The Gallery at Graphite Arts Center (Edmonds, WA) is seeking artwork for the upcoming exhibition ‘Teen Open Call’
About the exhibit
Today’s youth are creative and talented and we want to celebrate their voices. Teen Open Call is a non-theme specific art exhibit designed to give area teens a voice through creative expression. Teen Open Call celebrates the artistic abilities of young artists (ages 13-19) in our community by showcasing youth art in a professional gallery setting at Graphite Arts Center for a 7 week exhibition. Graphite is seeking original, high quality, finished works by teen artists that display artistic talent, and skill with the use of chosen material.
Entry and acceptance to Teen Open Call provides opportunities not only for public display of artwork, but also public recognition beyond the school community. For most teens this will be the first opportunity to show in a gallery space outside of school. Mention of artwork exhibited in a public gallery may strengthen college applications and increase opportunities for scholarships.
This is a juried, group show with rules for submission, standards for acceptance and a small entry fee. Two-dimensional art must be framed for exhibition. All interested teens are encouraged to apply
