CALL FOR ARTISTS

Drawn from Life 2025: Identity

Upstream Gallery, Hastings on Hudson, NY

August 7th to August 24th, 2025

Deadline for Entry: Midnight Sunday July 6th, 2025

Entry Fee: $45.00 for a minimum of 3 pieces; $4.00 additional for each entry thereafter up to a maximum of 8 pieces. ($65) All pieces must be for sale. The gallery will retain a commission of 30% on all sales.

Identity: Today’s world is fraught with issues around identity. Who we are, were we came from, whom we love, how we vote- all are increasingly volatile aspects of how our society defines us. When we draw the human figure, we are in a sense, always drawing ourselves as well. Upstream Gallery invites artists working in any medium except photography to submit work focused on the human figure that speaks to the idea of individual identity. All styles ranging from abstract to representational are welcome.

Juror: Dr. Wendy Simonds Wendy Simonds is an artist, playwright and Professor of Gerontology and Sociology at Georgia State University. Simonds’s areas of specialization include gender, sexuality, reproductive justice, aging, and health.

The exhibition will be at Upstream Gallery, Hastings on Hudson, NY from August 7th to August 24th, 2025. Artists Reception on Sunday, August 10th 2-5 pm

Eligible Work: Drawing, painting, printmaking, and sculpture are all eligible for this juried show. Successful entries will demonstrate clear thematic relationships among two or more pieces. Photography is not eligible for this exhibition; we hold a separate show for photographic work.

Specifications: Maximum framed size may not exceed 30 x 40 inches. Accepted pieces must be properly wired or mounted for hanging. 3-D work must be ready for wall-mounting or have a base included. The gallery reserves the right to reject poorly presented pieces.
