Call for Art at Spare Change Gallery
Spare Change Gallery is placing a call for art to exhibit in our space between February and June 2025. The theme is 'Our People.' We want you to tell us about your people. Who are the people who came before you and made you who you are today? Who are the people with you now? Who are the ones who will come after you? Whether you have intentionally chosen them or not, we want to learn about the people from your life and see the resulting artwork that reflects them. Work can range from literal depictions to more abstract interpretations of the impact they have made on you. Artists will receive 100% of sales of any work sold. No application fee to apply.
Submissions are due by 11:59 pm on December 1st, 2024.
