Call for Arts: Chaos Exhibit
Chaos Exhibit
O’Hanlon Center Gallery
Nov 19 – Dec 19, 2024
Juried by Chester Arnold
IN-GALLERY SHOW ONLY.
O’Hanlon Center for the Arts invites you to submit work for our Chaos Exhibition 2024
“Art is chaos taking shape,” Pablo Picasso
Step away from reason and logic. Step away from learned hard and fast art rules. Step into splashy, drippy, spontaneous, unpredictable work that looks chaotic but seems to have an internal logic and intelligence to it.
Remember Guernica, Pablo Picasso’s interpretation of chaos, which embodies all the agitation, panic, emotional and physical movement of chaos. View Jackson Pollock and Cornelia Parker and see how they portrayed chaos in their work. Chaos is all around us.
All artists are requested to think about chaos in their inner imaginings or in their feelings about the outer world they live. We are looking for how you, the artist, create a work that portrays chaos, and express it in the medium of your choice.

About the Juror:
Chester Arnold
My paintings are part of a visual dialogue running the length and breadth of human history. The search for excellence in this Art and Craft has led me to explore the natural world and the human events that inhabit it, constructing narratives that celebrate and question our presence in the world.
Although representational, I seek a way of painting that is richly traditional, yet radically and surprisingly new. I attempt to articulate more than the surfaces and dimensions of reality, summoning the wordless meanings and sensations that only visual art can.

20th Anniversary Wabi-Sabi Exhibition
O’Hanlon Center Gallery
Oct 8 – Nov 7, 2024
Juried by Dart and Ester Cherk
This year’s show is dedicated in memory of Rhonda Rubin.
IN-GALLERY SHOW ONLY.
O’Hanlon Center for the Arts invites you to submit work for our 20th Annual Wabi-Sabi Exhibition 2024
“…celebrating the simple, the rustic, the unassuming; the dignity of things imperfect, uncontrolled and incomplete; the transient beauty of the natural world…”
When seeking to understand Wabi-Sabi, it is helpful to contemplate the idea that beauty is inherent in a simple object, which in turn evokes a quiet, thoughtful mood and atmosphere. The emphasis of this exhibit will be not on the final perfected form of the work, but on how well pieces reflect a sense and feeling of this elusive concept. In particular, the focus will be on the imaginative use of natural materials that may include found objects.

Creative Mill Valley residents in Cascade Canyon for 65 YEARS! From city sidewalks, we came to find a fixer-upper cabin in a redwood canyon. While creating our family nest in it, we discovered the cycles of nature, ever changing, nothing wasted.
