The Santa Fe Photographic Workshops seeks: The portrait. Environmental, studio, candid, or posed. Self or pet, color, black-and-white, alternative process or digital. No matter what the genre, there’s a power in a well-captured portrait, a sense of breath and life. A portrait can comfort us, unnerve us, cause us to smile, or move us to tears. Whatever the emotional response, portraits possess the capacity to connect us all through shared encounters. 

Our PORTRAITS contest is an opportunity to pause and review your photography, then join our international community of photographers and share your portraits with our distinguished judges. The winning images will be featured on The Workshops online gallery, and there are monetary prizes as well.

Photographers of any level who are at least 18 years of age are invited to enter any photographic imagery that can be defined as a portrait. Photos must be submitted electronically through our entry website (here). More about the contest can be found here.

Fees: $40 for 3 images. $10 for each additional image.

Deadline: May 31, 2017

MANIFEST

SEASON 14 - 2017/2018 SUBMISSION PROCESS NOW OPEN

Deadline for Proposals: June 1 for each upcoming season. Seasons begin late September. Selections are made and season planned by end of July. After reviewing the full prospectus below, find the required application form here. Eligibility: Anyone can submit a proposal. Artists should bear in mind the need for a consistent and very strong body of work when submitting.

Media/Genre, etc: Open to all traditional and non-traditional genre and media. Manifest sets out to survey, locate, exhibit, and document excellent quality amongst all types of art. Our record of showing a broad mix speaks for itself. Cash Award Potential: A new annual Manifest Grand Jury Prize will result in the awarding of one significant cash prize ($2500) to a single work selected as the 'best of the entire season'. Winner will be determined by a final end-of-year jury from among a pool of all top-scoring works from each exhibit's jury process across the current exhibition season.

Jury and Curator: Manifest's main selection process involves a complex two-part system. Most exhibits are juried by an anonymous 9-12 member panel of professional and academic advisors with a broad range of expertise. The jury then passes along their recommendations to the exhibit curator who will make the final selections from the jury-approved pool. Solo proposals are handled in a similar way. While artists may provide a specific goal for an exhibit, the final selection and layout of works will be determined by a Manifest curator in consultation with the artist.

Linus Galleries is a contemporary art gallery based in Southern California.

There are so many delicious things in abstract art that don’t necessarily cross over into realism. You can get lost in abstracts, creating them and viewing them. They awaken the senses in a completely different way than in “regular” art. They can be completely unique depending on the medium from a mix of color, or line, or texture or depth. They can be utter chaos or orderly organization.

This art call is open to all local, domestic, national, and international professional and amateur artists. All art mediums will be considered in this call for submissions.

Cost: $35 for 3 entries, $5 for additional entries.

The deadline for submissions is June 3, 2017. Submit here.

SHOUT! A Juried Exhibition at ARC Gallery, Chicago. July 19 - August 12, 2017

Deadline for Applications: Sunday, June 11, 11:59PM CST 

In late July 2017, ARC will present "SHOUT!" As political passions sweep the country, public expression has taken the form of marching, petitioning, donating, writing to congress…. While ARC Gallery encourages all these voices of outrage and resistance, the gallery is particularly committed to supporting creative expression as a vital and essential avenue of engagement as well. The creativity of signs at recent marches are just one inspiring example. Because of this, ARC invites artists to participate in an exhibition, opening in July 2017, which will bring together a host of voices, culminating in a collaborative SHOUT! for justice, democracy, and equality.

In this call, ARC seeks out a diversity of art and artists, recognizing that in the awareness of our intersectionality, we can better acknowledge and celebrate the differences among us. ARC does not discriminate by gender, race, religion, sexuality, age or political party. All applications are welcome.
