Our Planet: Ourselves

Close on May 29, 2021

Territory: Worldwide

Theme: Our Planet: Ourselves

Eligibility: Open to all- Original works created within the last 5 years.

Entry Fees: $40

Prize: Exhibition

Spring is here! And the beauty of our natural world is ever more apparent. Green shoots are poking through the crust, and once again the earth is warming in the sun. However "the warming earth" carries a more somber message as well - a reminder of the fruits of our greed, the fragility of our planet, the reality of our losses. And, as we face the urgency to respond, we seek to raise our artistic voices -- to celebrate, to mourn, to activate, and to contemplate how we live together in relationship to this one planet we must all share and nurture.

We welcome all applications to our next juried show "Our Planet: Ourselves", which will give expression to these messages. All media is accepted, including video, performance and sound; and all artists' work will be considered. Due to space limitations no large projections or media-based installations will be accepted. Three "juror awards" will be selected for a small monetary award ($100 each); and awarded work will be featured on the ARC website.

The exhibition will run from June 24 - August 14, 2021. This time frame is equal to two ARC Gallery exhibition months - so more opportunity for your work to be viewed! We encourage everyone to enter.
