PaperWorks 2025: Made in America
Upstream Gallery Juried PaperWorks show 2025
June 19th to July 6th, 2025
Entry Fee: $45.00 for a minimum of 3 pieces; $4.00 additional for each entry thereafter up to a maximum of 8 pieces ($65). All pieces must be for sale. The gallery will retain a commission of 30% on all sales.
Deadline for entries: Midnight, Sunday May 25th, 2025
Made in America: Lyndon B. Johnson once said: “Art is a nation’s most precious heritage. For it is in our works of art that we reveal to ourselves and to others the inner vision which guides us as a nation.” Our country has experienced serious changes during the last several months. Has the character of our nation changed or is everything new just a reflection of our past? Upstream Gallery is inviting artists to use their insight to provide answers to this question and submit works on or made from paper that engage with the state of our nation and world today. Representational and abstract styles are both welcomed. Drawing, painting, printmaking, collage and sculpture are all welcome for this juried show.
Eligible Work: Artists are invited to submit 2-D or 3-D work that is primarily paper based and made by hand, not digitally. Successful entries will demonstrate clear thematic relationships among two or more pieces. Photography is not eligible for this exhibition; we hold a separate show for photographic work.
Specifications: All work must be suitably framed. Maximum framed size may not exceed 40 x 60 inches. Accepted pieces must be wired for hanging. The gallery reserves the right to reject poorly presented pieces.
