A group exhibition sponsored by the International Encaustic Artists (IEA) at the Atlantic Gallery in the Chelsea Art District of New York City. Juried by Ingrid Dinter and organized by IEA Vice President Melissa Rubin
Exhibition Dates: November 28th – December 16th, 2017
Opening Reception: Thursday, November 30th, 2017, 5:30-8:30 PM
Location: Atlantic Gallery, Suite 540, 548 West 28th Street, New York, NY 10001
Eligibility: This is an open call. The primary medium must be encaustic/wax and all work must be for sale.
Entry Fee (up to 3 pieces): IEA members: $25; Non-IEA members: $45
To apply: Submission must be made online via EntryThingy.com by 12 midnight PST September 30th, 2017.
The International Encaustic Artists (IEA) is pleased to announce a juried call for encaustic and cold wax artwork for the upcoming exhibition, Hopeful Darkness, to be hosted at the Atlantic Gallery in New York City from November 28th through December 16th, 2017.
Hopeful Darkness reflects the coming darker months, a time when each day gets shorter and winter approaches. It is at this time of year when we seek the light as the darkness becomes more pervasive. Historically, ancient cultures respected and revered nature, and were awed and unsettled by the fading light. It was at this time of year people relied on certain rites, guaranteeing the light would return.
The fading light can also be seen as a metaphor for the current state of our moment in time. We live in a contentious, and not always light-filled world, which is ever-changing and uncertain; it can feel as if the darkness is encroaching on so many levels. As artists, we must transcend this feeling and allow the light, the hopeful energy, to shine through. We must resist the shadow the net of darkness can cast, and have faith in the future and the possibility it can bring.
Two states of being, with such opposite meanings, fit so beautifully together and can create a powerful statement:
Hopeful = believing something good will happen; auspicious; bright; encouraging; optimistic; promising. Darkness = devoid of light; dismal; gloomy; secret; possessing depth and richness.
We are seeking works created with encaustic/wax that reflect and express the dichotomy of Hopeful Darkness.
ABOUT THE JUROR

After working in several art galleries, including Pat Hearn and Emily Harvey, she was archivist for the artist Donald Baechler from 1991-2004. In October 2004 she opened an art gallery in the Chelsea art district of New York City, in operation until summer 2009. Since then she has been active as a private dealer, curator, writer, as well as with independent projects. Ms. Dinter has taught at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, and is a member of Arttable (The Leadership Organization for Professional Women in the Visual Arts), and POWarts (Professional Organization for Women in the Arts).
