NYC4PA TREES Call for Entry, USA

I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree.

Joyce Kilmer wrote those words in 1915. And they hold true today. Trees are all around us in cities, towns and the country. They can be a striking visual, as a standalone in a barren landscape or be part of everyday life in the yard with an old tire swing hanging from a low branch. Trees are much a part of the animal kingdom providing limbs for resting and nesting, as well as wonderful sources of food for so many species.

Forests and jungles create whole environments. Trees standing alone on hillsides create lovely shadows. They can be tall and straight like a winter pine or bend and twist as they grow. The art can be found in the leaves, the branches, single trees or in groups of every size from oases to orchards.

2025 Summer Juried Show: The Real, USA

We are excited to present a call for submissions for our Summer Juried Show: The Real.

The Real is an exhibition that highlights artists’ technical abilities in rendering real life within art, from realism to hyperrealism. 

Artists have a unique ability to blur the boundary between the physical world and the creative plane through their artwork. The effect of such, known as “trompe l’oeil”, has been seen throughout art history, from ancient Greek painter Zeuxis’ grape still life that was so realistic it attracted hungry birds, to contemporary artist Ron Mueck’s figurative sculptures that make audiences look twice. Work that exudes this level of realism continues to serve as an impressive art form and calls for both artist and audience to look closely and partake in the thrill of this craft.

  • What draws you to create work in such detail?

  • Is there room for artistic interpretation within realistic/hyperrealistic art?

  • What can one learn through close observation and careful rendition?

Artists are invited to submit up to 3 works by May 4th to the following form. Applicants will be notified with a decision by May 16th. 

**Please note: Due to the nature of this exhibition, we will not be accepting photographic works.** 

Submissions should be high resolution photos (72ppi) including the title of the work, year of creation, dimensions, media, and name of the artist. Please include a statement that addresses at least one of the prompted questions above.

Selected artwork(s) must be dropped off or shipped to Abington Art Center by June 7.

All shipping costs are covered by the artist. Please include a return label, as artwork(s) will be shipped back to the artist in the box it came in.

Exhibition will run June 20 - July 28, 2025

The opening reception and award ceremony will be held on June 20th, 6-8pm

Call for Art, The Still Life, USA

Still-life painting emerged as a distinct genre and professional specialization in Western painting by the late 16th century, and has remained significant since then. One advantage of the still-life artform is that it allows an artist much freedom to experiment with the arrangement of elements within a composition of a painting

Still-life painting encompasses other types of painting with prominent still-life elements, usually symbolic, and "images that rely on a multitude of still-life elements ostensibly to reproduce a 'slice of life'".Artwork may be 2D work; painting, drawing, photography, and printmaking. Original artwork only. No giclées or reproductions.

Open Call | Exhibition in China - Urban Landscape, USA

Independent & Image Art Space (Chongqing, China) is happy to announce a group exhibition open call “Urban Landscape".

This exhibition open call for submissions aims to explore and present the diversity and complexity of modern urban environments through the unique perspective of photography. We invite artists to focus on the multiple facets of urban spaces, including their form, structure, and transformation, capturing a range of scenes from bustling streets to quiet corners, and from modern architecture to historical landmarks. Through these works, we seek to showcase the physical characteristics of urban environments while delving into how human activity shapes these spaces, reflecting societal changes, cultural diversity, and the interplay of individual emotions.

Photographers are encouraged to capture seemingly ordinary urban moments, conveying a visual language filled with tension and rhythm. These images will invite the audience to reexamine the everyday elements of the city, uncovering the subtle emotions and meanings often overlooked in the details and imagery. In doing so, artists will not only showcase the external forms of urban landscapes but also reveal the dynamic relationship between humans and the city through photographic language, reflecting the cultural depth and continuous transformation of urban life.

This exhibition aims to provoke deep reflection on urban environments, presenting not only their physical transformations but also exploring the underlying social, cultural, and emotional layers. Through these visual works, we hope to uncover the subtle connection between humanity and the urban landscape, examining the multiple dimensions of the city as a microcosm of society and culture.

WATCHING: A Call for Works About Observation, Surveillance, Examination, and Paying Close Attention, USA

The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit original works about looking and being looked at. Open to all traditional and non-traditional genre and media, including 2D, 3D, etc.


What does it feel like to be looked at?


A part of us craves the attention of others. Kids beg to be observed as they dive into a pool. So many of us post pictures online, waiting for responses from our audience of friends and strangers. Being watched means that we may be loved, or that we may be important. Maybe others will be impressed! Maybe they will like us more—or maybe they will like us less. We modulate our behavior for that attention. It changes us. It creates ‘culture'.

MAGNITUDE SEVEN: 21st Annual Call for Small Works, USA

The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit works of any genre, subject matter, and/or content that measures no more than 7 inches in any direction.


Every year Manifest produces a special exhibit of LITTLE works of art from around the world. 

Each iteration of the exhibit brings in hundreds of powerful yet diminutive works for our jury to consider. Inevitably this results in a gallery full of diverse, compelling, and exquisite little gems. Manifest’s patrons eagerly await the Magnitude SEVEN event each year. This annual project is one of the most varied exhibits in our season. So we are always excited to offer this call to artists to submit works no larger than seven inches in any dimension (any proportion). 

Standard presentation devices such as pedestals, mats, and frames that are not considered part of the work of art are not limited by the 7" criteria.

RITES OF PASSAGE: 21st National Emerging Artists Exhibition, USA

The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit works created by college juniors, seniors, and recent undergraduates in 2024, 2025, or 2026. Open to any and all 2d and 3d traditional and non-traditional visual arts media, genre, subject matter, and content.


Every year through this exhibition Manifest surveys work by students and recent graduates of art and design programs, seeking to assemble, promote, and document examples of the excellence being achieved by new or emerging artists for Rites of Passage. This exhibit, season publication, and award are intended to support that emergence. 

For a twenty-first straight year we offer this challenge to students and the recently graduated in regional, national, and international college undergraduate programs to show us what they have achieved, bring it off campus, and share it with our international viewing public. To date Manifest has exhibited student works representing over 232 different academic institutions!

A Call for Illinois Artists: The Phillip J. Rock Center and School Glen Ellyn, Illinois, USA

The Art-in-Architecture Program of the Capital Development Board is pleased to announce a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to Illinois professional artists to create permanent original public art for The Phillip J. Rock Center and School in Glen Ellyn, Illinois where a new 24,665 square foot building is being constructed to replace the existing facility built in the 1960s. Once complete the existing building will be demolished to make way for a playground and site improvements.

The Philip J. Rock Center and School is more than a facility; it is an extended family to parents and their children who live with both hearing and vision disabilities. Our devoted staff accompany the kids throughout the day, constantly working toward the goal of helping each student live as independently as possible according to their personal abilities. The shared vision of "Together for Independence" makes this a reality.

The Philip J. Rock Center and School serves students who are deafblind, blind or visually impaired, or deaf or hard-of-hearing. Also, many students have mental and/or physical impairments. These students have multiple needs and require a functional academic curriculum with a focus on daily living skills. It is a publicly funded residential school serving students from the age of three through their twenty-second birthday/school year.
