THEME- FORM 2024

In previous years, we have not released the theme of our upcoming show before our Call to Art opens. We wanted our artists to have a full range, so we kept it a secret. But, this year we have decided to share the theme of the 2024 show to spark inspiration. You do not have to submit art that follows the theme, though it is recommended. 

Form will explore the rich and diverse tapestry of the human body. Form seeks to celebrate the wondrous complexity, adaptability, and resilience of the human form, while also fostering a deeper understanding and love for the body as a vessel of the human experience.

Form invites artists to delve into the myriad dimensions of the human body. We encourage you to interpret this theme in your unique style, embracing its multifaceted aspects such as:

Celebration: Showcase the beauty and diversity of human bodies through your art. Highlight the uniqueness of every individual's form, emphasizing the inherent dignity in our physicality.

Love for the Body: Create pieces that convey a sense of self-acceptance, self-love, and empowerment. Explore the emotional connection between individuals and their bodies, depicting the beauty that can be found in self-acceptance.

Flexibility and Malleability: Dive into the concept of how our bodies adapt and transform throughout life. Explore the resilience of the human form and the journeys it undertakes, whether through growth, aging, or other life experiences.

We encourage artists to explore the artistic representation of the human form. Form is about celebrating and appreciating the beauty, contours, and expressions of the human body in its entirety.

LOGISTICS

THIS SECTION IS TO BE READ VERY CAREFULLY

All accepted works of art must be “GALLERY READY” when brought to the event facility (i.e. all hanging works must include an installed horizontal wire). Artists with work requiring a pedestal(s) MUST provide one (them) before show opening. Pedestal(s) must be white/black and tall enough for the work to be near eye level. Pedestal must be sturdy, and all parts must be connectable. This is to ensure the safety of your work. If work is not “gallery ready” or deemed unsafe for hanging, mounting or standing (whichever is applicable) risking possible damage to the event facility and/or the art itself, then the work will not be presented in the event during any of its dates. Artists with accepted MP3 or MP4 work, MUST provide a projector, screen, headphones, or any other technology or equipment necessary for patrons to view work. **If your work requires special handling, or has a unique hanging method or assembly please communicate this to the director so that proper planning and attention can be allocated (info@nudenite.com)
