Atlas Art Contest

 

Online Event - Calls for Submissions - Acrylic, Ceramics, Digital Media, Fiber, Glass, Mosaic, Graphic Design, Drawing/Illustration, Jewelry, Mixed media, Metalsmithing, Sculpture, Oil, Pastel, Photography, Watercolor - Other

The Atlas Society seeks entries for the online Atlas Art Contest. Theme: The Entrepreneur. Entry deadline: Sept. 30, 2016. Entry fee: $10.00. Four judges will pick the top finalists, then the winners will be selected by public vote. Jurors include renowned sculptor Sabin Howard. Artists project—and viewers respond to—a re-creation of reality: a view of reality informed by their beliefs and values. Though Ayn Rand is revered—and reviled—as an intellectual, a writer, and a philosopher, she was, above all, an artist. She used art to illuminate human potential, to light the path forward, and to lead the way. Today, the moral ideals of reason, achievement, and individualism are in danger of being lost, with dire consequences for a free society. Ayn Rand conveyed those ideals brilliantly in her novels, but they must be renewed in every generation through the imagination and talent of artists who, like Rand, can lead the way. To foster this renewal, we at the Atlas Society—a 25-year-old think tank devoted to the philosophy of Objectivism—will leverage the power of art to inspire, surprise, delight, and provoke in order to introduce a new generation to the values contained in Rand’s works. We invite artists of all types—whether painters, sculptors, cartoonists, or photographers—to represent their own take on these crucial values in visually arresting, engaging, and alluring new ways. At the end of the entry period, our notable panel of judges will select 20 finalists. Cash-prize winners will then be selected by public vote.

PH21 Gallery: Call for Entries - Portraiture

 

Calls for Submissions - Photography - Photo Gallery

A juried international photography exhibition. November 24 – December 13, 2016. Exhibit in Europe! Portraiture emerged as one of the most prominent genres of depictive media early in the history of the visual arts, and the tacit or explicit rules, conventions and cultural expectations have always influenced the ways by which artists approached the genre. Photography is no exception; numerous different and characteristic styles of portraiture emerged throughout the history of the medium. Today we live in an exciting new era for portraiture. There has never been a time in human history when so many portraits were produced day after day as in the era of digital technologies. Photographers have responded to the cultural, social and technological changes by reinterpreting the age-old genre of portraiture, and it is always an exciting and rewarding task to organize an exhibition for some of the recent achievements in the field. PH21 Gallery invites photographers to submit their work for a group exhibition themed Portraiture. We are looking for submissions from all photographers who are interested in this genre, and who would like to share their work with a wider international audience through the exposure of PH21 Gallery. The theme is broadly construed; from traditional fine art portraits to selfies, people may be portrayed in countless unique ways. Indeed, we are interested in all possible creative photographic interpretations of the theme.

Join us this time as 1650 is goin' up the country in search of simpler lives and greener pastures. Whether you prefer to shoot small town living in Utah or Uganda, 1650 wants to see your communes and communities, your tribes and treehouses, from anywhere in the world.

Your blood pressure will thank you in the morning. Approximately fifty works will be chosen from submitted photos to be included in the SMALL TOWNS & RURAL PLACES group photography exhibition at 1650 Gallery in Los Angeles.
