The City of Dublin invites qualified professional artists or student artists working under the supervision of a professional artist to submit designs/qualifications for a unique temporary art project.
This project is specifically seeking an artist(s) to complete lawn display(s) that could be shown in highly visible areas around the City, including the front lawn at Dublin Civic Center. Other locations throughout the City will be considered based on the proposals received. Artists are encouraged to be as creative as possible when approaching this project. The proposed lawn display should be inviting and encourage patron engagement. Site-specific proposals, as well as general proposals that the City may display at its sole discretion, are acceptable.

Who We Are: Portraying Identity
Identity is gloriously multifaceted and built upon a complex spectrum of factors. The portrayal of who we are can focus on a single, significant aspect of our identity or can reflect an entire network of associations shaped by broader spheres of influence: connections to familial, social, ethnic, cultural or other groups; personal or family history; geographical, economic or social circumstances; political or spiritual belief systems; jobs, lifestyles or personal interests; and so much more.
When you look inward and ask, “Who am I?” or look outward to your community and ask, “Who are we?” what do you see? Cabrillo Gallery welcomes all interpretations of the theme of identity. We invite you to share your representation of who you are within the vast continuum of what is to be human.
Open to US artists working in all media, including video.
Along the Colorado
On August 16, 2021, the US Bureau of Reclamation announced the first official shortage declaration for the Colorado River. For the seven US states along its course, this means new restrictions and a changed relationship not only to the river, but also to each other. The exhibition Along the Colorado is seeking artists whose work explores issues around the Colorado river –its scarcity, use, commodification, conservation, legality, and politics–by creatives who reside in these states.
Scheduled for August 2022 at the Nevada Humanities Program Gallery in Las Vegas, NV, the exhibition will mark the one-year anniversary of the shortage declaration.
Deadline, March 31, 2022. All media are welcome, artists from California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico may apply. Space is limited at the Nevada Humanities gallery, smaller works are encouraged. Artists may be responsible for shipping.

Call to Artists: Poetry & Collage Residency
A four-week, virtual/online residencywith Kolaj Institute in March 2022
Deadline to apply: Wednesday, February 2, 2022
It says something that in the Poetry Foundation’s Glossary of Poetic Terms, “collage” is one of the few visual art terms they define. Perhaps this is because so many poets have also been collage artists. In recent years, we’ve seen exhibitions from John Ashbery and Marc Strand, whose collage “dates back to his student days at Yale in the 1950s where he studied with Josef Albers, the renowned Bauhaus artist and color theorist, and also Bernard Chaet.” Arthur Solway recalled, “Though we were eight thousand miles apart we would have weekly Skype calls, and he was always eager and excited to show me the latest batch of collages he was working on.” A 2017 book of Helen Adam’s collages, which fellow poet Robert Duncan referred to as “pleasing weird”, has sold out. Keith Waldrop, Barbara Guest, John Wieners, Norma Cole, the list is long.
This project-driven residency is open to artists and poets. Participants will work together to investigate the intersection of collage and poetry by exploring concepts of found poetry, blackout poetry, collage poems, haikus, centos, response collages, response poems, word scrambles, concrete poetry, scatter collage poems, and other poems and artwork that inhabit this world. Together we will create working definitions and document techniques.
Guest speakers will share their practice, knowledge and experience. Portland, Oregon-based Kevin Sampsell is an editor, publisher, bookstore employee, collage artist, and author. His forthcoming book of collage art and poems, I Made an Accident, is being published by Clash Books. Renée Reizman is an interdisciplinary curator, artist and writer specializing in social practice and civic engagement. Her workshop, “Deconstructing Legalese”, uses found poetry to examine contracts and codes imposed upon us by bureaucratic systems, and reconstructs the language to reclaim our personal histories. Rod T. Boyer creates art and poetry under the moniker our thomas, exploring themes of redemption, mystery, and transformation. In Kolaj #32, his article, “Mind the Gap,” explored how collage and haiku share similar mechanisms of juxtaposition and disjunction.
In several virtual meetings over four weeks (see schedule below) and through ongoing, online discussion, artists will leave the residency with a deeper understanding of the intersection of collage and poetry. Individual participants will each create 3-5 page spreads that will be included in a forthcoming book of collage and poetry from Kolaj Institute. The pages may be entirely text, entirely images, or some combination of the two.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Collage Artist Residencies are intended for self-motivated writers and artists, at any stage in their career, who want to develop their practice by exploring a topic or working method and collaborating with others to produce a final product. Residencies are open to any artist over the age of 21 from anywhere in the world.
COST
The cost of the residency is $500 per artist; however, no artist will be turned away for lack of funds and the organizers will work with artists to build a financial aid package.

ONLINE MONOCHROMATIC One Color: Infinite Possibilities
MONOCHROMATIC One Color: Infinite Possibilities. ONLINE Exhibition
Juried by Suzanne Gray of Seager Gray Gallery.
Deadline Jan 30 at 11 pm Pacific Time.
How expressive can you be utilizing a single base hue but employing as many of its shades, tones and tints as you require? Monochromatic colors are all the colors of a single hue. Monochromatic color schemes are derived from a single base hue and extended using its shades, tones and tints. For example, in the Blue spectrum we have Azure, Cobalt, Cerulean, Ultramarine, etc. Reds might include Garnet, Crimson, Rose…the possibilities for explorations within each hue are endless. [Black and White compositions ARE Monochromatic.]
For inspiration, consider a few well-known artists who explored the possibilities of working in monochrome: Agnes Martin, Mark Rothko and Gerhard Richter.
Contemporary, expressionistic, abstract, exploratory,
and/or experimental entries encouraged
