The Body Re-Formed: Contemporary Approaches to Figure Drawing

Artlink is accepting submissions for a juried exhibition exploring contemporary figure drawing. Any artist 18+ years of age residing in the United States is eligible. The exhibition will be juried by professional artist and educator Christopher Ganz.

All works must be figure drawing-based, though media can vary, including graphite, charcoal, pastels, color pencils, crayons, markers, pens, pen and ink, ink washes, gouaches, watercolor, and combinations thereof. Collage elements can also be included. All work must be original with no reproduction prints. If the work was created at an organization such as a university, community art center, or local drawing group, please include that information in the description. If created by observing an online live model, please include the group name or source.

Entry fee is $12 per entry, with up to 10 entries accepted. Work samples may include up to 10 images and 6 videos, with a minimum of 1 total sample required. Accepted artwork must be shipped or hand-delivered by October 12, 2025. The exhibition runs October 23 - November 16, 2025, with an opening reception on Thursday, October 23 from 5-8pm. All artwork sales are subject to a 35% sales fee. Artwork will be insured during the exhibition at Artlink, though Artlink is not liable for damage or loss in transit. Works must be professionally presented and ready for installation upon delivery. Contact [email protected] for questions or special installation requirements.
