Entwined: Visual and Textual Narratives
Mosesian Center for the Arts
Watertown, MA
May 17, 2024 – June 21, 2024


The Mosesian Center for the Arts invites artists to submit work inspired by literature, the written word, folk tales, and tales of all kinds from fairy tales to narratives that are autobiographical or speak of the human condition. Visual arts have been inspired by the written word since antiquity. There are strong connections between literature and visual arts. Words paint pictures and artists interpret and /or are influenced by stories. The influence goes both ways, as stories are influenced by images as well. Artists working in all media are encouraged to submit artwork that combines text and image or interprets stories ranging from well-known literary pieces to personal writings.

Poetry, novels, songs are often enhanced by images. Children books are made more vivid when accompanied by pictures. Album covers and music videos come to life when combined with visuals. Art works such as painting, drawing, printmaking, collage, comic books, video, film, and sculpture that emphasize storytelling, or are influenced by the written word would be considered. Artwork, whether depicting a well know work of literature, mythology, or more conceptual interpretation of the connections between words and images are also encouraged.

Eligibility: All artists regardless of location are welcome to apply, including international artists.

Submission Fee: $10 per submission. Limit 5 submissions per artist.

Collage!_Bedford Gallery

DEADLINE: April 18, 2024 (ONLINE)


Collage!
Bedford Gallery
Lesher Center for the Arts
Walnut Creek, CA
July 6, 2024 – September 15, 2024


Derived from the French verb coller, meaning to glue/stick, collage refers to both the method and art form in which paper and other media are arranged and affixed to a substrate. Though the first evidence of collage coincided with the invention of paper in China around 200 BC, it was not until the early 20th century that artists first used it as a technique.

Collage has since evolved into a popular and powerful medium that transcends traditional artistic boundaries. Versatile and accessible, collage allows for a creative amalgamation of 2- and 3-D materials, creating a fascinating visual interplay of textures, colors, and forms that explore the juxtaposition of seemingly disparate elements. From analog cut-and-paste to digital layering, this exhibition celebrates the deft use of materials and creative spirit of collage.

Awards & Prizes
There will be over $2,000 in cash and prizes for artist awards.

Eligibility
Open to all artists, 18 years of age or older.

Entry Fee
Free for new or current Bedford Gallery donors who donate $50 or more.
$40 non-refundable entry fee for all other applicants.
