Framations Art Gallery would like to challenge artists to consider what moves them to action. Most of us have read the book. The Lorax is an icon in children's literature, but also beyond. The storyline discusses such heady topics as greed, consumerism and conserving the environment. One memorable quote from the text is "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not."

We may not all be environmentalists, but many of us have a cause we believe firmly in. Perhaps we focus our attention on equal rights, or racial or cultural divides. We are all touched by different issues based on our life experiences. These are the things that affect us personally and affect our daily lives and our own personal attempts to achieve the American Dream. For our exhibit, Unless, we ask artists to share their voice, take a stand, develop their thought process, and delve into a conversation. What strikes you as a motivation factor that you want your society to notice. Be it complex or simple. Artist statements are encouraged. 

"Unless" will be on display from May 28 - July 8 at Framations Art Gallery in St. Charles. Walk-in entries are due to the gallery May 18 - 22. Artists may print and fill out the entry form in advance or fill it out at the gallery. Visit Framations.com and follow the information on the homepage for Calls for Entry. Artists may submit up to four works for a non-refundable entry fee of $8.00 per piece. Please note the gallery has made changes to their entry process, including offering 5 days for entries to allow for social distancing and more time to space out walk-in entries. 

The juror for this exhibit will be Dail Chambers, a visual artist and creative consultant. Her visual art practice is a multimedia exploration in genealogy, women’s narratives and social art. She has received numerous awards and fellowships through out the United States. As a homeschooling, teaching artist she has traveled internationally, implementing lesson plans to enhance and motivate inter-generational learning environments. Dail earned her AFA in Photography from Saint Louis Community College. She later earned her BFA with Concentration in Ceramics, minor Art History, from Memphis College of Art and her Postgraduate Studies in Women's Studies were through University Missouri, Saint Louis.

Artists are asked to read the full entry details before bringing artwork to the gallery. The entry details and entry form can be found on www.framations.com. 

Framations is located at 218 North Main Street in St. Charles, MO. Framations is open Tuesday - Saturday 10-6. For more information visit the website at www.framations.com or call the gallery at 636-724-8313.

 Framations Art Gallery invites artists to delve into spring with an examination of the times in both figurative and literal ways. A new exhibition themed "Ruin & Revival II" is an all-media juried exhibition of work exploring the concepts of ruin and revival, including spring, rebirth, destruction, and decay. 

As we approach each spring, there is always the thought of how volatile the season may be any given year. Spring brings thoughts of new life, beauty, and reemergence after the cold and bleakness that signifies winter. But when we see the new life coming forth with spring, we can also train the eye to notice the things that do not come alive again. While we look for what is new, we often notice also the decay and ruin left by winter or in other ways, the destruction of time. Or perhaps a commentary on our times living during a pandemic. So much to consider. Artists are encouraged to interpret this theme. 

"Ruin & Revival II" will be on display from April 16 - May 20 at Framations Art Gallery in St. Charles. Walk-in entries are due to the gallery April 6 - 10. Artists may print and fill out the entry form in advance or fill it out at the gallery. Visit Framations.com and follow the information on the homepage for Calls for Entry. Artists may submit up to four works for a non-refundable entry fee of $8.00 per piece. Please note the gallery has made changes to their entry process, including offering 5 days for entries to allow for social distancing and more time to space out walk-in entries.

 The juror for this exhibit will be Ryan Horvath. 

Artists are asked to read the full entry details before bringing artwork to the gallery. The entry details and entry form can be found on www.framations.com.

Framations is located at 218 North Main Street in St. Charles, MO. Framations is open Tuesday - Saturday 10-6. For more information visit the website at www.framations.com or call the gallery at 636-724-8313.
