Compete MFA Call for Artists: Off the Wall
Opportunity Description
International Deadline: May 8, 2024 – MFA (Maryland Federation of Art) invites all artists to enter its 3-D free-standing Off the Wall exhibition.
For this exhibition, we ask that artists compile and upload their in-progress sketches/photographs or anything that will aid the viewer in understanding the production of your work. You will be able to add these to the images of your finished work when applying for the call. If these are not a part of your creative process you will also be able to upload a brief description of what went into your creative process when producing the work. These are by no means necessary and will not affect the jurying process but if your work is selected then your description/production notes will be displayed alongside your finished work. We hope this will create a more robust exhibition and add interesting visual facets to the exhibition as a whole.
Selected works will be displayed in this MFA organized exhibition at Maryland Hall’s Earl Gallery in Annapolis, MD from July 12 – August 15,

About:
The MFA incorporated as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in 1968 and, through the hard work of a growing and enthusiastic membership, opened the Circle Gallery located at 18 State Circle, just steps away from the State House in Annapolis. The gallery is located in a restored loft space in the heart of the Annapolis Historic District and has been operating continuously since opening its doors. The MFA has also reached out beyond its doors through its Alternate Space efforts, often bringing art to unexpected places.
