Aug 5-24 - A Call for Art for Hispanic Heritage Art Celebration Show at OSA

August 5 - 24, 2022 Open Space Arts (OSA) has just released their next Call for Art for the local, Prince William County artists and art groups, to submit their Hispanic and Latino influenced art to be considered for display at the gallery.

Open Space Arts Gallery in Woodbridge, Virginia

The new art gallery is located at the Stonebridge Shopping Center.

15000 #140 Potomac Town Center

Woodbridge, VA

It is between Ulta on one side and The Loft and Barnes and Noble on the other with DSW directly across the street. 

Periodically, a Call for Art is sent out for artists that wish to show their art to submit their information and images via a Jotform. All artwork that is displayed at the gallery is juried, which means it is selected to appear. 

Typically, most art shows or Calls for Art for Open Space Arts do not have a particular theme per se. It has happened that a lot of art selected has had a similar theme and were grouped that way (example: beaches, sand and sunshine paintings). For this Hispanic Heritage Art Celebration, we obviously want to celebrate everything with a Hispanic, Latino, Spanish style influences. We strongly urge artists from these cultures as well as artists with work about the cultures to enter the Call.

Title of Show: ­­­ Hispanic Heritage Celebration

Exhibition Period: September 21 - October 16, 2022

Call for Art Submission Period Opens: August 5, 2022

Call for Art Submission Period Closes: August 24, 2022

Notification of Acceptance/Regrets: August 31, 2022 (via email)

Artists in Prince William County

Open Space Arts is all about promoting the art of its residents AND its arts groups. As it turns out, we do not know who the artists are in the county. How would we? Well, you will need to let us know that you are interested in showing at the gallery and we have provided a way to do just that!

On the Prince William Art Society's (PWAS) website we answer a LOT of questions about submitting your art, display requirements, and so much more, so spend some time on the site so you know what to expect - and to have your best chance to be selected.

Artist Requirements

• Go to the Prince William Art Society's website and let us know who you are in the Call for Art signup form.  Get on our emailing list right away to be included in the most current Call for Art. Or contact shawonesent@gmail.com
• You must be 18 or older - and all artists will need to volunteer some time at the gallery.
  
• The artists must reside in Prince William County OR be a member of a Prince William County art group - like the Prince William Art Society, Manassas Art Guild, Prince William County Arts Council or other art or photography group.
  

Let me emphasize the resident and art group thing. 

- You need to be an artist that lives in Prince William County (PWC), anywhere in the county....OR...

- Or you are a member of PWAS, MAG, PWCAC, PARTners - any art or photography group based in Prince William County
