This International Exhibition will be “Center Stage” at the Cape Cod Museum of Art opening unlimited interpretations to all visual artists! Explore the possibilities of expressing theater, dance and music through your artwork. 

Take inspiration from a specific performance or performer. Use kinetic artwork, embracing movement and time. A more politically focused artwork might depict or respond to today's world stage. Or, on a personal level, how does performance find its way into religious, familial, social and romantic life. 

What will you submit to All The World’s A Stage? The title for this exhibition was inspired by a well known passage in William Shakespeare's pastoral comedy As You Like It.  

Artists are invited to submit up to three works to be juried into this evocative exhibition taking place in our expansive Bank of America / Robert Douglas Hunter exhibition hall. We will also be making this exhibition available virtually on our CCMoA website.

Juror Bill Evaul will select three of the works to receive monetary awards: $500, $200 and $100.

Artwork selected for the exhibition can be made available to the public for sale, with 60% of the proceeds going directly to you - the artist, and 40% to the CCMoA. We provide this option in an effort to help support artists during demanding times, while also supporting the CCMoA. Your sales preference and pricing will not be visible to the juror during the selection process.

More about the Juror:
Bill Evaul has been a Provincetown artist since 1970. He produces oil paintings and white-line woodblock prints as well as works on paper: drawings, watercolors and monotypes and monoprints. He employs a vibrant color palette and a kind of figurative expressionism to create a wide variety of images including musicians, New York skylines, nudes, wine bottle still lifes and a lively fauvist/cubist series called "Dancing Houses." As an educator, curator and art consultant in the field of 20th Century Art, Evaul conducts art workshops in white-line wood cut printmaking, slide lectures on Provincetown Art History and organizes exhibitions.  In 2020 Bill Evaul had a one person exhibition at the Cape Cod Museum of Art titled Song and Dance.
