Call to Artists The Jamestown Arts Center (JAC) in Jamestown, RI, invites artists to submit their work to the exhibition RAW: Reassessment and Wonder, opening March 18, 2022. RAW asks artists to explore their own individual reassessments: the desire or need to authentically explore one’s psychological, physical, and environmental state, see a new perspective or shift forward. Danielle Ogden, the exhibition curator, explains: “Since the onset of the pandemic, many of us have faced moments of uncertainty, unexpectedness, and flux. These experiences can be vulnerable, but can also spark joy, courage, and resilience. This exhibition is an opportunity to explore work by artists who have made radical shifts in their practice—from exploring entirely new challenges in materials and techniques, to confronting content around personal and cultural identity.” Original work in all media, including installation, performance, and outdoor sculpture is eligible, but must have been completed within the past two years. Artists who identify as BIPOC, as LGBTQIA+, who identify as having differences in ability or as part of the Disabled Community, and people of all social and economic backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
