CHASING LIGHT

Light: it dances across landscapes, ignites emotions, and sculpts reality. It's a fleeting muse, a constant mystery, and the very essence that artists have been chasing for centuries.

The Chasing Light Exhibition is a juried exhibition that celebrates the captivating interplay of light and shadow in all its forms. We invite artists of all disciplines to capture the essence of light in their work:

  • Photographers: Do you chase the fleeting magic of a sunrise with your camera? Capture the ephemeral beauty of golden hour or the drama of a storm-lit sky.

  • Painters (plein air and studio): Still life bathed in golden afternoon light, the way sunlight filters through leaves, or the dramatic chiaroscuro of a nighttime scene - we want to see your unique interpretations.

  • 3D Artists and Sculptors: Do you sculpt with shadows, building worlds of contrast and form? How do you capture the play of light on textures and surfaces in your work?

We are seeking submissions that showcase:

  • Technical mastery: Strong use of light and shadow techniques within your chosen medium.

  • Artistic vision: A unique and personal interpretation of the theme.

  • Emotional impact: The ability to evoke a feeling or tell a story through light and shadow.

All mediums are encouraged! Paintings, sculptures, photographs, mixed media installations - let your artistic vision guide you!

Be part of the CHASING LIGHT SHOW!
