Call for Entry at Gallery 114

Gallery 114 is pleased to announce a call to artists for Taproot (tāp’r t’, -r t’)

“We do not have to be long in the woods to experience the always rather anxious
impression of ‘going deeper and deeper’ into a limitless world….”
~ Gaston Bachelard

Gallery 114’s annual juried show Taproot (tāp’r t’, -r t’) examines the artist’s
impulse toward meaning-making, toward the process of finding the source. What
in daily life provides context, gives form to meaning? Rather than put forth a set of
specific content criteria, the Gallery is looking for submissions that either draw from
or describe this impulse, what connects the artist to this limitless world. All medias
considered, including 2-D, 3-D, and digital formats.
For more information: http://www.gallery114.org/taproot.html

Call for Entry at Gallery 114

UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL
Where the large is contained in the small.

November 1 – December 1, 2012
Submission Deadline: October 7

Gallery 114 is pleased to announce a call to artists for Up Close & Personal, a Juried Exhibition of small works. Open to all artists, submissions may not exceed 8” in any dimension, and must be suitable for hanging on a wall. We will not be able to accommodate free-standing works for this exhibit.

“Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.”
—Vincent Van Gogh
