Proud To Be Seen

Proud To Be Seen is an exhibition where artists interpret the pride of who they are and their community. Artists may consider picturing pride, an examination of what Pride means to them, being seen, a journey to pride, how artists interpret Pride, the eyes of Pride, and self discovery through Pride. Artists are encouraged to create work that is innovative in concept and approach, whether representational or abstract.

Work must have been completed within the last 24 months and cannot have been previously displayed at Tubac Center of the Arts. All work must be original creations by the artist. Giclee reproductions are not permitted. Up to 50 works of art will be selected for a virtual online exhibition hosted on both the Tubac Center of the Arts and Bruce Baughman Studio & Gallery websites. From those 50, selected artworks will be presented at the Bruce Baughman Studio and Gallery in Tubac, AZ. Awards will be selected from the gallery works and presented during the opening reception on Friday, May 27th. Exhibition dates are May 27 - July 4, 2022.

Entry fee is $35 for the first image and $3 for each additional image (up to 3 images total). All work must be for sale. Tubac Center of the Arts and Bruce Baughman Studio Gallery will share a 40% commission on sold work; artists will receive 60% of the sale price. Awards include: Best of Show ($500), Award of Excellence ($300), Award of Merit ($200), and Honorable Mention ($75). Artists are responsible for shipping to and from the gallery. Unsold work will be shipped back to the artist after the close of the exhibition. Participating artists must be 18 years or older and reside in the United States.
