To submit
Call to artist for submissions to our 13th annual Contemporary Figurative Art Show. This call is to any and all artist that have created or do create, artwork of any medium that is somehow based or influenced by the figurative form.
In Recent years there has been an increase in the creation and acceptance of figurative art and that includes, promisingly, the acceptance of such work in the high-end market. But why do artist and collectors like art of the Human Form? Simply put it is because art is a means of communicating human experiences, therefore human bodies are naturally depicted. The figurative form can be used as the ideal medium to convey a spectrum of ideas with which the viewer can resonate. The human figure has always been a common subject of visual art, "it forces the viewer to engage the artwork and enables the artist to express an entire range of ideas from the subtle to the intense". In the history of art the human figure bears, in different ways and through different periods in time, a huge significance, being the most direct means by which art can address the human condition.
The Hilliard Gallery in the Crossroads Art District in Kansas City, Mo., is seeking submissions for consideration for inclusion in the Gallery's Thirteenth Annual Contemporary Figurative Art Show. This call is open to all mediums and creative styles of artwork. The show will open on the First Friday, April 3rd and runs through May 25th, 2020. The show will have a sponsored Best of Show Award as well as a couple of other awards that will established from the collection of the small submission fee through CaFE.
