Collage Artists of America Annual Members Juried Virtual Show

Collage Artists of America (CAA) is accepting entries for “Interplay” a members only virtual on-line juried show launching April 1 – May 31, 2024.

Just like in life, the interaction or INTERPLAY of disparate elements in art can be unexpected and surprising. Whether the elements come together in a harmonious visual dialogue or create artistic dissonance with unusual juxtapositions, the new energies create a dynamic whole that is unique and greater than any individual elements alone. Your interpretation of INTERPLAY could be how you manipulate materials, use existing or new techniques or use specific design elements. Perhaps you compare or contrast similar or diverse historical and cultural sources. The options for variation can be endlessly fun to experiment with, either abstractly or with any degree of representation.

If you are not already a member, you may join Collage Artists of America for $55 to qualify at any time before submission. Visit https://collageartists.org/Member-Application
