Landmark: Iconic American Views Art Exhibition (Solomons, MD) – Call For Artists

[Sponsored Listing] Annmarie Sculpture Garden and Arts Center announces a call for artists to submit original artwork for the Landmark: Iconic American Views Art exhibition.

This exhibition celebrates the places and scenes that define the American landscape. These places can be manufactured, natural, monumental, or ordinary. From sweeping national parks and historic architecture to roadside attractions, coastal horizons, small-town main streets, and urban skylines, this show explores how artists interpret the views that shape our shared visual identity.

Artists are encouraged to depict recognizable landmarks as well as personal perspectives on what makes a place iconic. Whether capturing the grandeur of natural vistas, the character of regional architecture, or the quiet familiarity of a beloved local scene, submitted works should highlight the power of place in the American experience.
