SPOTLIGHT EXHIBITIONS

Spotlight exhibitions at the Arc Spotlight Gallery, the Infinity, and Vedder Price highlight artist works in longer exhibitions, often 3-4 months. These exhibitions not only feature artists that we have curated in the gallery, but also spotlight our consulting capabilities. Click the image for more information on all of the Spotlight venues.
CALL FOR ART AT ARC GALLERY
Word Play National Juried Exhibition Call for Artists Is Open!

Word Play invites artists to influence the viewer through the interplay between text and visual elements in contemporary art. Today, we no longer have the patience to read long blogs or books; we expect fast, attention-getting imagery and memes to stimulate our senses. In Word Play, we are looking for artworks that creatively engage with text, whether through words, letters, phrases, or entire narratives. The text can serve as a message, a visual texture, a conceptual element, or even as the main subject. We encourage submissions that explore themes such as language, identity, culture, politics, and the interaction between words and image.
