Internet 6th Annual Light and Shadow 2023

Opportunity Description
International Deadline: October 11, 2023 –Where there’s light, there must be shadow. Whether an artist knows it or not, light and shadow are essential to all forms of art, either as the subject of the piece, or the material being used to create it. From the dramatic chiaroscuros of the European Renaissance to the interactive and immersive experiences of Mary Corse and Yayoi Kusama, light and shadow continuously fascinate artists. Pieces that play with this dynamic are eligible for Maryland Federation of Art’s 6th annual Light and Shadow exhibition.
Works selected by the juror will be on display in MFA’s online gallery, Curve Gallery, from December 15, 2023 – January 31, 2024. Exhibition Chairs: Richard Niewerth and Wil Scott.

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.
