CALL TO ARTISTS
Guilford Art Center’s upcoming exhibition, Dear Mother, presents works which honor our relationship to the natural world through a variety of artistic mediums. This exhibition will explore and embrace our most ancient connections through one of our most human behaviors – artmaking. We are seeking to display artworks incorporating natural elements or depicting natural scenes. This may be interpreted as loosely or as literally as you feel. We invite you to submit two pieces via email to aseneco@guilfordartcenter.org by April 4, 2025 for consideration. Works will be juried by our in-house exhibitions team and artists will be notified about selected works by Monday, April 14, 2025.
