AUGUST OPEN CALL

3017 Gallery invites artists to submit work for Chroma, an exhibition celebrating the luminosity and expressive range of pastel and colored pencil.

This exhibition seeks works that highlight the unique ability of these mediums to capture color with vibrancy, nuance, and depth. From bold, saturated hues to delicate shifts in tone and atmosphere, Chroma explores the versatility of pastel and colored pencil as mediums capable of conveying light, emotion, texture, and atmosphere.

Artists are encouraged to showcase the distinctive qualities of their chosen medium through thoughtful explorations of color, composition, and expression. We welcome representational, abstract, and experimental approaches that celebrate the richness and possibilities of both pastel and colored pencil.

Open to artists working primarily in pastel and/or colored pencil

Extended submission deadline: July 28
Exhibition opens August 8

Selected artists will be notified shortly after the close of submissions.

We look forward to seeing the many ways artists bring Chroma to life through color.

SEPTEMBER OPEN CALL

3017 Gallery invites artists to submit work for Out of Shape, an exhibition celebrating unconventional forms, irregular edges, and artwork that moves beyond the traditional rectangle.

This exhibition explores shape as both a compositional element and a physical object. We welcome work featuring shaped canvases, abstracted forms, irregular compositions, unconventional framing, sculptural wall pieces, and other inventive approaches to form. Whether organic or geometric, subtle or dramatic, Out of Shape celebrates artwork where shape is central to the piece itself.

Artists working in all media are encouraged to apply. Painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, fiber, woodworking, mixed media, printmaking, photography, and more are welcome, provided the work engages with the theme through form, structure, or presentation.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: August 29th

EXHIBITION OPENING: September 12th

OCTOBER OPEN CALL

3017 Gallery invites artists to submit work for Uncanny, an exhibition exploring the eerie, the mysterious, and the unexplainable.

We welcome artwork that embraces the strange, surreal, and unsettling. From haunting figures and dreamlike landscapes to cryptic symbolism, eerie atmospheres, and imagined creatures, Uncanny celebrates work that evokes curiosity, tension, and wonder. Whether psychological, supernatural, grotesque, or quietly unsettling, we encourage artists to explore the unknown and invite viewers into worlds that defy explanation.

Artists working in all media are encouraged to apply. Painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, fiber, woodworking, mixed media, printmaking, photography, digital media, and more are welcome.

3017 Gallery invites artists to submit work for less is more, an exhibition celebrating the impact and versatility of small-scale artwork. Open to works 12 × 12 inches or smaller, this exhibition highlights pieces that prove size does not limit presence, meaning, or visual impact.

Less Is More explores the unique experience of engaging with artwork on an intimate scale—where every piece has the opportunity to command attention, invite closer observation, and create a lasting impression.

Artists are encouraged to submit work that embraces the possibilities of working within a smaller format.

Artists working in all media are encouraged to apply. Painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, fiber, woodworking, mixed media, printmaking, photography, digital media, and more are welcome.
