Food is at the center of many of life’s most important events. When we gather together for a meal, the dishes we share often tell a story—and we share a bit of ourselves. Still lifes, genre scenes, cartoons, photographs, and sculpture may illustrate both the serious and the humorous sides of food as a symbol of cultural identities, celebrations and expressions of comfort, memories and joy. We invite artists to explore and celebrate “All Things Edible”.
All entries are accepted. This show is juried for prizes only.
Member Pricing -1 Entry: $20.00 Each Additional Entry: $5.00 Maximum 3

Theme: The Shape of Things | Juror: Ross Anderson
The rhythm of surfaces, lines, and values is for me the essence of photography; composition should be a constant of preoccupation... an organic coordination of visual elements. – Henri Cartier-Bresson
The term composition means ‘putting together’ or the act of combining parts or elements to form a whole - often adhering to compositional principles that make a work of photographic art more appealing or intriguing to viewers. These principles include the development of rhythm, movement, contrast, balance, unity, proximity, and continuity to create expressive and compelling compositions – while emphasizing different visual concepts.
Praxis Gallery seeks the submission of works of art that explore composition as a fundamental aspect of the photographic aesthetic – be it pure visual formalism or in support of thematic objectives. All genres, capture types, black & white and color, traditional and non-traditional photographic and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.

Main Juror:
Maria Haag grew up between North Dakota and Kansas, and currently lives in Dallas, Texas. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas and her Master of Fine Arts degree in drawing and painting from the University of North Texas. She received the Charles and Margaret Pollack art purchase award from the Mulvane Museum in Topeka, Kansas, and in 2017, 2018, and 2019 she participated in Dallas in Prizzi, a community inspired mural project in Prizzi, Sicily. She has participated in group shows at the New Orleans Contemporary Art Center, Project Gallery V in New York, Austin College in Sherman, TX, Art Center of the Bluegrass in Danville, KY, and Kansas City Artists Coalition, among others. Solo exhibitions include the Cora Stafford Gallery in Denton, TX, Arts Fort Worth in Fort Worth, TX, and Pencil on Paper Gallery in Dallas, TX. Every day, she feels caught in a cycle of destruction and transformation and translates that sensation into her work. She captures bodies hovering between decay and transformation, broken images whirling through a maelstrom of memory. The physical surfaces she creates mirror the transitions of physical and spiritual bodies. Their fragility is reflected in physically and digitally broken objects, crusted with layers of paint, charcoal, and collage.

Plein Air painting dates back to the French impressionists who left their studios to paint “in the open air.” Plein Air painting is exhilarating and challenging for artists who attempt to quickly capture the light and colors of the scene before them. The French term "plein air" means out of doors and refers to the practice of painting entire finished pieces out of doors rather than in a studio.
There will be a welcome reception for artisits as well as a final reception open to the public during which wet paint competition art pieces will also be sold. Awards presentation for the overall three-day artwork and for wet paint competition will take place during the final reception on 4/27. Each day completed Plein Air artwork will be exhibited at The Grove at the Commons and will be available for purchase. All artwork completed during this competition must be for sale and cannot leave with collector or artists until end of evening public awards reception 4/27/24.

The fine art nude has been a celebrated subject of photography since the beginning and played an important role in establishing photography as a fine art medium. Early on, both in history and most photographers experience, the nude has been featured in a classical pose and setting, maturing to illustrating the human body as a sculptural abstraction, and with some pushing boundaries.
Analog and digital manipulation in all its forms welcome. Monochrome or color, all subjects, analog, digital or antique processes, photographers of all skill levels and locations where legal are welcome.
Our juror for The Nude is Zoe Wiseman. Wiseman has been involved with photography as a model since 1974 and as a photographer since 2001. Zoe has a passion for fine art and portraiture.
Zoe has been published in several magazines, movie soundtracks, newspapers and books as both model and photographer. Sometimes both modeling and photography in the same publication. Her photography and modeling work is collected worldwide.
Since 1998 Wiseman has run websites promoting the art of photographers from all over the world. She has held yearly festivals since 2002 inviting models and photographers to gather for a week to immerse themselves in a nurturing atmosphere. They have traveled far and wide to attend, from Australia, Ireland, Germany, England and several states within the U.S.A. More may be read about these artist retreats at ZoeFest.photo
35-40 Selected images will hang in the SE Center’s main gallery space for approximately one month with the opportunity to be invited for a solo show at a later date. In addition, selected images are featured in the SE Center social media accounts (FB, IG, Twitter) and an archived, online slide show. A video walkthrough of each exhibition is also featured and archived. Openings are timed to coincide with Greenville, South Carolina's First Fridays, a celebration of art, food and music.
Open to artists worldwide, the competition accepts works in illustration, photography, or digital painting. Art must be created with human intervention, using AI as a tool, not the sole creator. Copyrighted material is not permitted without permission.
By including AI-aided photography, the award acknowledges and celebrates the diverse range of artistic expressions that exist today. It sends a message that all forms of art, whether traditional or technologically aided, have value and deserve recognition.
This award not only honors the achievements of those who blend AI with photography but also plays a crucial role in shaping the future of art, where technology and tradition coexist harmoniously.
Exhibition and Display: Winners and selected artworks will be showcased in FotoNostrum and potentially other venues or online galleries, emphasizing the blend of human and AI creativity.
Recognition and Awards: Winners in each category (photography, illustration, and digital painting) receive a $500 cash prize, with recognition given for effectively merging human creativity with AI enhancement.
It’s all about the light! Light and shadow have been the foundation of photography since the beginning. While illumination is important, darkness is an equally compelling component and, together, the elements of a successful photograph. Show us your best light!
Analog and digital manipulation in all its forms welcome. Monochrome or color, all subjects, analog, digital or antique processes, photographers of all skill levels and locations are welcome.

