Call for Artists Age 40 and Under

Syracuse Stage to hold children's auditions

Like Us on Facebook; Follow Us on Twitter!

ArtRage Gallery announces a call to artists for a juried group exhibition, tentatively titled "Carrying the Weight," to be held from February 1 to March 14, 2020.

Entries will be considered from artists who are at or under 40 years of age at the time of submission — those who will be carrying the weight of the kind of world their elders have left for them.

The gallery is looking for work that addresses current social issues of importance: race and gender equality, societal prejudices, hunger, homelessness, cultural and sexual violence, war, immigration, climate issues, etc.

All 2- and 3-dimensional art as well as video will be considered; however, there will be some size limitations.

ArtRage exhibits progressive art that inspires resistance and promotes social awareness, supports social justice, challenges preconceptions, and encourages cultural change.

For more information, visit artragegallery.org/get-involved/call-for-art.

Submission Deadline: October 1, 2019. No Entry fee.
