Compete 7th Annual Crow Show

The Studio Door San Diego, California, United States

Opportunity Description

U.S. National Deadline: March 1, 2021 – THE CROW SHOW 2021 is the seventh national annual exhibition of visual arts running from April 3 – 24, 2021 produced by The Studio Door.

Lucky number seven. This exhibition is our most popular visual arts exhibit bringing artists from across the nation to celebrate the Crow. Having taken on mythological importance, Crows appear in all parts of the world. In folklore, they may foreshadow tragedy or usher in good news. The reality is a highly intelligent bird capable of social interactions. In recent years, the crow has become a muse to many artists.

This annual exhibition seeks to represent the many faces of the Crow in reality and fantasy. Show us what the Crow means to you [Creative interpretations of all black birds, ravens and other Corvus species are acceptable].

ELIGIBILITY
THE CROW SHOW is conceived as a national show (USA). Due to the costs of shipping and potential customs issues, International artists are welcome to participate exclusively in the online portion of the exhibition.

CATEGORIES ACCEPTED
Fine Art: Painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, assemblage, collage, mixed media, fiber art, artist book, ceramics, stoneware, stain glass and sculpture.  Oversized jewelry that can be defined as fine art is acceptable for this show.

This exhibition does not accept small jewelry, video, film, performance art, installation and works requiring an external electrical source.

Submissions must be the artist’s original work.

JUROR
Andrew Utt, Executive Director of Lux Art Institute – Encinitas, California
