Superstition: National Juried Illustration Exhibition

Eastern New Mexico University in Portales, NM announces a call to artists for a juried exhibition at Runnels Gallery, April 3-27, 2012. Social, cultural, political, gender, and sexual superstitions are deeply engrained into the lives of many people. The scope and belief of superstitions can be so powerful that they govern people's daily interactions, practices, and choices. The aim of this exhibition is to feature illustrations that offer personal narrative surrounding superstition. Open to any artist living in the continental United States. Illustrations can be traditional hand drawn/painted illustration, digital illustration, or a combination of both. Illustrations must be original, completed within the last five years, and not previously shown at the Eastern New Mexico University's Runnels Gallery. All work must be two-dimensional, framed artwork that cannot exceed 40" in height and length and must be properly wired for hanging. No saw tooth hangers. Frames must be black, white, or silver. Matting must be black, white, or any shade of gray. No illustrations requiring electricity, water, or perishable items will be accepted.
