Abstract Art comes in many forms from formal geometric simplicity to expressionism; from traditional materials to found assembled objects. The common thread running through this diverse category is the desire to depict more than what meets the eye, to go deeper than surface appearances.
Whether your art is inspired by the implications of quantum physics, metaphysics, spirituality, formal design or any combination we invite you to submit your abstract explorations of art to this national juried exhibition. Submissions can include all media, including painting, drawing, collage, fiber, found-object assemblages, mixed media, sculpture, video. Please read further guidelines specific to this call on the Submittable entry portal.
