HOME V.2: Homeland Art Exhibition (Decatur, GA) – Call For Artists

[Sponsored Listing] Decatur Arts Alliance announces a call for artists for the Home V.2: Homeland art exhibition, to be held May 29 – July 18, 2026.

Professional and student artists of all mediums are invited to submit up to 3 artworks for consideration. $20 application fee waived for students.

Enter by: 29 March 2029

The theme for 2026 is “Homeland.” A person’s or a people’s native land, Decatur Arts Alliance looks to explore “homeland” as a geographical point of origin and a state of being. Works should express cultural and ethnic elements. Elucidate the view of “home” from the immigrant to the expatriate, and the displaced to the indigenous. How do we find “home” when we are away from the land of our forebears? What do newly arrived people do to preserve their culture and heritage? How do we honor and acknowledge the indigenous inhabitants of the lands upon which we all now live?

The Home Exhibition is a juried multimedia showcase presented by the Decatur Arts Alliance in collaboration with the Decatur Land Trust and the Decatur branch of the Dekalb County Public Library. The exhibition will be shown in the Fourth Floor Gallery of the Decatur Library in Decatur, Georgia, home to the Georgia Center for the Book. The show will run May 29 – July 17, 2026, with an opening reception on Friday, May 29 from 6:30-9pm.

HOME V.2: Homeland Gallery Awards

  • Best of Show: $1,000
  • First Place Award: $700
  • Second Place Award: $500
  • Student Award: $500

Occasionally, the City of Decatur and other local institutions select artwork to be purchased as part of their collections. All purchases and awards will be publicly announced on the exhibition website. Each institution has its own procurement procedures, so payment may take longer to process for institutional purchases. While the Decatur Arts Alliance works to ensure timely payment to artists, funds disbursements from outside institutions are not within the organization’s control and may result in delays.

Rhythm: Movement in Art Exhibition (Solomons, MD) – Call For Artists

Rhythm: Movement in Art Exhibition (Solomons, MD) – Call For Artists

[Side Arts Certified Sponsored Listing] Annmarie Sculpture Garden and Arts Center announces a call for artists to submit original artwork to the Rhythm: Movement In Art exhibition.

This exhibition will examine how artists capture, interpret, and evoke movement through visual rhythm. From the fluidity of gestures to the pulse of repeated forms, and from the suggestion of physical motion to the sensation of energetic flow, this exhibit celebrates artworks that embody momentum, dynamic flow, and cadence.

Kinetic sculpture and other motion-based works are encouraged, especially those that physically manifest the exhibition’s themes of rhythm and movement. Works may reference rhythm found in nature, the human body, architecture, sound, or purely abstract movement, but the central focus remains on how artists create the feeling of motion through visual means. Viewers will be encouraged to experience how visual art can reflect the beats, patterns, and motions that animate the world around us.
