Last day to enter Lucent or Mirroring Reality! Enter online by 11:59pm tonight. You can find both calls at https://www.artlinkfw.org/calls-for-entry

Lucent: The Art of Light
This juried exhibition is open to light-focused works of all media and can be interpreted broadly—from work that depicts light, to work which emits light itself.

Mirroring Reality: Realism Today
This call for entry invites artists practicing Realism, Photorealism, and Hyperrealism. Open to all media, this exhibition will highlight diverse interpretations of Contemporary Realism and explore how artists mirror, challenge, and reconstruct reality through representational imagery.

$12 per entry, entries submitted online only. Learn more at artlinkfw.org/calls-for-entry and apply to either exhibition by June 18! The selected artworks will be on view at Artlink July 30 - August 23, 2026.
