Austin Details Art + Photo is a fantastic new gallery in downtown Austin by Jann Alexander.  She has announced several calls for entry around specific themes.  Be sure to click on MORE… to see the full post.

The Calls for Entry are:

The Neon Show

American loves neon. And Austin’s full of it.

Austin is a town that worships neon. It lights up our life all over the city, as it does all around the country. We’ll pay homage to the art of neon with our gallery’s Grand Opening and exhibit reception on September 16,  The Neon Show.

YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO SUBMIT if you are an emerging or established artist creating original works in neon or about neon, especially with neon itself, or painting, serigraphy, film/video, traditional or digital photography, where the subject matter shows neon. Enter by August 23 to have your art considered for exhibition.

Essence: The Truth in the Portrait

The best portraits convey a hidden truth.

How do you portray your subject’s hidden qualities–the essence–in a portrait? We’re looking for your creative responses for our October 15 exhibit, Essence: The Truth in the Portrait.

YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO SUBMIT if you are an emerging or established artist creating original portraits, in any media, especially painting (oil, acrylic, pastel, water color, etc.), serigraphy, film/video, sculpture or mixed media. Enter by September 17 to have your art considered for exhibition.
