Call for Submission: 37th Annual Juried Exhibition, ‘Chrysalis’
Scarborough Arts is back with our 37th Annual Juried Exhibition. Last year’s Annual Juried Exhibition “asked us as individuals and as community members to find new forms of resilience.” This year, Chrysalis is taking it one step further and asking you, as artists and community members, “what happens next?” What happens in these moments of resilience and transformation? How do we navigate the in-betweenness of transformation?" As these moments of change impact our relationships with our environment, others, ourselves, and even our perceptions of time, we ask you to explore liminality, weirdness, and even transmutation.
We're inviting visual artists, writers, and poets to submit works in painting, illustration, photography, sculpture, printmaking, video, installation, poetry, and short story that respond to the theme and title of Chrysalis. Scarborough artists showed up with a beautiful array of artworks spanning visual arts, photography, and writing that we are so excited to share with the community. This year's exhibition is juried by
Esmond Lee and Yolanda T. Marshall.
