Compete 2025 PaperWorks Show: Made in America
Opportunity Description
U.S. National Deadline: May 25, 2025 – Lyndon B. Johnson once said: “Art is a nation’s most precious heritage. For it is in our works of art that we reveal to ourselves and to others the inner vision which guides us as a nation.” Our country has experienced serious changes during the last several months. Has the character of our nation changed or is everything new just a reflection of our past? Upstream Gallery is inviting artists to use their insight to provide answers to the above question and submit works on or made from paper that engage with the state of our nation and world today. Representational and abstract styles are both welcomed. Drawing, painting, printmaking, collage and sculpture are all welcome for this juried show.

About:
Upstream Gallery was founded in 1991 by artists who came of age in New York during the 50’s and 60’s. The gallery continues a long tradition of artists presenting their own work, from the independent Impressionist salons and exhibitions of 19th century France to the artist-run galleries of mid-century Manhattan. Our founding artists created a vibrant gathering place where community comes together, celebrating art in many forms.
