The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit works that examine the aesthetics of technology across time and media.

INTERFACE is an exhibit about the aesthetics of technology, with a focus that includes the emerging trends of new media, but also historical ones. As technologies evolve, so do their looks and feels: business-like terminals, 8-bit pixels, psychedelic pulp, the charm and color of Y2K, even the rhythm and timbre of the never-ending streams in our pockets. Each shift reveals not only technological progress, but cultural mood, nostalgia, and projection into the future.

Yet the aesthetics of our technologies are part of a longer story. Rasping marks in wood, a distinctive brushmark or smudge of oil paint, the crackle of vinyl, or the grain of film all remind us that technology—old or new—imprints itself on the art it makes possible.

The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit works that engage with the universal language of numbers, as both measurement and metaphor, structure and symbol.

We live by numbers. We count the days until a child is born, and the days since. We mark time in birthdays, anniversaries, and retirements. We measure progress in grades, salaries, “likes,” years on the job, and steps taken or miles run. Numbers shape how we understand ourselves and the world—our distance traveled, our age, our debts, our hopes.

Numbers are also a language. They describe not only what is tangible but also what lies beyond immediate observation—weather patterns, the speed of light, the pull of gravity, the scale of galaxies. Like letters and type, they carry formal beauty in their shapes and arrangements. Writing the notation for a perfect sphere is so much simpler than drawing one, and yet both actions “mean” the same concept.

The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit works that use or examine repetition, either as a formal approach or as an underlying concept.

Repetition sets precedence. A repeated element, audible, visual, creates a pattern. This pattern, its predictability, leads to rhythm and continuity. It creates a sense of movement in time or place. When you break that pattern and interrupt the flow you have created you subvert that continuity and pull the rug out from the viewer. The use of repetition both builds and disrupts.

Repetition allows for comparison. Being refections of each other, doubles and doppelgängers highlight difference and create a dialogue.

Repetition is action full of care. Re-addressing a familiar subject permits you to return to it again with new knowledge, gained the first time you paid it attention.

Repetition persists. Trying again and again begets mastery. It erodes shorelines and carves canyons.

Repetition disseminates. Multiples, editions, clones, and copies spread, reaching far from where they originated.

For FROZEN, we seek photography that captures the distilled essence of winter—its clean lines, soft textures, and silent spaces. Think snow-covered hills at dawn, delicate frost crystals, breath turning to mist, frozen rivers, or the quiet geometry of ice.

Whether stark and minimal or rich with detail, we welcome work that celebrates winter’s ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. All photographic approaches are encouraged—black and white, color, traditional, experimental, and everything in between.

We look forward to seeing how you capture the frozen world.

The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit works about revelations, sudden comprehension, and epiphanies from within the mundane.

In the repetition of the everyday, the smallest glimmer can cut through like a bolt of lightning—or arrive more gently, through a subtle but irrevocable shift. A whisper. Despite its brevity, it appears at just the right moment to change you. And changed, you may see everything differently.

Glimmers usually come unbidden. They find us in the shower, while preparing a meal, walking the dog, sweeping the studio floor. Magic arises from the mundanity of life—the neutral backdrop against which something unexpected and transformative can emerge. These flashes of the divine reach us when we are open enough, still enough, to receive them.

This exhibition will showcase works that emerge from or reflect on such moments of insight—when the everyday becomes fertile ground. A half-finished sketch, a broken vase, an old object, a glance out the window, a shimmer of light through a glass of water: each can become a door to something more. 

The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit original works of art in any media, any genre/style, any size for consideration to be awarded this year’s Manifest Prize. One work will be selected for the $5,000 award, featured in the gallery, and published. Four semi-finalist works will also be recognized and published.

Works submitted must have been completed within the past five years (2020-2025), and must also be available for the exhibition period of early December through mid-January in order to be eligible.

Entry Fee: $60 for up to five entries submitted. $5 per each additional entry.

ABOUT BIOLA UNIVERSITY:

As a leader in academic quality and innovation, Biola University is consistently ranked among the nation’s top Christian universities, known for leading degree programs in the arts, business, film, the sciences, theology and more. Biola’s eight schools offer more than 300 academic programs at the bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral levels, enrolling over 5000 students at the La Mirada campus, online and in distance learning programs throughout the world. Located in Los Angeles County, Biola’s 95-acre campus is in the heart of Southern California, one of the great global hubs of arts, and one of the largest and most diverse urban areas in the United States.

