We Are All One is an open, all media, juried exhibit. Each artist may enter up to three pieces.

Community. We are all part of one, whether that means a community of artists, friends, families, neighborhoods, or nations; the most common factor is that we are all human, we are all one. We all have wants and needs and in today’s divisive culture now more so than ever we need to come back to embracing the sense of community, of seeing each other as human beings. Artists are asked to share their vision for what community means to them, putting all labels aside and showcase the truth that we are all one.

Entry Fees: Entry fees support the exhibition program at ArtCenter Manatee and help to keep the arts alive and vibrant in our community. If you are not currently a member, an individual membership is available for $60 for one full year.

Opening Reception: Thursday May 25, 5:00-7:00

Kaleidoscope of Color is an open, all media, juried exhibit.

There are a multitude of descriptors for the word kaleidoscope: motley, psychedelic, multicolor, particolored, polychromatic, prismatic, rainbow, varicolored, variegated. Artists were encouraged to play up the color in works for this all media open juried show.

Juror: Cecile Moran

Juror Statement:
What a joy to view the visual impact of the beautiful work in this exhibit! It is a powerful show of fine art. I am honored to be asked to judge this extraordinary work.

The work selected for the exhibit displays a knowledge of color and design, whether presented representationally or in abstract form. When selecting the pieces for the exhibit, my choices were based on: consideration of the color theme, completeness of thought, composition, skill and understanding of the materials used, and a uniqueness that speaks to the creative thinking of the artist. Congratulations to all of the participants for the beautiful work submitted and my wish is that you continue creating.
