CALL FOR ART – BITS AND PIECES: THE ART OF COLLAGE AND ASSEMBLAGE
CALL FOR ART – O’Hanlon Center for the Arts invites all collage artists to submit their work for the next in-person gallery show:
BITS AND PIECES:
THE ART OF COLLAGE AND ASSEMBLAGE
O’Hanlon Gallery Exhibition
June 3 – 26, 2025
Juried by Colin Talcroft
Postcard Image art by Ben Benet
DESCRIPTION
This exhibition seeks submissions of collage work. Collage is an art form in which individual elements — pieces of paper, fabric, photographs, found paper and the like — are assembled into new, autonomous artworks. Assemblage and sculpture with collage elements are also welcome. Both collage and assemblage fundamentally depend on bringing together two or more existing elements in a way that makes us consider these elements both in new ways as individual items and taken together as a new whole. So, gather your bits and pieces together and start glueing!
For inspiration, artists that are masters of collage include: Daniel Anselmi, Romare Bearden, Hannah Höch, Robert Rauschenberg, Man Ray, Robert Szot, and Kara Walker, among many others.

PAiD Artist Council Request for Qualifications (RFP)
This call for artists is for the PAiD Program Artist Council. The Artist Council is an eight-member group of artists selected to create temporary public artworks and to provide recommendations to help shape the future of Los Angeles County’s public art policy and processes.
The group of artists will participate in an 8 to 10-month long, two-part program of dialogue and art creation. Artists selected for this program will engage in a series of discussions around LA County Arts & Culture’s current public art, equity, and inclusion policies and procedures. The discussions will be led by the PAiD program art consultant, Dyson & Womack, and other arts and culture leaders and advocates. Through the course of these discussions, the Artist Council will develop a set of recommendations that seek to address historical barriers to participation and expand support for artists working in the field of public art.
In addition, each selected artist will create a temporary public art project. The projects may be objects, artist happenings, or performance-based and may amplify an important civic issue and further the artist’s professional goals. Artist Council members will develop their projects during the course of the program. They may elect to do projects individually or as part of a group with other Artist Council members. The Artist Council members will generate a final proposal that outlines the conceptual framework, proposed location, and type of project (event, performance, installation, sculpture, time-based media, etc.). Proposals will be submitted to LA County Arts & Culture for final approval. The Artist Council members will then work with Dyson & Womack to manage all aspects of their temporary artworks, including project planning and budgeting, design development, contracting, permitting, fabrication, and production or installation.
We seek artists from diverse backgrounds and across various career levels, including those historically underrepresented in the public art field, for the Artist Council. This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is a unique opportunity to participate in a transformative program focused on creating a more progressive landscape for artists in Los Angeles County.
BIPOC Surviving Predominantly White Institutions (PWI): A series of support for BIPOC who have survived and are surviving PWIs
artEquity provides tools, resources, and programming at the intersection of art and activism. With over 15,000 participants and a growing alumni community, artEquity is building a broad base of individuals and organizations who are creating and sustaining a culture of equity, inclusion, and justice through arts and culture.
As administrative powers push for the silencing of marginalized voices, we will double down on building our power through sustainable systems of self- and community-care. Our answer: Our FREE five-part community offering, Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) Surviving Predominantly White Institutions (PWI)!
Originally launched in the summer of 2020, the Black, Indigenous, People of Color Surviving Predominantly White Institutions Series is a multi-part series designed to share strategies for:
- interfacing with white leadership;
- what to do when sh*t goes down;
- how to cultivate BIPOC solidarity;
- how to create a sustainable system of self-care; and
- how to know when it’s time to go and create an exit strategy.
This space is for individuals who identify as People of Color, BIPOC, AAPI, MENASA, ALAANA, SWANA, Black/African American, Indigenous/Native, Latinx/Latine, or People of the Global Majority. Each session will cover different topics, and you are welcome to attend any or all of the sessions based on your own interests and availability.
BIPOC Surviving PWIs is free, but REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED to attend. Please register for the individual sessions you wish to join.
We are stronger when we work in community. Together, we can change art organizations to be more responsive to the social change the field needs.

The University of San Francisco’s newly endowed Ann Getty Institute of Art and Design is an interdisciplinary center of experiential learning and innovation in the arts. It champions visual and performing artists, designers and architects, writers and filmmakers, and arts and museum scholars as they hone their craft. The institute honors the legacy of renowned art collector Ann Getty, and is funded by her husband, San Francisco philanthropist Gordon Getty.

Travel to and from USF will also be covered. Studio/creative space available depending on specialty.
In alignment with Ann Getty’s life-long love of beauty and support of the arts — and the University mission to “create a more just and humane world” — we seek applicants whose work promotes conversation and understanding across our various arts disciplines (including visual, performing, literary, media arts as well as architecture, design, art history and museum studies) and whose interdisciplinary work fosters cura personalis, or care for the whole person, in the context of our current and changing world.

● A strong commitment to teaching and scholarship, experience and willingness to work in a culturally diverse environment and an understanding of and commitment to support the mission of the University.
