CITY FRUIT
country pumpkin

I grew up right outside of Atlanta, but I’ve never really been a city girl.  I love downtown anywhere as a temporary destination, but home is always somewhere rural for me.  It comes with drawbacks like a lack of ethnically diverse restaurants and markets, but it also comes with the joy of connection to your food.  I know who grew my tomatoes.  I know who propagated the giant basil plant in my herb garden.  I know who to call when I run out of ramps.  The City is intoxicating, but I’ll just stay put except for vacation if that’s okay. This next Call wants to know what draws you to the City.  Great Opportunity….

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for City. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($24), and they will provide free matting & framing if you work in their standard sizes. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you enter, please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. We’ve got a great history with them…including Best of Show!

CALL for ENTRIES:
City

Uptown, downtown,
urban spaces, public places
and the life
that inhabits them!

 Nothing in the city is stopping, nothing is slow.  There’s never a moment of silence, a moment alone.  Horns honking, people talking, vendors yelling, children laughing, doors opening & doors closing.  The city has a beat, a rhythm, a constant ebb & flow.  Strangers brushing shoulders, lovers holding hands, catch it all in an instant.  Because in an instant it will be gone.

All except the buildings. The stoic silence of these structures juxtaposes all the life.  Distinct architecture, setting the scene, a beauty so quiet in a sea of so much noise. Each brick tells a story.  They are characters in this play of city life.

ELIGIBILITY: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger, you must have a legal guardian make the submission for you.
