Call to Artists for Figure This- Deadline March 23rd

F T Call to Artist (Medium Banner (US) (Landscape))

Call to artists for Figure This All Media juried Exhibition!

It’s time to submit your figurative masterpieces to our upcoming juried exhibition, Figure This, presented collaboratively with Tustin Area Council for Fine Arts (TACFA). Your deadline is MARCH 23rd. That will be here before you know it! Click here to enter!

This year we do not have a residency limitation, except you must be able to hand-deliver & retrieve you work.  Submit your best work – almost anything goes! Whether it’s 2-D or 3-D, painting, photography, ceramics, glass, wood, jewelry, fiber, mixed media and more, we’re excited to see your unique interpretation of the human figure or figures within a scene. 

The southern California art scene is rich & we’ll be featuring the cream of the crop. All media will be considered for acceptance, including but not limited to: acrylic, ceramic, drawing, fiber/textile, glass, mixed media, metal, oil, pastel, photography, printmaking, watercolor, and wood. The more creative and innovative your entries are, the more interesting the show will be! And don’t forget cash prizes will be awarded in 3 categories: Traditional, Contemporary, & Contemporary Craft.

We are thrilled to announce that Brian Haberlin, an award-winning figurative artist, will serve as this year’s esteemed judge! With his expertise spanning fine art, comic book creation, drawing, editing, and education, Brian brings a wealth of knowledge that perfectly complements this year’s show.

Don’t forget the deadline is MARCH 23rd! The exhibit opens April 26th & continues through May 10th.

We need YOUR help in spreading the word for the call to artists for Figure This All Media. Click this link to OnlineJuriedShows.com for full show details & to submit your work. Artists are welcome to submit two pieces of art for their entries. Be sure to share the call to artists with all your artistic friends & any arts organizations you belong to. And lastly, HAVE FUN! The more creative you are, the better your chances are of being selected for exhibiting and for winning one of those cash awards.
