Last year, as part of our $1 million commitment to dismantle the barriers women face when they say “no,” we partnered with SeekHer Foundation, an organization working to dismantle societal expectations that negatively impact women. We created the “No” Grants, a fund providing short-term support to women who want to say “no” more in the workplace.

Excessive Measures Deadline: August 13, 2023 Entry Fee: $28 Open to: 18+ US and Canada. Exhibit Dates: 08/26/2023-10/01/2023 Location: Pittsburgh/Vestige Concept Gallery Contact: Alexander Sands, [email protected] Additional Information: Dripping. With. Excess... Excessive Measures that is. We are looking for multi-faceted work that explores those times where things go over the line. Way over the line... artwork could be over the top, complex, gaudy, rude, flashy, disproportionately-sized, and mouthy, in-your-face, pissed off as hell at the world, climb to the rooftop of the building and scream. When people say things like "follow best practice", and used other dumbed down language, does this make you cringe inside? Do you dislike monotony and plain grey rooms? Just know you're not alone, this show can help. It's time to let it all out. We accept artwork from any medium*, including Student, Emerging, Mid-Career, and/or Professional Artists. Work should follow and/or challenge the theme of the exhibit, can be evocative, and above all, should be attractive for audiences and collectors. Sculptural and 3D works are encouraged to apply. (*We unfortunately cannot show video art at this time, but please inquire) "Excessive Measures" In-Person Opening Reception will be held Saturday, August 26th. A second mid-show event is also TBD. The show runs to October 1st. More Information Trauma-In-Place: Chautauqua National Juried Exhibition Deadline: August 27, 2023 Entry Fee: $35 Open to: Open to artists working in the US, aged 18 and over. All media welcome. Exhibit Dates: October 5 - November 3, 2023 Location: Richmond Contact: MELISSA VANDENBERG, [email protected] Additional Information: EKU Giles Gallery, in partnership with EKU Libraries, School of Art & Design, and the Institute for Creative & Collaborative Arts, is accepting submissions for Trauma-In-Place: Chautauqua National Juried Exhibition, scheduled for October 5 - November 3, 2023. Trauma-In-Place derives its title from the cold war era idiom “shelter-in-place.” The shelter-in-place phraseology experienced an unfortunate resurrection amid the pandemic, escalating mass shootings, increased natural disasters, and ongoing global conflict. Trauma-In-Place as a theme looks to provide an open-ended exhibit platform for artists working in the United States that inclusively explore the trauma as a universal human experience. Trauma-In-Place encourages broad interpretation on how art and artists can help us analyze, reconcile, and heal from trauma. Submissions may investigate, but are not limited to, discrimination, climate change, ecology, immigration, refugees, war, colonization, generational trauma, mental health, food insecurity, surviving violence, safe housing, and more optimistically recovery, love, autonomy, and rebirth. As the world sheltered in recent years, not surprisingly artists and designers continued their hard work under the influence of unparalleled global events. The distinctive ways in which artists examine and process trauma through creative scholarship has the power to bond us as we move past isolation towards healing. More Information 14th Annual TAPPED: Works by Artists and their Current or Former Instructors Deadline: August 31, 2023 Entry Fee: $40 for up to FOUR entries submitted. $5 per each additional entry. Open to: Open Internationally Exhibit Dates: December 15 2023-January 12, 2024 Location: Cincinnati, OH Contact: Jason Franz, [email protected] Additional Information: The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit works of art in any media, any genre/style, and any size. Submission to this exhibit may be initiated by either party. Artists will seek out an instructor who has been a key teacher to them or whose work they particularly respect and 'tap' them to participate in this project submission. The relationship between artists and their current or former instructors can be a powerful one. Even when this bond is left unstated, we carry our professors' voices forward in time as we mature as artists and people. We eventually realize that the instruction given by our teachers during our relatively brief careers as students continues to expand within us. We realize that the learning they inspired (or insisted upon) is a chain-reaction process that develops across our lifetime. All of us who have been students carry forward our teachers' legacy in one form or another. And those who are, or have been teachers, bear witness to the potency of studenthood. Most working artists have been a student at some point in time. Most have reached where they are because of this. Out of respect for this artist-teacher bond, and in honor of instructors