Collage

 

Deadline:  April 18, 2024 {ONLINE}

 

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

Exhibition Concept
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. 

Jurors
Kimberley Acebo Arteche, Co-Executive Director, Berkeley Art Center, Berkeley, CA
Rangsook Yoon, Ph.D., Senior Curator, Sarasota Art Museum, Sarasota, FL

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

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

Artwork Specifications

For our 50th anniversary celebration in 2024, we’ll have a beautiful exhibit featuring red, white, & blue quilts! Whether antique or contemporary or Art, Traditional, or Modern in design, you can submit your quilt to be part of this once-in-a-lifetime exhibit!

Limit three (3) entries per person.
Each work must measure a minimum of 36” on each side.
The quilt can be NO LONGER than 110” ON A SIDE.

Quilt must read as red, white and blue. Small areas of other colors may be in the design of a fabric but the colors of the quilt must read as Red, White, and Blue.

Only quilts should be submitted. 
There is a nonrefundable $20 submission fee per quilt.
