Webster University Photo Program Happenings: Call for Work: Deadline 20-29 November 2015

Call for Monochromatic Artwork aims to focus on more than one type of"values"
Not everything is as simple as black and white. There's the gray scale in between. Or in this case, Monochrome of any color. Framations Art Gallery, located on Historic Main Street in St. Charles, returns to a familiar theme in a new exhibit this winter. "Monochrome II" will focus on artwork that is at least primarily monochromatic, featuring values of any color. Though the theme applies to the imagery, it can be any subject matter that the artist chooses. This exhibit is open to work in all 2D and 3D mediums. The exhibit will be on display November 27, 2015 - January 7, 2016. Entries are due to November 20 and 21 from 10-6 and on November 29 from 12-5 pm. Artists can enter up to four pieces with an entry fee of $8 per piece.

Framations periodically host exhibits, termed their "Art and Awareness Series", that incorporate awareness in areas that affect our community. In this exhibit, they are focusing on values, meaning the shades of a color used in artwork. Another meaning of the word “values” refers to your principles or standards. Some would say the value of a person’s character can be judged by how you treat those around you. Thanks to assistance from St. Louis Area Foodbank, Framations offers their customers an opportunity to help those whose basic needs require the help and kindness of their community.

Each week, an estimated 57,100 people rely upon the St. Louis Area Foodbank for food assistance. In 2009, the Foodbank distributed over 22 million pounds of food. The numbers are incredible. With tough
economic times and the upcoming holidays, simply having adequate meals for yourself and your family means a lot. If you feel so moved, you are encouraged to bring your unopened, non-perishable food items and toiletries to Framations Nov 20 – Jan 7. Donating items for the food drive will earn artists a discount on their entry fee, and will also earn customers a 15% discount off their total purchase.

This exhibit is open to work in all 2D and 3D mediums. The exhibit will be on display November 27, 2015 - January 7, 2016. Entries are due to November 20 and 21 from 10-6 and on November 29 from 12-5 pm. Artists can enter up to four pieces with an entry fee of $8 per piece, or $6 with items for the food drive. The Juror for this exhibit will be Robert Langnas, an artist, juror, lecturer, and full time faculty member of the nationally-accredited art department at St. Louis Community College's Florissant Vallery Campus.
