OPEN-CALL SHOW: “American Dreams”
Show runs Monday, March 24th, through Friday, May 2nd
A collaboration between The Exchange and WVIA, northeastern Pennsylvania’s public radio and television station
As part of a series of programs that WVIA will facilitate on the subject of the arts and civic engagement, The Exchange asks artists the following questions: What does it mean to be an American? What are the big ideas that we have built our nation on? Which of those ideas really work? Which of them do we still need to work on? How do we as artists drive these conversations and these efforts? America is more than one idea; in fact, it is the sum of all of our ideas – thus the plural name of the show, “American Dreams”.
Stay tuned for a more complete call for entries coming soon.
OPEN-CALL SHOW: “Tools of the Trade”
Show runs Monday, May 5th, through Friday, June 13th
The poem “The Village Blacksmith” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow speaks of a blacksmith’s bellows and brawny arms. Hammer, pencil, frying pan, a needle and thread, words (spoken or written), hands, a soft calming touch – what do all these have in common? Any one of them may serve as a tool of someone’s trade. The tools we use in our lives’ work have endless possibilities. Express in art your vision of a tool of your trade or of someone else’s trade.
OPEN-CALL SHOW: “Made by Fire”
Show runs Monday, June 16th, through Friday, July 25th
Potentially warming, potentially destructive, and also offering potential for creation, fire is a necessary element in certain processes of artmaking. From casting and forging metal to ceramics to glass art, the heat of fire is recorded in the resulting objects. The Exchange Gallery asks makers to submit their fire-made and fire-inspired art in the hottest show of the year.
OPEN-CALL SHOW: “Efforts at Imitation”
Show runs Monday, July 27th, through Friday, September 6th
“Imitation is not just the sincerest form of flattery – it’s the sincerest form of learning.” – G. B. Shaw
“Amateurs borrow, professionals steal.” – John Lennon (who apparently stole it from T. S. Eliot, who said “Amateur poets borrow; mature poets steal.”)
For this exhibition, the Exchange gallery will showcase artwork that mimics the look of famous works of art or is created in the style of a well-known artist. You may make an earnest attempt to recreate a masterpiece, or a parody of one, or put a new spin on an old classic, or any other interpretation.
OPEN-CALL SHOW: “Parks and Recreation”
Show runs Monday, September 8th, through Friday, October 17th
Outdoor recreation is one of Pennsylvania’s major industries. How do we as artists commemorate and celebrate the shared spaces that we all recreate in? Stay tuned for a more complete call for entries coming soon.
“Susquehanna Greenway Partnership photo contest winners”
