STRATA II

Verum Ultimum Art Gallery invites artists to submit work exploring the theme STRATA II. This is an online-only virtual group exhibition. Selected artists will be featured on the Verum Ultimum Art Gallery website and displayed in the gallery's virtual gallery platform with works appearing in scale. Artists will also be featured through online blog posts, with social media promotion continuing for a minimum of 6 weeks.

The competition is open to all 2D and 3D artists, national and international, working in painting, drawing, photography, graphics, digital, and sculpture. Artists must be 18 years of age or older. Strata refers to layers—literal (in material usage or striated appearance) or symbolic (layers of meaning and complexity). Artists are invited to interpret how layering is expressed through their work, whether reflecting the layered aspects of our pandemic-impacted world, the complexity of current world traumas and socioeconomic striations, or as an aspect of their creative process. All mediums and modes of expression are welcome.

Submit a minimum of 2 images and a maximum of 6 images as digital JPG files. Entry fee is $25.00 for 2 images, with an additional $5.00 for each image over 2. Artists will be notified of acceptance or non-acceptance by email no later than March 16, 2023. The exhibition opens during the week of March 20th and runs for a minimum of 5 weeks. An exhibition book will be produced and retained in the Verum Ultimum library. Artists retain all copyrights to their work.
