DEADLINE TO APPLY: MAY 3rd, 2026
The human figure has been a subject for artists for thousands of years, grounding us in who we are individually and collectively. From ancient cave paintings to contemporary questions of identity, authorship and representation, documenting ourselves and capturing the likenesses of others is deeply human.
For this Supporter Call for Entry, artists are invited to submit figurative work in any medium. Whether you use traditional or alternative media, realism or abstraction, share work that contemplates the human form.
Written descriptions are highly encouraged to provide context.
Please note: this Call for Entry is open to current ARTS Southeast Supporters.