COMMISSIONED ARTWORK THEMES & CONTEXT:

Biola University is searching for an artist or artist team to complete a new large-scale public mural on its La Mirada campus. Although the exact location and scale will be determined by the artist in consultation with the Biola Art Selection Committee, the artist should be prepared to create an outdoor mural that is at least 10 feet by 20 feet in scale.

Thematically, the mural should be focused on depicting the diversity of God’s Kingdom and should be consistent with Biola’s Statement of Unity Amidst Diversity, which can be found here: https://www.biola.edu/about/diversity.

Artists may choose to use biblical passages or themes as inspiration (such as the Great Commission, Revelation, gospel stories, parables, etc.). In determining the placement of the mural, the artist should also consider Biola’s current public art so that the mural is in dialogue with these other pieces.

Further campus features that may be considered for inspiration or response include:

• Biola’s Calvary Chapel: https://www.biola.edu/calvary-chapel
• Bardwell Hall, home of Biola’s Department of Art
• Biola’s Galleries and Exhibitions Spaces: https://www.biola.edu/exhibitions

STYLISTIC SPECIFICATIONS:

The mural should include representational figuration of some kind, though artists are welcome to work within any representational styles or traditions. The figuration should be culturally-diverse.

Christian iconography may be used, but is not required. Some degree of abstraction is welcome, but the work should be recognizably representational to a public audience.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:

Though no specific type of materials are required in creating the mural, the proposal must provide assurance that the artwork will be durable and routine maintenance requirements will be minimal.

The materials used should be able to withstand continuous sun exposure and intermittent rain without noticeable deterioration for at least 10 years. Surplus materials (2%) must also be provided for future maintenance needs.

Any structural or engineering plans and specifications must be completed by the artist or artist team, in coordination with Biola University and any necessary approved sub-contractors, and subject to any required approval or permit by local zoning or building authorities.

BUDGET DETAILS:

Each of the three semi-finalists chosen by the Art Selection Committee will receive $2000 USD to develop and submit an Artwork Proposal. Following proposal presentations by each semi-finalist, the Committee will choose an Artist/Artist Team to commission.

The chosen Artist/Artist Team will receive an award of $20,000 USD to complete the artwork.

Budgets are to cover all costs associated with the commissioning of artwork, including but not limited to design, fabrication, any travel and accommodations, transportation, installation, photographic documentation, catalog documentation and an identifying plaque.

Any required permits, or engineer fees must be paid by the commissioned artist/artist team.

Any structural or engineer fees for approved structural modifications, must be paid by the commissioned artist/artist team.

State and County laws related to public construction, including licensing, insurance, bonding, and payment of prevailing wage rates, may apply and will be the responsibility of the commissioned artist/artist team.
 

SEMI-FINALIST SELECTION:

The Artist Selection Committee will review the submissions and select three semi-finalist artists or artists teams to tour the site and develop concept proposals. Semi-finalist artists will be selected based on the following criteria:

• Background work reflects artistic merit, technical skill, authenticity, originality, commitment to material(s)/media and artistic practice, and evokes response or inquiry.
• Appropriateness of the artist’s medium and style in relation to the project goals and setting.
• The Statement of Interest is connected to the artwork themes and goals outlined for the public art project.
• Information from references (3) who have worked with the artist and have detailed knowledge of the artist’s work and qualifications.
• Compatibility with the mission of Biola University and the Artwork Themes & Context as listed above.
• Experience with projects of a similar scale and scope including familiarity with the public art process, the public review approval process, and/or collaboration with schools, design agencies, public facilities, and art selection juries.

Each semi-finalist artist or artist team individually will present the concept proposal to the Artist Selection Committee. The semi-finalist artists or artist teams preparing concept proposals shall retain intellectual property rights to the artwork concepts commissioned for Biola University. Biola can retain all proposal materials presented, but without license to publish. The semi-finalist artists or artist teams’ proposed artwork submissions must be original and unique to Biola.

This juried open call invites submissions of photographic portraits, to be shown in a virtual exhibition organized by LACP.

