Call for Artists

Posted: Nov 11, 2020

In celebration and in sympathy, “touch” is an expression of care and comfort. Strathmore welcomes artists to submit original artwork for Touch: The 30th Annual Strathmore Juried Exhibition. Artists may interpret touch as physical or emotional sensations. Touch may be a part of bonding—desire, comfort, or protection—or instrumental in communication—reaching, clasping, or propelling. Touch may include tactile textures we encounter with our fingertips, or senses we feel by degree, as with temperature and pressure. Touch is also an emotional sensation in moments that evoke a profound response, sometimes producing tears, goosebumps, or laughter. Artwork may be of any style and medium and may invite the viewer to actually touch the artwork. Artists from within the DMV region and beyond are encouraged to apply.
