Ley Lines: connecting media, process, imagery, and concept across contemporary drawing

Ley Lines is a juried call for entry that investigates the nature of contemporary drawing, attempting to connect the many varied conceptual and aesthetic approaches to drawing practiced by visual artists today. The call is open to all stylistic interpretations of the drawing discipline, including traditional drawings as well as those that challenge assumptions of media, imagery, format, and concept.

Eligibility: US residents at least 18 years of age. All work must be original and open to any media, whether experimental or traditional drawing material. Submit up to 3 pieces for a non-refundable entry fee of $30. Images must be formatted as JPEGs up to 5 MB, with a minimum of 1920 pixels on the longest side. Include the title, media, and date completed for each work. Submit entries through callforentry.org.
