Calls for Art

CALL FOR ART - Crossroads: A Shifting Landscape

The Walsh Gallery at Seton Hall University seeks submissions for “Crossroads: A Shifting Landscape,” a multi-media group exhibition of contemporary landscape art curated by Jesse Gordon and Emily Ozga. Submissions should address innovations in the landscape genre both visually and thematically, as well as through the use of alternative media. The curators are particularly interested in work that addresses the natural world as well as urban landscapes, pushing the boundaries of traditional landscape painting. The exhibition will emphasize the changing role of landscape art in the present day as a platform for socio- political discourse as opposed to a verisimilitude of the natural world.

Exhibition dates are January 17, 2012 through February 17, 2012. $15/5 entries. Deadline: Wednesday, December 7, 2011 (receipt date).
