Call for Artists/Art

Fall 2025 JURIED ART SHOW: CONVERGENCE OF CREATIVITY

Theme: The Shape of Things

Description:

The Shape of Things is a juried exhibition open to all ages 16yrs and older that invites artists to examine the forms, structures, and outlines that define our visual and conceptual world. From literal geometry to abstract patterns, from organic silhouettes to manmade architecture, this show explores how shape serves as both a foundation and a language in artistic expression.

Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme broadly — through formal exploration, metaphor, or narrative. Works may consider how shapes inform perception, identity, space, emotion, or transformation. What does it mean to give form to thought, or to shape something from nothing?

All visual media are welcome, including (but not limited to) painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, digital art, fiber, ceramics.

This exhibition seeks to highlight a wide range of approaches — minimalist to maximalist, figurative to abstract — that speak to the enduring power of shape in the creative process.

Illumination is a juried exhibition open to San Ramon Residents of all ages exploring the concept of light — both as a physical phenomenon and as a symbol of clarity, transformation, and revelation. Artists are invited to submit work that investigates how light defines space, reveals truth, or inspires insight. Whether through natural light, artificial glow, or metaphorical brilliance, this show celebrates work that interprets illumination in diverse, innovative ways.

Accepted media include painting, photography, sculpture, digital art, mixed media, ceramics, and more. Both representational and abstract interpretations are welcome.
