Whether your work is bold and expressive\, subtle and contemplative\, geometric\, organic\, or entirely experimental\, we welcome contemporary interpretations of abstraction in all media. \n\n\n\nThis exhibition seeks artwork that embraces the language of abstraction and invites viewers to engage with art through feeling\, imagination\, and personal interpretation. We encourage submissions that challenge convention\, explore process\, and reveal new ways of seeing. \n\n\n\nEligible Media \n\n\n\n\nPainting\n\n\n\nDrawing\n\n\n\nPrintmaking\n\n\n\nPhotography\n\n\n\nSculpture\n\n\n\nFiber Arts\n\n\n\nMixed Media\n\n\n\n\nSubmission Requirements \n\n\n\n\nUp to 3 works may be submitted for consideration.