The term portrait is used here broadly, referencing images of groups, single humans and non-human beings. The image could be an expression of an emotion, a conceptual meditation on loved experience, or a documentarian effort.

As we collectively experience the alienation, isolation and loneliness brought about by our current digital era, portraits seem more pressing and relevant than ever. To look at one’s eyes in an image feels like an immediate invitation to connect, to explore, to be curious about others, to wonder about what the image reveals and what it could never disclose. It’s an ongoing call for empathy, for a relationship with those we will probably never meet, whose lives we, the viewers, will never experience.

Emanuel Levinas wrote about the ethical values we reveal in the world by encountering one’s face. Roland Barthes was fascinated by portraits from the past, and the idea that he is looking at eyes that looked at the world’s greats, or that he is looking at a person no longer living. Photographic portraits shorten the distance between the past and present, between us and those around us, and might help us see beyond ourselves, beyond our time, beyond our experience in the world.

The Open Call is just that, an open theme - all subjects, The SE Center is looking for images of any theme, media, digital, analog, or antique processes that show your best work. Analog and digital manipulation in all its forms welcome. Monochrome or color, all subjects, analog, digital or antique processes, photographers of all skill levels and locations are welcome.

As our life experiences mature, reflections become so much more than a copy of our own image. Virtually everything can be placed near a reflective surface and, as if by magic, you get to see two, or three or….  And the possibilities are endless.  From a skyline reflected in a park lake, to the flash of sunlight reflected on a steel pipe, pedestrians in a department store window, and waves of sunlight reflected off the ocean that show as playful lines on a child’s face.

Call for Entries: for In-Person Exhibition
Juried by: Matthew Finley, Queer Artist & Dr. Rotem Rozental, Los Angeles Center of Photography Executive Director and Chief Curator
Deadline for Submission: Thursday, August 28th, 2025 at Midnight PST
Notice of Acceptance: Tuesday, September 9th, 2025

About
This call invites submissions for single photographs and series of photographic works that focus on queer joy, in all its forms, to be shown as part of the exhibition Lost and Found by artist Matthew Finley at the Los Angeles Center of Photography (LACP), October 2-November 1, 2025. 

In this moment, as the US marks a decade since legalizing gay marriage, and when people in power insist on marginalizing, isolating and denouncing LGBTQ+ communities, LACP insists on elevating love and acceptance. 

In the spirit of the exhibition’s attempt to both imagine a world where no queer person feels ashamed for who they love and explore the nuances of human connection, this call seeks to highlight and demand visibility for LGBTQ+ voices, while celebrating an authentic experience of life, rooted in joy that is both specific to the queer community and universal.

Monochrome: Light, Shadow, Form, and Texture

Deadline for submissions: Sep 8, 2025

Juror: Jason Landry

Prints due: Oct 24, 2025

Exhibition: November 7 - November 28, 2025

In a world saturated with color, there is something timeless and powerful about the monochrome image. Stripped to its essentials—light, shadow, form, and texture—black-and-white photography invites us to see differently. It distills the world into tone and emotion, allowing mood and meaning to rise to the surface.

For this juried exhibition, we seek photographs that celebrate the monochrome palette in all its forms—from deep blacks to silvery grays, soft sepias to high-key whites. Whether analog or digital, documentary or abstract, we welcome images that embrace the expressive range of monochrome photography.

All photographic styles and processes are welcome.

Abington Art Center is proud to present a call for submissions for our show: 10×10 to-go.

Unlike a conventional exhibition, 10×10 to-go acts as a pop-up shop, with an emphasis on selling smaller, moderately-priced work to those visiting our center. 10×10 to-go grants artists the opportunity to not only make artwork sales in a gallery-setting, but also showcase a breadth of work.

Artists are invited to submit 10 works of art in any medium with the size limitation of 10×10 inches, inclusive of frame, and no more than 3 inches in depth. Works must be available for sale with the price not exceeding $250. 

This exhibition will take place throughout the holiday season during the Astra Lumina light show from November 6, 2025 – January 5, 2026. Abington Art Center staff will handle all sales on behalf of the artist, allowing collectors to purchase pieces directly off the gallery wall and exhibiting artists to make profit on a recurring basis.

Artists who are interested in this opportunity may apply to our application form by October 12.

The exhibition will be launched online on September 15. A printed catalog will be available and a short video of the exhibition will be posted on our YouTube channel.

