Call for Artists / "Painting"

ORGANIZATION: L7 Gallery
DEADLINE: Jun. 30, 2026
WEBSITE: https://artist.callforentry.org/festivals_unique_info.php?ID=17656

CALL FOR ARTISTS:
Painting remains an intriguing art because it is a product of hand and eye flowing through both conscious and unconscious filters, placed upon a surface, that can convey a seemingly infinite variety of images, scenes, sensations, and emotions. Colors, lines, textures, and shapes all dance, merge, break apart, fight, explode, and sometimes create "pictures", other times not: that is painting, both as a noun and a verb.

In our next juried exhibition we are inviting international artists to participate in our online show: "Painting". If you are a painter we would love to see your favorite creations in our next L7 Gallery exposition. Oil, acrylic, watercolor, gouache, tempera, and ink are all accepted mediums.

We are excited to have Tara Anne Dalbow as juror for this exhibit. Tara Anne Dalbow is a writer living in Los Angeles. Her essays and criticism have appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Frieze, Artforum, ARTnews, Bomb, Gagosian Quarterly, Los Angeles Review of Books, Momus, Hyperallergic, The Art Newspaper, Artsy, and elsewhere.

All artwork must be original.
Artist must be 18 years or older.
