Celebrate! A Place At The Table

In honor of SCWCA's 50th anniversary, this open call invites self-identified women artists to submit work to Celebrate!, a juried exhibition marking five decades of creating community through art, education, and social activism in the visual arts across Southern California. The exhibition welcomes a wide interpretation of the theme, encouraging artists to reflect on and celebrate what matters most in their lives and creative practice—whether personal milestones, social progress, relationships, the natural world, identity, resistance, cultural heritage, or the act of making art itself.

Open to artists and photographers working in all media except AI. Submissions are limited to six original artworks per artist as high-resolution JPGs. Maximum size for 2D work is 48x48 inches; the gallery will provide pedestals for 3D work. No video, installation, or performance works accepted. All work must be appropriate for viewers of all ages. Entries must be original and of the artist's own execution; previously exhibited SCWCA work is not eligible. All artwork must be for sale, with 75% of sales going to the artist and 25% to Burbank Arts Federation. Artists are advised to insure their artwork as no insurance is provided.

Entry fee is $40 for the first artwork, with up to five additional entries at $5 each. Submission deadline is Friday, August 1, 2025, 11:59 MST. Acceptance notices will be sent Friday, August 15, 2025. The exhibition runs September 5-25, 2025, at Betsy Lueke Creative Arts Center Gallery, 1100 West Clark Avenue, Burbank, CA. Artwork delivery is Tuesday, September 2, 2025, 9am-12pm. The opening reception is Friday, September 5, 2025, 7:00-9:00 pm. Juror: Holly Jerger, Art Galleries Director at California State University, Northridge.
