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.

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