DECAY, CORROSION, RUST...
“And behind door number 2 – a brand new…….”
US television prizes – all about the “new”. Though we often focus on the new and shiny there is amazing beauty in the decayed, the corroded, the rusted and it can make images of those items so much more compelling and interesting.
Consider the textures and colors in an abandoned, dilapidated factory or prison, the rust on an old bike, contrasting plaster and lathing on a corroded wall and the myriad of possible captures in a junkyard. Neighborhoods, disparagingly called "run down", are treasure troves of "decayed" tumble down houses, "corroded" discarded toys, "rusted" cars, trash cans and so on.
Decay, Corrosion, Rust.... can take many forms; black and white, color, abstract - all photographic media are welcome.
As with all NYC4PA calls, all 2D photographic art is accepted. Note – Images awarded an NYC4PA prize within the past 2 years are not eligible. Images submitted that were not selected for a prize may be submitted at any time.

Street photography is a unique art form associated with a photographer's skill in capturing a moment that would have gone unseen without their intervention. A street photographer thrives in a time and place where the mundane transforms into the extraordinary, with their surroundings serving as a canvas for artistic expression. Whether it's capturing the energy of bustling streets or the quiet solitude of hidden alleyways, we invite you to share your vision of the human condition with us. All forms of two-dimensional images, traditional and non-conventional media, and conventional or alternative processes with a subjective analog or digital photographic base are welcome for submission.
The Beauty in Madness | Curators: Praxis Directors
Madness (mental illness) is something that frightens and fascinates us all. It is a word with which we are universally familiar yet haunts the human imagination.
Through centuries, in poetry, prose, drama, and the visual arts, “madness" has been on display for all to see.
With devastating effect, mental illness can disturb our commonsense assumptions; create unbearable disruptions in the routine of daily living; and turn our experience and our expectations upside down. And yet, it is this upside-down world view that opens a universe of unique and inventive perspectives oblivious to those from free from disruptions of the mind. (think Vincent van Gogh, Edvard Munch, Frida Kahlo, Virginia Woolf and Edgar Allan Poe)
Praxis Gallery seeks work that explores ideas linked to mental health, be it conflict or humor, fiction or fact, or any other literal or ephemeral lens-based investigation. We welcome photographic art that questions conventional assumptions about mental health or celebrates the unique perspective only visible to those who can see the "beauty in madness”. All genres, capture types, black & white and color, traditional and non-traditional photographic and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.

What is digital art: The digital artist uses pixels rather than paint. Pixels can be captured from DSLs to mobile devices. The artist develops images on computers, mobile phones and tablets to express their creative vision. Many styles of editing are accessible to the artist including digital drawing, digital painting, digital collage with photographs or experimental abstract design or apps. Digital Art is progressive!
All work should be of the artist’s own creation. Digital painting, digital collage and digital photographic work can use AI images as a component, but not solely as the created work. Editing software or apps that use components which are not generated by the artist, use of components of an image that are potentially recognizable by the original artist, or any use of word generated AI must be disclosed despite ownership or copyright agreements.
All artwork must be created within the past three years.
The jury may accept a maximum of two works from any one artist. Payment is non-refundable and does not guarantee acceptance.
Artist notification by email and posted on our website on May 10, 2024. All those who submitted jpegs will be emailed. If you do not receive an email by May 10th, contact manager@capecodartcenter.org. Check your junk and promotion email folders.

