The Gallery at Graphite Arts Center (Edmonds, WA) is seeking artwork for the upcoming pop-up exhibition ‘Rainbow.’
About the Exhibit
June is the month of rainbow color (and love), and Graphite Arts Center is somewhere over the rainbow to present the pop-up exhibit Rainbow, June 6-28, 2025. For this prismatic show we are seeking distinctive interpretations of the emblematic, kaleidoscopic arc. We invite artists of all levels to play with the idea of refraction and light.
Unframed, works on paper only (drawings, paintings, prints, collage, photographs). Works should be on theme, i.e. “rainbow.” Minimum image size 6 x 6 inches. Maximum image size 20 inches wide. Maximum sheet (paper size) 24 inches wide. It is recommended, though not required, to have 2 inches of paper around all edges of the image. This pop-up exhibition will be shown in our art library space with works displayed on art panels.
This is a juried exhibit with rules for submission and standards/guidelines for acceptance. Not all submissions will necessarily be accepted. Submissions will be juried based on quality, presentation, adherence to instructions of the call and how well the work fits with the overall vision of the exhibit.