Cash Prizes worth $1,000 will be awarded.

In a time when many funding opportunities for artists have been reduced or eliminated, Artist Grant provides unrestricted grants of $1,200 USD to one visual artist three times each year. Deadlines are March 15, July 15, and November 15. 

Artist Grant's mission is to support artists with the time and financial resources they need to focus on their creative work, without the burdens of complex application processes.

The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit works about celebration—about grit, survival, and the moment struggle shifts into triumph.

Roaring is the sound of a thousand clapping hands.

The moment of victory is brief. When oxygen finally settles in our lungs, we step back to take in the monument of our achievement—tangible proof of choice, perseverance, and resolve. Reality wavers. Vindication hardens into history, marked by the sweet crack and whistle of fireworks.

Though fleeting, celebration echoes. It lingers in the inescapable glint of glitter, in the aching muscles that worked too hard for too long, in works of art that commemorate, symbolize, or embody the moment.

Entry Fee: NO FEE

We invite artists to submit work for our upcoming exhibition, "Bridge Between Abstract and Reality," an exploration of the space where the intangible and the representational meet. This exhibition celebrates Abstract Realism in its many forms—whether through subtle gestures or bold juxtapositions.

This is a non-themed, loosely guided call—you do not need to create new work. We encourage you to select pieces from your existing body of work that speak to this interplay between abstraction and realism.

All accepted artwork will be featured in our gallery and website. This exhibition does not have cash awards.

How to Interpret the Theme

We are looking for artwork that embodies or hints at:

• The blending of abstraction with recognizableforms

• Imagery that floats between the dreamlike and the concrete

• Magical Realism or surrealism grounded in everyday objects or scenes

• Symbolic or expressive use of form, line, or color that suggests reality without fully depicting it

• Pieces that challenge viewers to question what is real, imagined, or felt

• Art that lies on the extreme ends of the spectrum will also be considered

Whether your work leans toward abstract landscapes, narrative figuration with abstract elements, or symbolic compositions that suggest hidden stories, we want to see how you build a bridge between abstraction and representation.

Submission Details

• Open to all mediums, original works only. Some sculptures will be accepted. 

• Up to 2 pieces per artist may be submitted

We aim to curate a show that invites both intellectual reflection and emotional resonance. Our gallery is known for its inclusive, colorful energy—we welcome both seasoned and emerging artists whose work speaks to the in-between.

Emerging and mid-career artists are invited to submit their work for consideration to be published on I Like Your Work's website and art catalog, curated by Shannon Rae Fincke of The Middle Room Gallery and Institute for Visual Arts.

Let your art reach new audiences and become part of a growing global creative community! 

The landscape, whether grand or personal, has been a subject of photography since the beginning and played an important role in establishing photography as a fine art medium. Early on, both in history and most photographers experience, the landscape was one of most accessible and familiar subjects available.

Our juror for the Contemporary Landscape is Jeff Schewe. Schewe has been an award winning Advertising Photographer in Chicago for over 30 years. He is accomplished in tabletop, location, portraiture and particularly accomplished in computer imaging.

Jeff shoots a variety of subject matter and likes to control as much of the production as possible. He does this by making his own models, designing and building his own sets, painting backgrounds and employing computer imaging. He has been doing his own imaging for almost 20 years in house on his high-end Macintosh systems. 

Jeff Schewe has been described as a Photoshop Guru’s Guru. He’s on the inside of the development and testing of Photoshop, Camera Raw and Lightroom and has helped guide and direct many features since Photoshop 4.0. Short of some of the Photoshop engineers, there’s probably not many people who knows Photoshop like Jeff.

35-40 selected images will hang in the SE Center’s Virtual gallery space for approximately one month. In addition, selected images are featured in the SE Center social media accounts (FB, IG, Twitter) and an archived, online slideshow. A video walkthrough of each exhibition is also featured and archived.

The littleSCULPTURE Show will be hosted by multiple venues during the ISC conference.

Open to registered conference attendees with ISC membership only, limited to just 30 spots allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis. Registration required, $50 fee for participants, some restrictions apply. The exhibition will be on view Thursday from 6:00-8:00 PM at HALL Arts Hotel, and on Saturday all day at The Museum of Biblical Art.
