Tarot and Oracle: The Art of Divination

About this call

Perry Lawson Fine Art  (the "Gallery") invites artists to submit paintings, drawings, mixed media, collage, photographs, digital art, prints, and sculpture related to tarot and oracle to be considered for inclusion in our upcoming juried show, Tarot and Oracle: The Art of Divination. This exhibition celebrates these unique works as artworks in their own right, highlighting the artists' creativity, technical skill, and use of compelling imagery and symbolism. We encourage submissions that may appeal to both divination enthusiasts and the wider public.

Participating artists may also offer their corresponding tarot or oracle decks for consideration for sale during the exhibition.

Works will be selected based on technical skill, originality, and their ability to convey meaning through symbolism while functioning as compelling works of art.

The exhibition will be on view at Perry Lawson Fine Art, 90 North Broadway, Nyack, NY.

Juror: Dannielle Tegeder
Dannielle Tegeder is a New York-based Tarot practitioner, artist, and educator. She has been working with the Tarot in her own art practice in the context of her 25-year-long investigation into the unseen structures  that power our world. Dannielle believes that Tarot can help anyone, especially artists, access intuition, creativity, and collective knowledge, breaking away from logic and other limited ways of knowing. 

As an oracle, Dannielle uses Tarot in her own life and practice, interweaving legacies of hard-edge abstraction and women’s craft with spiritual wisdom. Dannielle is a Professor at Lehman College, CUNY, where she has taught since 2008.  She has lectured at Cornell University and SUNY Purchase in addition to visiting appointments at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Rhode Island School of Design, Pratt, Cooper Union, and Princeton University. She is a co-founder of the feminist art collective Hilma’s Ghost.
