Self Reflections
January 15 - February 26, 2021
Deadline to enter: November 26, 2020

The Foundry Art Centre in Saint Charles, Missouri is seeking submissions for “Self Reflections”
an exhibition asking all artists how artists reflect on themselves and create self portraits?
Whether it’s through abstract expression, photography, sculpture, or traditional portraiture, we
want to see how artists recognize themselves in their work and portray themselves to people
around them. Open to all mediums, this exhibition will feature works that explore the world of
portraiture in both classic and nontraditional forms. All two and three dimensional work will be
considered for this physical and virtual exhibition.

Awards:
Best in Show awarded a “Going Solo” Exhibition - worth $500
Two Juror’s Choice Awards - $150 cash prize each

Open to all artists, 18 years and older, world-wide, both amateur and professional. This includes
alternative and traditional artwork.
Questions about eligibility can be sent to exhibitions@foundryartcentre.org

Artists may submit up to 3 works for a non-refundable processing fee of $35. FAC members' fee
for up to three works is $24.
