Still Point Art Gallery Announces Call for Artists - Still Point VI

BRUNSWICK, Maine - Feb. 28, 2014 - PRLog -- Still Point Art Gallery invites submissions for its upcoming online exhibition: Still Point VI. Christine Cote, gallery director, describes the exhibition:

One way of thinking about visual art is that the artist finds or discovers something—be it inside or outside of the artist—and, through art, holds it still. A photographer captures a moment in time with a click of the shutter and that moment is locked in stillness. A painter paints a scene using oils on canvas and that scene exists forever in a motionless state. A sculptor molds and shapes details of a human body, and that body stands frozen...never to age...never to change.

Still Point VI is the sixth annual exhibition focused on exploring the things that artists, through art, hold still. This is the gallery's annual unthemed exhibition.

Exhibition dates are May 1 through July 31, 2014. All artists eighteen years of age or older are eligible to apply.

No more than thirty artists will be chosen for the exhibition, making selection competitive. Selections will be made by the editorial staff of Still Point Arts Quarterly. All selected images will appear in the online gallery, and at least one of each selected artist’s works will be printed in the summer 2014 issue of Still Point Arts Quarterly. In addition, five awards will be given: Award for Best in Show (Single Image); Award for Best in Show (Portfolio…Three or More Images; Award for Best Photograph or Digital Artwork; Award for Best Painting or Drawing; and Award for Best Three-Dimensional or Mixed Media Work. Each award recipient will be named a Gallery Artist for one year and is invited to submit a portfolio for publication in Still Point Arts Quarterly.
