RENEWAL
Winter 2027 Juried Exhibition
Juror: Orly Cogan
Blue Mountain Gallery, located in the heart of New York City's Chelsea art district, invites artists working in two- and three-dimensional media to submit work for its 19th juried exhibition. The gallery is pleased to have Orly Cogan, a leading voice in contemporary fiber art for more than two decades, as the juror for this year's exhibition.
Juror: Orly Cogan
Educated at The Cooper Union and Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), Cogan is an internationally exhibited contemporary artist whose work has been shown at The Museum of Arts and Design and The Jewish Museum in New York, as well as institutions throughout the United States and Europe, including The Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, the Hudson River Museum, Museum Rijswijk in the Netherlands, and The Musée International des Arts Modestes in Sète, France. She is represented by Robert Mann Gallery in New York City for her photo-fiber work and by Tracey Morgan Gallery in Asheville, NC, for her mixed-media work. Her work is held in the permanent collections of the Museum of Arts and Design and MIT and has been featured in publications including The New York Times, Artforum, Art in America, and Art News.
Theme: Renewal
RENEWAL is the theme of this New Year's guest-juried group exhibition:
A theme of new beginnings, transformation, and the possibility of change. Consider what renewal might look like: shedding an old skin, a new season, a repaired or reinvented object, a fresh perspective, or a moment of personal awakening. Works might explore ideas of growth, resilience, reinvention, healing, emergence, or simply the feeling of turning a page and starting anew.
All juried exhibitions are accompanied by a fully illustrated catalog and promoted to collectors, critics, media, artists, and art lovers through the gallery's website, social media, press releases, and major art listings. Over its 45-year history, Blue Mountain Gallery exhibitions have been reviewed in Art in America, The New York Times, The New Republic, and Hyperallergic, among other leading publications.
Media
Painting, drawing, printmaking, collage, mixed media, photography, and sculpture are welcome. Digital art, giclées, and other reproductions are not accepted. Artists from around the world are encouraged to apply.
Fee
The entry fee is $45 for 1–3 images, plus $6 per additional image up to 10. All work will be for sale unless otherwise stated, with 100% of proceeds going to the artist.
