Curious Figure 3

Curious Figure 3 is the third installment of a juried figurative arts exhibition presented by The Siren Scene. This exhibition highlights figurative artists whose craft and storytelling mirror the currents of our time, offering vivid reflections of the human experience in all its complexity. The exhibition will be on view at the Co+Creative Center in New Bedford, Massachusetts.

The theme is "Figure & Field: Interplay of Form, Space, and Story." Artists are encouraged to submit work that explores the expressive potential of the human figure in dialogue with its surroundings (whether literal, symbolic, narrative, or illustrative) reflecting the dynamic interplay of form, space, and story. This exhibition specifically welcomes two-dimensional representational approaches in painting, drawing, and printmaking, with a focus on strong craftsmanship, clarity of design, and thoughtful storytelling. The exhibition is curated by Kat Knutsen and Joe Vaux.

Open to adult artists (18+) residing in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Hampshire, Maine, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Artists may submit up to 3 works for consideration. Artwork may not exceed 20 inches wide x 32 inches tall and must be original, created within the last 3 years, and available for the duration of the exhibition. Entry fee is $20. Awards include Jurors' Choice Award ($250 + 2 free copies of exhibition catalogue), Excellence in Craft Award (2 free copies of catalogue), and Excellence in Concept Award (2 free copies of catalogue).
