To submit
Call to artist for submissions to our upcoming show The Figure in Contemporary Art; the 15th Annual Contemporary Figurative Show.
According to some, it now appears that figurative artwork has found its way from the periphery back to the center of the art world. Here at the Hilliard Gallery we have long been a voice for figurative artwork for over 15 years with our annual contemporary figurative art show, “The Figure in Contemporary Art.” We contend that figurative works never went to the periphery of the art world, but rather has always remained at the center or core of the contemporary artists and the art world. So, where do we see figure art being today, more importantly, what place does the human figure hold in Contemporary Art? This show will continue to explore these questions and maybe provide some answers.
