Haven: Place of Comfort & Contemplation

Haven: Place of Comfort & Contemplation invites artists to explore spaces of sanctuary—whether physical places, states of mind, or human connection. Artists are encouraged to show their interpretation of haven, beckoning viewers into these sanctuaries and revealing their profound impact through various mediums and techniques. Submissions could include landscapes and still lifes exploring the power of the natural world, introspective works celebrating inner sanctums and meditation, or portraiture celebrating human and animal interconnectedness.

All mediums welcome, including oil, watercolor, pastel, acrylic, photography, drawings, and sculptures in permanent materials such as bronze, marble, terra cotta, fiberglass, resin, wood, and paper mache.

Wall-mounted work must include fixtures and be ready to hang. Entry fee: $35 per entry plus $2 media fee. Submissions entered online only; images must be 5MB or less in JPEG format.
