I Sing the Body Electric!

The Lab on Santa Fe is seeking works of art for the May 2023 exhibition "I Sing the Body Electric!" which pays homage to Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass. The exhibition invites artists to investigate what art means in relation to Transcendentalism and Nature, and how spirituality includes everything that life is—the good, the bad, and the ugly—as well as the thin boundary between our exterior and interior world.

The Lab on Santa Fe is located at 840 N Santa Fe Drive between 8th and 9th Avenue in the heart of the Santa Fe Art District in Downtown Denver. Artists accepted into this exhibition will have their work shown in a central location of the Denver Art Scene with maximum exposure, including the Santa Fe Art Crawl where hundreds and thousands of patrons will see the work. The gallery welcomes artists from outside Denver and out-of-state, and offers out-of-state artists a maximum of $50 to cover shipping costs if accepted.

Applicants must submit 1-3 images and provide a backstory indicating how the art pieces relate to the body, nature, spirituality, and the human psyche. All artists are welcome to apply, including abstract artists, fine artists, photographers, and mixed-media artists whose work has at least an element of the abstract. Entry fee is $35.00. Application deadline: April 10, 2023 at 11:59 p.m. MDT.
