November 2027 Gallery Members Call for Entries, "Patterns"

November 2027

Gallery Members Only Exhibition – Theme: Patterns

Patterns are everywhere—woven into nature, architecture, textiles, movement, color, and the rhythms of everyday life.

For this Gallery Members Exhibition, Crossroads Art Center invites artists to explore PATTERNS in all their forms. Look for repetition, rhythm, symmetry, geometry, texture, and design—or break the pattern entirely!

Your inspiration might come from the repeating petals of a flower, ripples across water, rows of city windows, shadows on a sidewalk, fabric and quilts, mosaics and tiles, animal markings, abstract shapes, or patterns created simply through line and color.

Patterns can be bold or subtle, orderly or chaotic, natural or man-made, traditional or completely unexpected.

How do you see PATTERNS?

PLEASE NOTE POLICY CHANGES:

1) We do NOT issue Refunds—

You will immediately get an email from ArtCall when payment is received. Check your spam folder if you don’t see it. The problem is usually a slow internet, or using your phone to enter. Do not continue to click the “submit payment” button. A deleted entry is still charged.

2) Need help entering the shows through ArtCall online?

 Artists that need help with entries can now get that help by paying $50 per entry. Call or email the art center to arrange an appointment.

3) AI Restrictions—
Artists must use THEIR OWN photo references. The use of any AI generated images or inspiration, professional photographed images, other artist’s images, instructor’s images or photographs taken by another individual, is STRICTLY prohibited.

Should we determine that an artist has violated this policy, the offending artist will NOT be eligible to participate in CAC online or gallery exhibitions for a period of two (2) years.

This policy safeguards the integrity of CAC and protects the individual artist from potential copyright infringement. Crossroads Art Center assumes no legal liability for violations of copyright of another individual’s material, or intellectual property rights.

The gallery will accept only original work created by the artist. No reproductions or giclee prints will be accepted unless approved by Jenni Kirby, owner. 

Works where  the art process IS the printed process, i.e., etching, monoprint, silkscreen, lithograph, etc., or where the printed digital images is created by the artist with a computer program such as Procreate, Photoshop, etc. ARE permitted.  Artists must describe the process and program(s) used in the creation of their digital image.

The gallery reserves the right to refuse work if it believes these qualifiers have not been met.

5) Entering the show is an agreement. We expect the work to be delivered—
Be sure the dates for this show do not conflict with any gallery obligations you already have. As soon as work is entered, it should be temporarily removed from all sales and exhibition venues. Do not submit works with overlapping dates!
