is the color of new beginnings, Springtime, and Earth Day. It is

greed, jealousy, and illness. Additionally, green can mean eco-friendly

In-Fill PA open call
Work due March (exact date TBD); hanging Saturday, May 6th
Show runs May 8th through June 9th
IN-FILL PA participants are asked to submit hard copies or PDFs of
drawings, graphics, photo-collages, plans, and 2-D models of concept
designs and implemented projects that address in-fill spaces. Before and
after imagery is welcome as well as images that illustrate the process
of in-fill space transformation.
Project Background:
In-fill is the practice of re-dedication of land to new programming
and/or development. Many small towns and cities in Pennsylvania, and
elsewhere, have vacant lots. Often these lots sit unused for years. In
some instances, communities have reassigned these spaces as outdoor
amenities such as pocket parks, playgrounds, community gardens, outdoor
workspaces, meditation gardens, and performance venues. These
transitions breathe new life into underutilized spaces.

“In the City” open call
Work due Saturday, July 22nd
Show runs Monday, July 24th through Friday, September 1st
To
explain his impressions of the early industrial cities of Europe,
Charles Baudelaire used the term “ennui”, the feeling of being alone on a
crowded place. He saw these cities with their influx of people from the
country as lonely and distant. Is that how you think of cities today,
or as bustling cities of opportunity? Or do you see them as dangerous,
or mysterious? The Exchange Gallery invites you to share your thoughts
on the city though your art. All media welcome. _____________________________________________________________________
“Food for Thought” open call
Work due Saturday, October 14th
Show runs Monday, October 16th, through Friday, November 17th
“Nothing would be more tiresome than eating and drinking if God had not made them a pleasure as well as a necessity.” – Voltaire
As
one of our basic life needs, food has been a popular subject matter
throughout modern art and art history. Depictions of food can be found
in Italian Renaissance paintings, on Roman mosaics, and inside the
Egyptian pyramids. Food is the cornerstone of holidays, celebrations,
and the Bloomsburg Fair! Everything from fruits and vegetables to
delectable desserts, elegant cuisine to greasy diner platters – we love
it all, and we want to see it all! The Exchange invites you to submit
artwork on the delicious theme of food. The Exchange asks artists and show-goers to donate non-perishable food items during the duration of this exhibition. At the end of the show, we will bring your donations to the Bloomsburg Food Cupboard.
