Notification: September 29, 2021
Exhibition October 1 to 31, 2021​

For this online exhibition, we challenge artists to explore the concept of memory and time. As this is an online exhibition, any and all media is acceptable.

The notion of time, the concept of memory with the idea of perception; the works for this exhibition should explore the subject of recollection. 

Time has many meanings, as it relates to age. As youngsters, we have illusions that time moves unhurriedly.  As we grow, it appears to progress more quickly, until we reach a point where time appears to be slipping away from us. 

Note: All artists who submit to this show will be accepted and have at least  one of their submitted works posted and promoted on our website and to our client list.

The City of Santa Clarita Arts and Events division (City) is seeking five artists to design and display artwork on five 60-inches by 60-inches canvases, totaling a 5-feet by 20-feet display. Each selected artist will be provided by the City with one (1) blank canvas, artists must use the provided canvas. The display will be featured above the Valencia Library Children’s area for a year starting in February 2022 – February 2023. We are seeking art proposals revolving around the theme of woodland nature scenes. We are asking for past and previous work, as well as a written or sketched proposal for this project. Each artist will be awarded a $250 stipend (the canvas is provided by the City, and the piece will be given back to the artist at the end of the exhibit).
