Call For Artists

This is a heads-up to North and South Carolina artists. We have two fun (and insightful) shows coming up. Selfie (Jan 6 – Feb. 3, 2024) is a juried 2D art exhibition that explores the psychology of selfies. We are seeking a range of first person photos, paintings, drawings, and mixed media. Entry deadline for Selfie is Dec. 24.

We are also seeking submissions to Girl Power! (Feb. 10 – Mar. 6, 2024), a juried 2D and 3D show that explores the multifaceted dimensions of what it means to identify as a woman today. Open to all genders. Entry deadline for Girl Power! is Jan. 31, 2024. Details – including application information – are posted below. We can’t wait to hear from you! Details and application links for both are posted below.

    Hello,
    I think it is wonderful that you are doing an art call to SC & NC artists. I am an artist new to the Carolinas and will be traveling during your submittance date and wondered if it is possible to do an online application for the selfie show.
    Thank you for your time,
    Susan
