Call for Artists of Southern Appalachia

The Asheville Art Museum is accepting submissions until March 31 from artists of the Southern Appalachian region for Appalachia Now! An Interdisciplinary Survey of Contemporary Art in Southern Appalachia, the inaugural exhibition of the new Asheville Art Museum when it reopens in early 2019.

Appalachia Now! An Interdisciplinary Survey of Contemporary Art in Southern Appalachia will feature emerging and established artists from the mountainous regions of North Carolina and its bordering states: northern Georgia, western South Carolina, eastern Tennessee and southern Virginia. The exhibition includes artists of all media, such as painting, sculpture, new media, dance and film.

Public programs and performances will be held in conjunction with the exhibition. A full color catalogue featuring the selected works will be made available in print and online, along with an online registry of all Open Call applicants. The registry will include information provided by the applicants through the Open Call and will be an invaluable resource for both promoting artists of the region and providing the public with a finding tool for information about southern Appalachian artists.
