The MVA Gallery (Modern Visual Arts) invites artists, photographers and sculptors of all levels (emerging to established) to submit original artwork to this exhibition.
National Call For Entries: From ancient cultures to modern societies, The Four Elements -- Earth, Air, Fire, Water -- have provided various explanations about aspects of the material world, the forces of energy, and the attributes of human nature. The Four Elements had a profound influence on science, philosophy, religion, and medicine.
This exhibition theme creates opportunities for artists to explore a vast universe of imagery on a practical, symbolic, spiritual, psychological, or aesthetic level. Subject matter can range from commonplace to spectacular. Your art -- whether lyrical or bold, colorful or muted, representational or abstract -- can reveal the compelling concepts of The Four Elements.
Do you have images showing -- in part or in whole --EARTH (landscapes, gardens, animals, cityscapes), AIR (sky, sunsets, rainbows, birds, hot air balloons), FIRE (burning forests, buildings, bonfires, fireplaces), WATER (rivers, oceans, storms, swimming, baptisms, waterfalls). Individuals and structures may be included.
Any style and subject matter is welcome. You have limitless freedom! We are excited to see your personal interpretations and visions. Please join us!
Mediums: The MVA Gallery accepts painting, watercolor, printmaking, mixed media, digital, pastel, encaustic, sculpture, fiber, drawing and photography.
