Go Figure!

The SAA Collective gallery, a subsidiary of the Springfield Art Association in Springfield, Illinois, will host a juried exhibition that explores the use of the figure in visual art being produced today. From classical approaches to every possible alternative, the exhibition seeks to explore how the figure is being used in contemporary visual art media. This exhibition is open to all artists 18 years and older working in all media. All submitted work must reference the human form.

A $25 non-refundable entry fee is required per artist. Each artist may submit up to three works for consideration, with one full image and one detail shot per work. A statement of up to 1000 words may be submitted but is not required. A minimum of $1000 in cash prizes will be awarded, possibly more based on the number of entries. Works may be for sale, but it is not required; the SAA will reserve a 35% commission on all sales from this exhibit.

Accepted works must be received by the SAA between February 24 and March 4, 2020. Hand-delivered work must be delivered and collected during regular office hours: Monday through Friday 9 to 5, Saturday 10 to 3. Artists shipping their work must include prepaid labels for return shipping. All hanging work must be framed and/or equipped with hanging devices. All artwork is insured while in the possession of the SAA; artists are responsible for insurance on inbound and outbound shipping. A reception will be held at the SAA Collective Gallery in the Hoogland Center for the Arts at 420 South 6th Street on Friday, March 13, 2020 from 5 to 7 pm, with prizes awarded at 6:15 pm. The exhibition closes on Thursday, April 30, 2020.
