This juried exhibition invites artists to explore the diverse world of figures, whether human, animal, or imagined. Submissions may range from realistic portrayals to abstract or conceptual interpretations, allowing for a broad artistic expression of the theme. We welcome all mediums—whether traditional, sculptural, or mixed media—as long as the artwork reflects the central theme of ‘Figurative.’ Let your creativity take the lead as you bring to life the essence of figures in unique and compelling ways. CVAC will be accepting submissions on:
Submission Fees: CVAC Members: $30 for up to 2 entries, Non-CVAC Members: $35 for up to 2 entries
This juried exhibition, displayed March 4 – April 17, 2025, invites artists to showcase their talent, with a juror selecting the works for display and determining the top submissions. Prizes will be awarded to the top three artists, with First Place receiving $100, Second Place $75, and Third Place $50. Up to three honorable mentions will also be recognized for their outstanding work. Additionally, visitors will have the chance to participate in a People’s Choice vote, with the winner announced during the artist reception. This exhibition celebrates a wide range of artistic mediums, highlighting the creativity and diversity of our members and the broader art community. “We’re eager to see the incredible work that both our members and local artists will bring to this event,” says Danielle Dieterich, Executive Director of CVAC.
