Compete Elemental: Earth, Fire, Water, Air
Opportunity Description
International Deadline: May 31, 2023 – What worldly elements do you resonate with? The foundations of our Earth? The intensity and light of flames? The calmness or raging tides of our seas? The freedom of taking flight into the endless sky? Early chemists believed Earth, fire, water, and air were the elements of life and reality, and when surrounded by them, it’s not hard to see why.
Maryland Federation of Art (MFA) invites artists to enter our Elemental: Earth, Fire, Water, Air exhibition.
Works selected by the juror will be on display in MFA’s online gallery, Curve Gallery, from August 15 – September 30, 2023. Exhibition Chairs: Richard Niewerth, Wil Scott.

All original 2D or 3D artwork involving any of the four elements, either by medium or subject, is eligible for Maryland Federation of Art’s (MFA) online show. Entry is open to all artists residing internationally.
