Second, the 120˚ Intercollegiate Arts Regional calls for student artwork.

The third is More Than A Sketchbook: The Diary of an Artist. The Arts Center is looking for 25 artists to sketch a portion of a sketchbook and submit one completed work during the winter of 2021. Sketchbooks will be on display with accompanying artwork for Arts Center visitors to look through. This project gives artists a chance to share their processes, thoughts, likes, dislikes, and personal creative journeys with the viewer. This is an opportunity for artists to present their work with the potential for discussion, education, and understanding. Our community members, viewers, and patrons can appreciate the skill, time, and development needed to implement an idea into a finished piece by engaging themselves with the process. The submission deadline has been extended to Feb. 15. For more information and to apply, go to artscenteronline.org/submissions.
Lastly is the 2021 open call for art, Artist Applications: All Mediums. Submissions will be considered for opportunities including solo exhibitions, small and large group exhibitions, performance, installation possibilities, and more. Artists in all media - clay arts, painting, printmaking, sculpture, installation, video, photography, performance, and mixed media presentations are invited to submit artwork for consideration. Artists must live within a 100-mile radius of Troy, NY to be considered. For more information and to apply, go to artscenteronline.org/submissions.
