Call for Entry: America the Beautiful

In honor of the United States’ 250th anniversary, ARTS invites artists to reflect on the people, places, history, and ideals that have shaped our nation. America the Beautiful seeks work that celebrates the diversity, complexity, and evolving story of the American experience—from its founding to the present day. Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme broadly. Submissions may explore historical events, cultural traditions, iconic landscapes, everyday life, national symbols, or personal narratives that speak to the spirit of America. Selected works will be featured in a juried exhibition at the ARTS Ross Gallery in Fayetteville, Texas, offering a collective portrait of a nation 250 years in the making.
