Sky Gallery Call for Artists: Into the Blue

The Springfield Regional Arts Council and Sky Gallery at the Springfield-Branson National Airport are now accepting submissions for their Into the Blue exhibition, running from September - November, 2022. This exhibition invites artists to submit work inspired by the color blue.

The SRAC’s Ozzie Awards will be held at the airport in October with a “Midnight in the Garden” theme and would like the artworks to be enveloped in blue to set the tone.

Submission Process:

Submit up to 5 digital images (JPGs) of actual works you hope to have selected for the exhibition. Name each JPG with your first initial, last name, and piece title (example: JSmithTitle.jpg). Please include dimensions, media, frame type if applicable, and retail pricing (including 25% SRAC commission) in your email. Send all submissions to claire@springfieldarts.org by midnight, Friday, August 12th, 2022.

Artists will be selected by an anonymous jurying process. All submissions will be notified of acceptance or rejection by Saturday, August 20th. All participating artists are expected to drop off their work between 9am-12pm Friday, August 26th.
