OPEN CALL: NATION FACES

We’re currently accepting submissions for Nation Faces: Reimagining Americana. We want art that speaks to America—not just the political body—but the place, the culture, and the feeling, interpreted across time and by distinct peoples. America can be a frontier plain or a gilded skyscraper, and it belongs to everyone. 

We want art that explores the multifaceted American experience, whether it depicts a place, a person, an event, or a moment in time. As such, this show aims to be equally multifaceted: we encourage experimentation and hope to elevate artists who push boundaries, combine disciplines, and collaborate. We make sure that all accepted artists receive the opportunity for a spectated talk, panel, or other event celebrating their work.

We’re especially interested in video art. Makers of short and long-form films are strongly encouraged to submit, and will receive numerous display options and fully seated screening opportunities. Films will be projected on walls or curtains throughout the day, and at night, will be displayed on the sidewalk in front of the building. Every passerby becomes a viewer.

All interested artists should send up to five works and a brief artist’s statement to hudsonmillinersubmissions@gmail.com. A $30 entry fee is required for consideration; payment link will be emailed. Please review additional guidelines below.

(OCT. 10 DEADLINE)
