Of This Earth: A Plein Air Exhibition

“Of This Earth” will be an exhibition dedicated to artwork created in plein air or ‘in the open air.’ The exhibition will highlight the various methods, as well as interpretations, utilized by artists to depict the American landscape. Although this creative pursuit stems from a time-honored practice established by the impressionists, the discipline continues to grow and innovate. The intent of this juried exhibition will be to showcase a wide range of approaches, as well as ideas that center around our connection to the environment around us.

All two-dimensional mediums are accepted except for photography.

As a note, this exhibition will coincide with a plein air paint out that will occur in downtown Kokomo on June 2nd. The work generated from the event will also have the opportunity to be included in the exhibition.

 

ELIGIBILITY:  This juried exhibition is open to artists over the age of 18 who reside within the United States. All work must be original and completed in the last two years. All work must be accurately represented in jpeg images. Work not meeting these criteria will not be exhibited.

PRESENTATION:  Professional presentation of each piece is required. 2D artwork must be framed and have a secure way to hang the piece if it requires hanging. For canvases, the sides and all staples must be covered.

ENTRY:  All entries must be made through the CAFÉ website.  All entries will be chosen from the images submitted through CAFÉ. Files not to exceed 5MB. The gallery reserves the right to reproduce images accepted into the show for promoting and archiving the exhibition.

SALES: Sales are encouraged and we will receive a 30% commission for any sold artwork. The sale of artwork will be between the artist and the purchaser.