working hard to help artists tap into a higher mind relative to art and life, we offer TAPPED every year, an annual exhibit that presents paired works of art by current or former artist/teacher pairs. * It is important to note that this project is open to CURRENT or PAST professor/student pairs. The 'student' half of the pair may be a college freshman, a retired veteran, or at any stage in between—they only needed to be their teacher's student at some point in time. Likewise, the instructor half of the pair may be currently or no longer teaching. The sole criteria for the pairing is that the relationship between the two was a formal teacher/student one at some point in time. ANNUAL CASH AWARD: The annual Manifest Grand Jury Prize will result in the awarding of one significant cash prize ($5000) to a single work selected as the 'best of the entire season'. More Information ILLUSTRATED: An International Call for Works that Explain, Clarify, Illuminate, or Communicate Deadline: September 2, 2023 Entry Fee: $40 for up to FOUR entries submitted. $5 per each additional entry. Open to: Open Internationally Exhibit Dates: December 15 2023-January 12, 2024 Location: Cincinnati, OH Contact: Jason Franz, [email protected] Additional Information: The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit original works that depict, represent, explain, clarify, relate, illuminate, detail, or communicate.This may most certainly include works that are not 'pure' illustration, but which reflect on or reference the above ideas and the role of the visual in similar ways. Open to all traditional and non-traditional genre and media. How much do you want to be understood? Clarity of meaning is a question, rather than an essential quality of art. We can explore ideas while holding space for uncertainty and mystery, leaving some questions open-ended. But when is there no room for ambiguity? Visual work is sometimes tasked with answering questions rather than raising them, with conveying information rather than emotion—think of technical manuals explaining which-part-goes-where, books full of images that work in union with text to tell a story (or tell a story without any text at all), advertisements where images are calibrated, targeted, to market products to you, courtroom drawings, maps, and so much more. Before the advent of photography, visual art and design were practically synonymous with 'illustration'. Before the advent of movable type, visual illustration was the primary means of education and non-audible communication. When communication is the goal, the artist looks beyond their own self expression or self-satisfaction, considering more carefully the audience and the message they are conveying—and when words, even direct words, result in confusion or delay, an image shows us the way. ANNUAL CASH AWARD: The annual Manifest Grand Jury Prize will result in the awarding of one significant cash prize ($5000) to a single work selected as the 'best of the entire season'. More Information DISQUIET: An International Call for Art that Unsettles Deadline: September 3, 2023 Entry Fee: $40 for up to FOUR entries submitted. $5 per each additional entry. Open to: Open Internationally Exhibit Dates: December 15 2023-January 12, 2024 Location: Cincinnati, OH Contact: Jason Franz, [email protected] Additional Information: The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit original works about about the strange, the uncanny, the abject, the revolting, the unsettling, and the things that frighten us. Open to all traditional and non-traditional genre and media. What are the signs that something is wrong? There is a moment before we react to danger where we register, subconsciously, that something is off. That we have reason to be afraid. The source of our disquiet can be obvious, symbols we can name as horrific: teeth, viscera, a body open in unnatural ways. When the image lacks obvious violence, but instead depicts something familiar made unfamiliar/untrustworthy, or vice versa, our horror simmers before exploding because the fear is harder to name—a room where the edges don't come together correctly, a face held in an expression incongruous to the moment, a chemical sheen glistening on the surface of a comforting meal. When we are unsettled by what we see, our sense of being “okay”, the certitude of continued cleanliness or wholeness is challenged, and we experience the frission, the thrill, the arousal, the fascination of being under threat. We are primed for a reaction in this moment, to run, to fight, to be sick and push something away, or else to succumb and be changed. What do we see at the border between life as we know it, and the unknown?

This could include religious motifs, ancient relics, sacred geometry and symbolism, hidden meanings, the Trinity, dark arts, works that are triptychs, and exploration of three-dimensional work that may challenge the perspective of audiences. We accept artwork from any medium, including Student, Emerging, Mid-Career, and/or Professional Artists.
