Artspace FRESH Call for Submissions

The submission window is open from March 18-April 15, 2022

submit to fresh

FRESH features new works by North Carolina artists in a hybrid exhibition that is both in person and virtual. The exhibition seeks to demystify the process of a juried art exhibition while providing all artists from across the state with an opportunity to show their work. All submitted works will be on display during May and will culminate in a final juried exhibition in June. The final juried exhibition and awards will be juried by Jonell Logan, VP + Creative Director at the McColl Center.

FRESH attendees will have the opportunity to view the exhibition in person at Artspace or online. The digital exhibition will include all submitted works, during May, plus curated selections by local guest curators.

With each art sale for FRESH, 60% of the proceeds are allocated to the artist and 40% are allocated to Artspace in support of our mission to provide local artists with subsidized studio spaces, exhibitions in the heart of downtown Raleigh, and accessible community events and art education programs throughout our region. FRESH is a fundraising exhibition where artists have agency over setting their own prices for their work.
