STAND

STAND is an online exhibition exploring the intersection of art and politics. The theme invites artists to take a stand on issues of injustice, inequities, neglect, movements, protest, and other pressing matters. Artists are asked to show what STAND means to them through their perspective.

The call is open to artists worldwide, both amateur and professional, working in all fine art mediums including oil, acrylic, watermedia, pastel, drawing, printmaking, mixed media, photography, sculpture, fiber, wood, and digital art (video excluded). Work that is copied or done under the guidance of an instructor is not eligible. Artists may submit up to 20 images. Entry fee is $20 for the first entry and $5 for each additional entry. Payment is non-refundable and does not guarantee acceptance.

All accepted pieces will be displayed in the online gallery at www.art-fluent.com. Awards include First Place: $500, Second Place: $200, and Third Place: $100. Selection is by director's choice with no personal feedback provided by jurors. Notification of acceptance will be sent by email on February 19, 2021. For any artwork sold, artists receive 100% of the sale. A portion of entry fee proceeds are donated to organizations committed to the arts and supporting artists.
