Deadline: Friday, January 15, 2021
CALL FOR ENTRIES:
We received a record number of entries for last's year's theme, "Art in Times of Anxiety." Although artists lamented the state of 2019, the year to follow has proved to be arguably worse. However, artists persist in trying times and continue to make work and we believe that the making of art is a fundamentally hopeful act.
All interpretations of the theme, “Hope” of are welcome in a variety of media, subjects, and approaches. Artists are invited to submit two-dimensional, three-dimensional, installation or digital media (including video-based media). Composition, technique, style, expression, and craft will be considered in the selection process.

In the unlikely event that our campus close for the project dates of the show, an online exhibition will be held for accepted works and prizes will still be awarded.
While our gallery is open, please visit our website to review our Covid-19 guidelines before planning a visit to our campus. Masks are required to be worn inside, and groups sizes must be limited to nine persons in the gallery space at a time. A formal reception will not be held, and all awards will be announced online by the opening date of February 11, 2021, on our website. https://www.uncp.edu/departments/art/ad-gallery
