Call for Art - "Beauty in the Everyday"

"If I could say it in words there would be no reason to paint." - Edward Hopper

We are scheduled to exhibit artwork in the New Providence Memorial Library from January 13, 2027 until mid-March.

Artists see beauty in the world that non-artists don’t even notice. Light. colors, values, form, shapes, edges, atmosphere, interaction, emotion – those are some of the details that artists recognize while walking around each day. We want to celebrate that vision so we have created the theme “Beauty in the Everyday.” 

We encourage you to create art that celebrates what beauty you see in the world everyday. We are accepting up to five digital images per artist and a committee will select those pieces that best fit the theme. The New Providence Memorial Library exhibition space is quite large so we expect to accept 50 to 60 pieces in total, depending on sizes. Since it is a library and a public space, we will not accept nudity, or any offensive or provocative images. The library art committee will be the ultimate judges of what images are appropriate.

The deadline for submissions is Wednesday, January 6, 2027 at midnight and the art drop off will be on Tuesday, January 12, 2027.

Please complete the form below if you want to be considered for the “Beauty in the Everyday” show.
