Merit Award, Things Unseen Biennial National Juried Exhibition

Gainesville Fine Arts Association (GFAA) Gallery, FL, USA

August 23 - October 22, 2022

The Gainesville Fine Arts Association (GFAA) invites submissions that broadly explore the theme Things Unseen. We invite artists to contemplate the things in between the lines and the questions behind the questions.  

Who are the people or what are the ideas behind movements, trends, and culture that have been lost from view? We as individuals walk around with hidden illnesses, disabilities, stories and feelings that we keep private. On the surface of our skin are microscopic organisms and structures that are too small to see. There are people of color and women who are left out of history books and research papers. Who are the wives behind the men whose names are known by us all? There are things unknown to our eyes in the vastness of space and in the deepest of oceans, and countless species yet to be discovered. We would like to invite artists to question, investigate, and to dive deeper; to make the implicit explicit; and bring to light Things Unseen.
