Exhibit Your Artwork
Each year Arts Bonita presents a dynamic and wide-ranging selection of exhibitions which both appeal to and enlighten our membership and visitors.
While some exhibitions feature member, faculty or student artists from our own community, other shows feature traveling exhibitions from national institutions in the U.S. or artworks from around the world.
Our schedule provides events that focus on a particular theme, medium or concept. The Summer features regional artists, October features a traveling exhibition, and February features our Annual Members Exhibition.
The jury process for all open call exhibitions occurs online via our online application form. Artists should photograph their artwork prior to starting the application. Please refer to the link below for instructions on uploading artwork.
VOICES THROUGH ABSTRACTION
April 18 - May 16, 2024
Visual Arts Center
26100 Old 41 Road, Bonita SpringsA themed open call exhibition.
Voices through Abstraction is a juried competition open to 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional abstract artwork in any media. Abstract art is created by removing the usual references and making visible that which is not easily seen. It embodies flexibility and freedom, with a boldness or perhaps absence of color. Line, pattern, form, and composition are still elements that are employed. Mark making becomes unique and compelling. The viewer is offered an opportunity to experience a range of ideas and emotions by creating a “voice through abstraction."
