The New Art Center seeks entries for the “2025 Community Figure Drawing Exhibition,” curated by artist Seline Smith, and held April 24th-May 19th 2025 at the New Art Corridor.

Eligibility

Open to New Art Students and figure drawing attendees, this juried exhibition invites submissions that explore figure drawings through paintings, pastels, and all forms of 2d and 3d art with realistic representation or abstraction.

Originality: All entries must be original works of art created within a New Art Class, Workshop, or Figure Drawing Session. Artwork may not be a copy or likeness of another’s work or a recognizable use of another’s intellectual property. Artwork may not be a copy of photo reference material other than the entrant’s.

Each artist may submit up to 4 works; framed and unframed works will be accepted. Media must be a minimum of 8×8” within a maximum of 30×30”. Images must contain the figure, however abstract work will be accepted. The work will be held in a representational style that mimics the feeling of a figure drawing class using non traditional hanging methods.
