Submit a sketch idea and two images of past finished work OR final artwork may be submitted. Submissions due July 22, 2020. If selected, finished artwork due by July 31, 2020.

Submit via e-mail (no entry fee) to Val Beerbower at beerbower@downtowndayton.org.

ILLUMINATE

The Dayton Society of Artists (DSA) is pleased to present ILLUMINATE, a regional call for lens-based artwork. All artists, 18 years or older and living and/or working in Ohio, Indiana, or Kentucky are eligible for entry. Each piece must, be lens-based (including but not limited to photography, computer edited photos, video, etc.) but may have other mediums or techniques incorporated into the work. Traditional and non-traditional approaches are welcome, and the medium may be interpreted broadly. Art should fit into the theme, Illuminate. Amy Powell and Gary Beeber will jury the entries and $1000 will be awarded in prizes. Support for this exhibition is provided by FotoFocus.

Illuminate was originally slated to be a part of the Fotofocus Biennial. Fotofocus has cancelled their programming for 2020, but has generously awarded their grant recipients with the full amount of the award early (plus 10%!) and to use as necessary due to closures and economic stress caused by COVID-19. Thank you, Fotofocus!

Contengency Plan: The DSA greatly hopes and anticipates that their High Street Gallery will be open to the public by the time art delivery/drop off is required, but in the case of continued social distancing or continued closure, the DSA will hold the exhibition, Illuminate, virtually as some of their other 2020 shows.

Submissions Due: August 2, 2020

Support for this exhibition is provided by FotoFocus
