Artist Opportunites

Part of our mission is to support artists both on Hawaiʻi Island and across the pae ʻāīna of Hawaiʻi. We offer open artist calls for a variety of shows throughout the year. All artist calls are hosted on the Call for Entry platform and are managed by the non-profit Hawaiʻi Island Art Alliance. Scroll down for more information on calls that are open now and other upcoming artist opportunities. 

Vessels: That Which Hold

Submissions Due: August 15 
Deadline Extended!

Juror: J Keʻa Rosehill

 

What does it mean to be a vessel? What does it mean to hold? To contain?

 

In this exhibit we invite artists to explore the meaning and media of a vessel both literally and figuratively. Open to 2D and 3D works from Hawaiʻi based artists.

 

Accepted works will be displayed along with Hawaiʻi Island pieces from the annual Handweavers Hui exhibit.
