Faces & Façades

2022 Annual Juried Exhibition

Entry Deadline: October 30, 2022 at Midnight

SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW CLOSED

Notification of Accepted Works: November 1, 2022

For this exhibit, we seek work on the theme of "Faces & Façades," a title that conjures up ideas of appearance, disguise, masks, veneers and covers. We welcome the artist's interpretation in all its forms. Our jurors will review entries in all media in two or three-dimensions. 

We are pleased to announce this year's jurors,

Adam Sanders & Barbara Freidman.

He has made prints that are in the permanent collections of MOMA, the Louvre and other museums and his commercial work can be seen in magazines and on billboards everywhere.
