Call for Entry: Portraits

The Deep Valley Arts Collective invites artists to submit artwork for their upcoming “Portraits” exhibition at MEDIUM Art Gallery, which will be displayed in June.

“Portraits” explores how artists interpret and capture individuals’ essence, stories, emotions, and identities. Portraits uniquely communicate a universal language transcending time and space, resonating with viewers across cultures and backgrounds. They aim to create an exhibition celebrating the human face’s power to convey stories, evoke emotions, and forge connections. All mediums will be considered.

Pieces chosen for in-person display at Medium Art Gallery in Ukiah can be listed for sale with no commission fee.

There is no entry fee and a limit of three entries per artist.
Work must be framed or mounted and hang-ready.*
The deadline for entries is Sunday, May 26th, 2024, 11:59 PM PST.
Opening reception: Friday, June 7th, 2024, 5:00-8:00 PM PST.
The show runs through Saturday, June 29, 2024.

*Work should be framed or mounted with appropriate hardware for hanging or ready to display on a pedestal. For questions about getting work “hang-ready,” email us at info@deepvalleyarts.org.
