"Holding Space" as a theme encompasses smaller works that create room for reflection, tension, or stillness. Scale determines what is allowed in or kept out. Digital Entry is open to all members. Works are not eligible if previously accepted for one of our juried exhibitions; if they have been exhibited in the Bendheim, Flinn, or GAS Galleries; or if completed before 2022. By submitting artwork, you are confirming that it is original artwork created by you and not generated by AI. Digital images must accurately represent the art.
The new size requirement is that wall art must not exceed 30” in width and 40” in length.
