Call for Artists Deadline Extended: Reflections of Gratitude

In observance of Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day in March, the Berkeley Arts Council (BAC) will present Reflections of Gratitude, a collection of works about women. The exhibit will be on display at the Berkeley Art Works, 116 N. Queen Street, Martinsburg, WV from February 23 through April 2, 2022.

The goal of this exhibition is to honor women whose achievements and contributions have enriched our lives and bettered our world. They are our role models, influencers, sources of strength, beacons of hope. They may be artists, educators, preachers, healers, engineers, scientists; they are mothers, sisters, grandmothers, friends; they exist in many roles and vocations, in public and private life. Whether historical or contemporary, who has that woman been for you? Entries for this juried exhibit should pay tribute to women who have been influential in your life.

The exhibit is open to all visual artists throughout the continental United States, over the age of 18, working in any fine art or fine craft medium or technique, in 2- or 3-dimensions, representational, abstract, or non-representational.

Entries must be original works of art that have been completed within the last three (3) years, and have not been exhibited at The Berkeley Art Works previously.

Entry Fee: $35 for the first two works and $10 each additional work up to a maximum of four.

Awards: Best in Show, Merit and Honorable Mention.

Notification of Accepted Work – The exhibit will be juried by the Berkeley Arts Council. Selections will be announced by e-mail and posted on the BAC Web site on or about Friday, January 21, 2022. Delivery instructions will be provided when the accepted artists are announced.
