Call for Art - Tools: Form and Function

The Gallery at Graphite Arts Center is seeking artwork for the upcoming exhibition ‘Tools: Form and Function.’

About the exhibit:

We use tools to do nearly everything. To eat we need a fork. To sleep we need a bed. Without changing themselves, tools are the implements that incite change, i.e. the fork moves the food. A tool can keep working as long as it has materials to work on. Tools can be as old as the concept of using tools, or they can be new inventions of futuristic design. The exhibit Tools: Form and Function looks at the foundational objects and implements we rely on every day, re-imagined through artistic interpretation. A creative response to the idea of “tools” is encouraged over literal illustration.

Call for Art | Teen Open Call

The Gallery at Graphite Arts Center is seeking artwork for the upcoming exhibition ‘Teen Open Call.’

About the exhibit:

Today’s youth are creative and talented. ‘Teen Open Call’ is a non-theme specific art exhibit designed to give area teens a voice through creative expression. ‘Teen Open Call’ celebrates the artistic abilities of teens (ages 13-19) in our community by showcasing youth art in a professional gallery setting at Graphite Arts Center for a 7 week exhibition. Graphite is seeking original, high quality, finished works by teen artists that display artistic talent, and skill with the use of chosen material.

Entry and acceptance to Teen Open Call provides opportunities not only for public display of artwork, but also public recognition beyond the school community. For most teens this will be the first opportunity to show in a gallery space outside of school. Mention of artwork exhibited in a public gallery may strengthen college applications and increase opportunities for scholarships.

This is a juried, group show with rules for submission, standards for acceptance and a small entry fee. Two-dimensional art must be framed for exhibition. All interested teens are encouraged to apply, understanding that not all entries will necessarily be accepted.