Portals is one of our favorite themes. It allows for so much creativity capturing things that are all around wherever we may be.
Doors and windows and arches and frames and tunnels are so much a part of our lives. There are so many ways to think about them. We can look at them, or through them. We can poke our hand out the window to test the weather, or just see a wonderful scene a little differently when framed by an arch or array of tree limbs in a park.
For this call your images can focus on the "portal" itself like a half closed door, a wonderful windowsill or the view through an archway to the other side. Does it frame the main subject of the photograph or does it add another dimension, such as the distortions of old glass or reflections in windowpanes.
Once again, we invite you to be creative and have fun in the process.
As with all calls, all 2D photographic art is accepted. Note – Images awarded an NYC4PA prize within the past 2 years are not eligible. Images submitted that were not selected for a prize may be submitted at any time.

Plein Aire in Jamestown by Joanna Dole, 2023 Award of Merit
The Rocky Neck Art Colony (RNAC) invites artists to submit work for inclusion in What’s So Funny? an open juried exhibition at the Cultural Center and online at RNACexhibitions.com.
Humor in art serves many purposes, as a light moment in dark times, as a commentary to illuminate or challenge, or simply as a small treat, a bit of candy. It appears throughout art history in various periods and styles: in the mischievous work of Duchamp and Oldenburg; the dark satires of Goya and Grosz; the clever spotlight on everyday life of Breughel and Saul Steinberg; the biting expressionism of Robert Colescott; the laugh-out-loud body parts series of John Baldessari; and in the gentle, unpretentious self-portraits of Milton Avery.
RNAC is inviting artists to submit work (in all mediums)which embodies elements of humor. It may be reflected in the style, subject matter, mood, materials, method of execution or in whatever way the artist chooses. The work will be judged on its capacity to provoke thought, introduce commentary, and, not least, to amuse! Let’s make ‘em think, giggle, guffaw, and blush!

Abandoned is an exhibition exploring abandoned and rediscovered objects, spaces, and structures. A popular genre in the photographic world is the trend of urban exploration ("urbex") — the exploration of abandoned or forgotten places to document the narrative of those who lived or worked there. Through the captured image, we can glimpse the ephemeral nature and memory of ourselves and our surroundings and preserve them before being lost to time and place. What do these structures and objects convey about society as we leave them to decay? What is the essence of time and place, and what-or whom-are we abandoning?
Abandoned is an international open call for photographers ages 18 and older. All forms of two-dimensional images, traditional and non-conventional media, and conventional or alternative processes with a subjective analog or digital photographic base are welcome for submission.
Cape Cod Art Center seeks submissions for “WABI-SABI 2024". Photographers of any level are invited to submit to this open juried online photography exhibit.
Wabi-Sabi is the Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfections of nature and of accepting the natural cycle of growth and decay. As artists we often seek items that are "perfect", with no blemishes or defects. Wabi Sabi teaches us to find beauty in everyday life, to revere things that are imperfect, impermanent, and/or incomplete, to embrace crows feet, rust, and frayed edges, and "to celebrate the cracks and crevices and all the other marks that time, weather, and loving use leave behind.”
Any interpretation of the theme will be considered. Cash prizes awarded for Best in Show, First Place, Second Place and Honorable Mention.
Submit your JPEG's by Sunday, July 14, 2024 by midnight.
Lisa Cuchara will be judging this exhibit. There is no personal feedback given by juror.

SHOW DESCRIPTION: – Plein air painting is about leaving the four walls of your studio behind and experiencing painting and drawing in the landscape. The practice goes back for centuries but was truly made into an art form by the French Impressionists. Their desire to paint light and its changing, ephemeral qualities, coupled with the creation of transportable paint tubes and the box easel—the precursor to the plein air easels of today—allowed artists the freedom to paint “en plein air,” which is the French expression for “in the open air.”

What is digital art: The digital artist uses pixels rather than paint. Pixels can be captured from DSLs to mobile devices. The artist develops images on computers, mobile phones and tablets to express their creative vision. Many styles of editing are accessible to the artist including digital drawing, digital painting, digital collage with photographs or experimental abstract design or apps. Digital Art is progressive!
All work should be of the artist’s own creation. Digital painting, digital collage and digital photographic work can use AI images as a component, but not solely as the created work. Editing software or apps that use components which are not generated by the artist, use of components of an image that are potentially recognizable by the original artist, or any use of word generated AI must be disclosed despite ownership or copyright agreements.
All artwork must be created within the past three years.
The jury may accept a maximum of two works from any one artist. Payment is non-refundable and does not guarantee acceptance.
