ART OF THE ELEMENTS
In partnership with the City of Alpharetta's Cultural Services, Arts Alpharetta hosts an open call for 'Art of the Elements.'

Exploring the four elements - earth, air, fire, and water - this exhibition presents artworks inspired by nature's elements. From earthy ceramics to ethereal paintings to kinetic sculptures, it captures the essence of these elemental forces. All media welcome.

Jurors seek artworks that reflect thoughtful interpretations and representations of the elements of the Earth in art, through medium, subject, process, or expression. Canvases must be 'gallery-wrapped,' meaning each must be 1.5 inches or more deep. Canvases less than 1.5 inches in depth must be inserted into a frame. All hanging artwork must be GALLERY READY, meaning wire stretched across the back, screwed into the wood or frame. No sawtooth hooks, paper-mount or adhesive mounted wire will be accepted.

Three-dimensional artworks should be free-standing, balanced to stand on a pedestal or table. Pedestals and display tables are provided, but artists are welcome to provide pedestals or stands for their piece.

​DEADLINE FOR ENTRIES: NOVEMBER 2, 2024
