LSU School of Art seeks entries for its 2025 Juried Summer Contemporary: FELT
The LSU School of Art and LSU College of Art & Design are pleased to invite contemporary local and regional artists and culture bearers to submit work to this year’s summer show—an open call, juried exhibition entitled FELT, which will be on view in Glassell Gallery located in downtown Baton Rouge’s Shaw Center for the Arts.
Taking an expansive approach to feel, feeling, felt, Glassell Gallery is seeking artists whose work addresses emotional states and embodiment—to the shifts felt when we tune into our senses. We seek work that embraces the sensuous—touch, temperature, vibration, aura—and connects the haptic, emotional, and somatic.
The call for entries is open April 22–June 10, 2024; entries are accepted via artcall.org at the following link Home | FELT | LSU School of Art Summer Contemporary. Please review the full submission guidelines and important dates at this link, where you may also submit your work. There is a $10 fee for entry. The exhibition will be on view from July 12–August 23, 2025, at Glassell Gallery.
