O’Hanlon Center invites you to submit work for our Online show:

16th annual Women Artists Making Their Mark: An ONLINE Exhibition.

Co-Juried by Donna Seager of Seager Gray Gallery
and Priscilla Otani of Arc Gallery. 

Both Jurors will be given the same maximum number of works to select. All works independently selected by each juror will be included in the exhibition.

Online show dates: July 23 to Oct 1, 2024

Zoom Roundtable with Jurors Tuesday, July 30 at 4 pm Pacific Time

Continuing our annual show devoted to women artists, O’Hanlon Center for the Arts is committed to bringing more gender equity to the world of art. This 16th year we extend our reach around the globe to artists who identify as female and encourage them to submit to this popular ONLINE show.  

The art must be created by a person who identifies as female but the work DOES NOT need to reference or allude to images of women or women's issues.  It is certainly OK if they do!

Our curation and presentation of the selected work are exceptional. We promote the artists through social media, print media and email outreach.  We create a quality printable catalog of the show and the online shows are archived but accessible after the close of the show. Visit our website to see examples of other online shows: https://www.ohanloncenter.org/exhibits/current/

We have a new co-juror this year and a lower submission fee.

O’Hanlon Center for the Arts emphasizes the creative process and the continued pursuit of meaning and authenticity through observation, exploration, and experimentation.

Each artist may submit up to 3 individual pieces of artwork for consideration for this juried show. All media welcome except video. YES photography, fiber, sculpture, digital etc. Diptychs and Triptychs are considered 1 piece of work. Diptychs and Triptychs must be submitted as one image.
