Contemporary Figures: A National Juried Exhibition

Opportunity Summary

LHUCA, The Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts is proud to announce the call for contemporary figure artworks. Ways of understanding the body and bodily relationships to the environment, society, and technology continue to be a central topic for artistic exploration. Scientific advances have made us more aware of the composition and processes of the human body while also blurring the boundaries between the human body and the nonhuman. The body is intimately tied to identity and the way that we move in space and in relation to others. We welcome submissions of figurative works that address a variety of themes and present the human body in unique ways.
