Eros and Thanatos

Buckham Gallery invites submissions for Eros & Thanatos, a national juried competition and exhibition exploring the Greek words for Love and Death. Eros, the Greek god of love and sex, and Thanatos, the personification of death, have been used throughout western culture to symbolize the driving forces of life, love, sexuality and creativity as well as acknowledging our own mortality. All styles, media, and interpretations are welcome and encouraged.

Each artist may submit up to 3 original works for a $20 entry fee (free for Buckham members). Submitted images must represent the work's true appearance and not be digitally altered. Artists must be 18 years of age or older and residents of the USA. Submissions must be entered through CaFE by November 23, 2019. Artists will be notified by December 15, 2019.

Selected works must be delivered to Buckham Gallery by February 8, 2020, and artists must cover transportation costs. All work must arrive ready to install with professional-level presentation. The exhibition opens February 14, 2020 and runs through March 7, 2020. Prizes awarded by juror Ed Fraga are: first prize $1,000; second prize $500; third prize $250. Works not claimed within 30 days of the end of the exhibit will become property of Buckham Gallery. For questions, contact Michele Leclaire at [email protected] or call 810-239-6233.
