the area is resplendent with magnificent vistas, pristine state forests and historic architecture. Up to thirty artists will be invited to participate for awards totaling almost $14,000.

Artspiration Frederick invites artists who identify as Black or of African descent to submit original works for a juried exhibition celebrating the creativity, perspectives, experiences, history, culture, and artistic excellence of Black artists. All media are welcome. Work does not have to address Black history or identity specifically. The exhibition is designed to celebrate the individuality of Black artists while collectively recognizing the profound influence of Black creativity on our communities and culture. By bringing together artists working across mediums, generations, experiences, and perspectives, Shades of Black will honor the histories that have shaped Black artistic expression while creating space for artists who are defining what comes next.
