Calls for Artists

Art

Angst Gallery seeks artists to submit works for its annual Celebration of the Male Form exhibit from Jan. 4 through 26, with a First Friday opening reception from 5 to 9 p.m. Jan. 4. The exhibit is an opportunity for artists to depict the male body in various mediums as a counterbalance to the art world’s emphasis on the feminine form. Intake of artwork will happen from 2 to 6 p.m. Dec. 22 and from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Jan. 2. If neither of those times work, contact Leah Jackson at Leah.AngstGallery@gmail.com to make other arrangements. Angst Gallery, 1015 Main St., Vancouver. Artists may submit up to three pieces with a sliding scale submission fee of $10 to $20. angstgallery.com

Each participant must pay a $12 registration fee and will receive three art panels (5×5, 5×7, 8×8) on which to create artworks. The art will be featured and sold at the exhibit event on Feb. 8 and 9. Proceeds benefit future public art installations in downtown Camas. For more information, visit downtowncamas.com/littleartcamas.
