New this year: We have a new co-juror this year and a lower submission fee.
Continuing our annual show devoted to women artists, O’Hanlon Center for the Arts is committed to bringing more gender equity to the world of art. This 17th year we extend our reach around the globe to artists who identify as female and encourage them to submit to this popular ONLINE show.
The art must be created by a person who identifies as female but the work DOES NOT need to reference or allude to images of women or women’s issues. It is certainly OK if they do!
Our curation and presentation of the selected work are exceptional. We promote the artists through social media, print media and email outreach. We create a quality printable catalog of the show and the online shows are archived but accessible after the close of the show. Visit our website to see examples of other online shows:https://www.ohanloncenter.org/exhibits/current/
Both Jurors will be given the same maximum number of works to select. All works independently selected by each juror will be included in the exhibition.
O’Hanlon Center for the Arts emphasizes the creative process and the continued pursuit of meaning and authenticity through observation, exploration, and experimentation.
A portion of the income from submission fees will go to supporting the work of the non-profit MC Arts and Culture in Marin City, CA. Inherent in MCAC’s mission is to support healing of multi-generational trauma by providing safe spaces for Black artists to create, exhibit, teach and connect with other communities. Their vision imagines a world where Black artists heal by creating; and use their talents to uplift families, prosper communities and engage society.
