Environments

Environments define the external world that surrounds us. Whether it is the magnificent view of a national park, the rooms of your house or anything in between, this exhibit will explore the different meanings, influences and expressions of the concept of environments. Artists are invited to submit original artwork for the Environments exhibit at the Kavanagh Gallery of Fine Line Creative Arts Center, St. Charles, Illinois. This all-media show is open to all artists 18 and over who reside in the United States.

Up to 3 pieces may be submitted, with one image per piece. Artwork must be original, completed in the last three years, and not previously shown at Fine Line. All pieces must be for sale. An artist statement limited to 1000 characters is required. The entry fee is $35.00. Jury decisions will be based on creativity, quality of artistry, and originality. Notification of acceptance will be sent via email on or before February 25, 2023.

The exhibition runs March 30 - May 12, 2023 at the Kavanagh Gallery (37w570 Bolcum Rd, St Charles, IL 60175). An in-person opening reception will be held March 30, 6-8 pm.
