Resurgence: Art of the Botanical

As Mosaic Art Collective prepares for our May show, "Resurgence: Art of the Botanical" we invite artists to explore the spirit of nature. This exhibition will feature an installation created by our HS Open Studio program and also flower arrangements by local floral artists inspired by selected pieces from the show. A special auction of these floral arrangements will be held to benefit a local charity. 

Local artists of all mediums are encouraged to engage with the vibrancy of the season, unveiling the hidden stories within the plant kingdom and highlighting the interconnectedness of all living things.

Mediums 

All mediums are encourage and accepted through this call. Feel free to experiment and explore something new. 

Work must be original. Unless it is a photograph, digital art, etching or a relief print, no prints will be allowed to hang on the wall. If you would like to submit a two or three prints for sale in the print bin please let the attendant know at work drop off and make certain that those prints are in plastic sleeves and clearly labled with your name, title and price of the print. 

Submissions are now open! We eagerly await your creative contributions. 
The submission deadline is Friday, April 26, 2024 at 11:59pm
