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.

The Hilliard Gallery located in the Crossroads Art District in Kansas City, Mo., is seeking submissions for consideration for the Gallery’s fifteenth Annual Contemporary Figurative Art Show- The Figure in Contemporary Art. This call is open to all mediums and creative styles of artwork. The show will open on the First Friday, April 1, 2022 and runs through May 25th, 2022. The show seeks to showcase the the place of the figure holds in Contemporary Art

The criteria for artwork are as follows:

The nature of figure art in contemporary art today is very eclectic and allowing for all experimentation possible. This show will feature a thoughtfully curated selection of exceptional artists whose works derive their subjects or inspirations from the figure.
This show is open to work in all media and styles.
All submitted works must be available for sale.
