Call For Artwork focusing on the details of imagery

A new juried exhibit opportunity at Framations Art Gallery invites St. Louis artists to explore all things in detail. In an exhibit titled Focus on the Details II, artists are being asked to focus on the details of an image, perhaps zooming in on an area showing great detail or subject matter that has great detail overall. Perhaps they would like to focus on texture or the technique of macro photography.

Artists who are interested in participating are invited to deliver up to four entries to Framations the weekend of July 13 - 15. Framations is open 10-6 Friday and Saturday, and 12-5 on Sunday.

 Whether found or created, still life images may become quiet and powerful forms of personal expression. A compelling photographic still life will make us pause to look at what might have been considered mundane. For this exhibition, we seek images that represent subjects in new and interesting ways, and that perhaps push the limits of what we might consider "still life."  All methods of capture and processes are welcome.
 
We are very pleased that Kimberly Witham will be jurying and curating this exhibition. She will select approximately 35 images for exhibition in the gallery, and 35 for our Online Gallery Annex. The recipients of the Juror's Award and the Director's Award will each be entitled to a personal portfolio review by Ms. Witham.
