Call for Submissions

LIFE Doesn’t Stand STILL!

As we reflect on our ever-changing world,  the artists’ Network invites all members/non-members  to submit to our new group show:

“LIFE Doesn’t Stand STILL”!

The Still Life has a long history, going back to early Egyptian and Roman times, and was recognized as a respected art genre in the Netherlands in the 16th and 17th centuries. Although the definition alludes to being “without movement or life”, we challenge you to bring it into a modern context with your own interpretation.

Representational and abstracted ideas based on this theme, STILL LIFE AND INTERIORS, in any media, will be considered, including digital and photographic art. Up to 3 pieces can be submitted to the jury for review.
