Call for Artists: "Awakening" Virtual Exhibit

The Art League of Long Island invites artists across the United States to submit entries for its upcoming juried exhibition titled “Awakening”. The exhibit will be presented in a virtual gallery format July 17 through September 6, 2021.

About the exhibit: We find ourselves awakening, as though from a long slumber. The slow recovery from the pandemic forcing us to relate to Rip Van Winkle’s surprise in finding a changing world. Spring is bursting forth with life again, but that is not all. The world around us is, indeed, awakening to changing social, political and environmental landscapes as well. The Art League of Long Island asks you to share with us your work that features your expression of our world as it acclimates to a new normal.

The deadline for entries is Monday, June 14, 2021. To obtain the prospectus email info@artleagueli.org or visit www.artleagueli.org/awakening. Applications are being accepted through www.smarterentry.com/CallsForEntry/ALLI
