EXHIBITION: PENETRATE CALLING FOR ARTISTS!!!
This is a group exhibition.
EXHIBITION THEME
In today's ever-connected world, polarization has become a concerning issue, stifling the diversity of thought and hindering the free exchange of ideas. People are getting more and more drawn to echo chambers where they reinforce their own beliefs and shut out alternative viewpoints. Ideas are pushed to extreme ends, passing through the fact that it should be focused on, and leaving no room for nuanced and open-minded discussions. What is the appropriate way to express a controversial opinion? Where is the borderline to express any opinion without censorship or restraintment?
One of the prevailing characteristics of this generation is that people tend to be highly sensitive to ideological and moral values. They also feel a growing pressure to conform to the prevailing public opinions. This creates an atmosphere where individuals feel compelled to align themselves with a particular ideology, even if it doesn’t fully reflect their own personal convictions and people start to give up their genuine thoughts and beliefs.

Call For Entry: The Narrative
International Submission Deadline: May 15th, 2023 11:59 PM PST
Narrative art is a powerful means to explore and express aspects of the human condition. A narrative can tell stories about a wide range of subjects, recount tales from religion, myth, legend, history, and literature, or examine existential questions, such as the meaning of life, death, and the nature of reality. A well-crafted narrative can transport us to another time and place, entertain, educate, and inspire or help us to view the world in a new way, reminding us of our shared humanity and the beauty of the world around us. Tell us, what's your story?
The Narrative is an international juried group exhibition open to artists ages 18 and older. All forms of two-dimensional, traditional, and non-conventional art media (e.g., digital and film photography, oil, watercolor, acrylic, mixed media, collage, drawing media such as graphite, charcoal, pencils, pen and ink, arts and crafts, etc.) are welcome for submission.

AVA Community Art Center in Gillette, WY invites artists to submit three (3) artworks for consideration in the Harvest Exhibition. The deadline to submit to this exhibit is June 23rd, 2023 by 11:59pm.
The theme of Harvest is a broad one. Many crops are planted and tended before harvest while other delights are found in the wild. Apples and asparagus are harvested and so are tea, truffles and trees. And… cabbages, coconuts, cranberries, cocoa, and coffee.
When you picture these plants and fruits, do you also see the love and labor of people? Do you see cooking and artful display of food? Family dinner? A baby enjoying the textures of playing with their food? The theme of Harvest is broad and subject to your interpretation.

For centuries, artists have put their vision and skill to work for the betterment of society in an effort to effect change and expand our understanding of complex issues. Information based solely on data can often leave people feeling overwhelmed, disempowered, disconnected, and sometimes hopeless in the face of daunting odds. Art has the incredible power to compel thought, elicit feelings, and inspire discourse, which in turn, can motivate engagement and galvanize action; why we make, what we make, and how we make work matters and makes a difference in the world.
For this national juried exhibition, we are looking for works that foster awareness and caring for the environment, advocate for climate action, seek climate justice, or inspire sustainability. As the earth continues to warm, the hazards we face increase; weather extremes, food and water insecurities, pandemics, even allergy season is lengthened and intensified. Collective action is needed. How can art make a difference with such a monumental undertaking? Art doesn’t show people what to do but it can make one feel and inspire one to think more deeply. These thoughts and feelings can motivate people to become more engaged and take action. Every action, no matter how small, has a cumulative effect when many people engage.
Submissions are not limited to work that deals only topically with climate change but work created in studio practices that work in harmony with the environment will also be considered. Please submit up to three pieces completed within the past five years and a short statement about the work and/or process for consideration. All media considered, including book arts, ceramics, drawing, fiber, glass, metal, painting, photography, printmaking, wood, mixed media, video, and installations. If a piece contains an electronic component, the artist must indicate if they can provide the necessary technological equipment for installation. Accepted work must be available to be on display for the duration of the exhibition. Artist must be at least 18 years of age.

THEME
Beauty in the ordinary, in the stillness. Art is about capturing those moments that are gone again in a flash, moments that we find when we slow down. A fresh bouquet of flowers, a breathtaking sunset, a sense of joy witnessed. It's about embracing the little things, the simple pleasures that often go unnoticed in the hustle and bustle of our busy lives. So, pause, take a breath, and soak in the stillness. Let yourself be captivated by the ordinary, for it is in those moments that you will find true beauty. Show us STILL from your perspective.

'The New Renaissance' rings out as a clarion call to artists everywhere, across all mediums, styles, and visions. We warmly invite you to join us in this multifaceted exploration of contemporary creativity. This forthcoming exhibition is more than a showcase of art; it's a rendezvous point, a resurgence of the limitless spirit of discovery and expression that epitomized the Renaissance, yet reimagined for the vivid complexities of our modern world.
We encourage traditional painters, digital artists, photographers, sculptors, visionaries, and revolutionaries to respond to this call. If you've dared to perceive the world from a fresh angle, to challenge the status quo, and to weave together disparate ideas, we eagerly anticipate your contribution. This exhibition serves as your platform, an opportunity to engage in an ever-evolving dialogue that spans past and future, the known and the uncharted.
With this exhibition, our objective is to experience 'The New Renaissance' through your distinctive lens as artists. Your work forms the prism through which we strive to understand and appreciate this dynamic, collective revival. It is you, the artists, whom we invite to breathe life into 'The New Renaissance.'
