Chasing Light:
A Study of Light & Shadow
August 2021

The subjects of AVA’s Chasing Light Exhibition are light and shadow, and the interplay of the two. A plein air painter or photographer records the light as quickly as possible, before it changes. The still life painter is often focused on capturing reflected light. The 3-D artist (clay, metal, fiber, etc.) sees relationships in forms, a variety of textures, contrasts of dark and light values, and repetition in shadows cast. How can your medium and your choice of subject best express the theme of Chasing Light?

AVA Community Art Center in Gillette, WY invites artists to submit three (3) artworks for consideration in the Chasing Light Exhibition. The exhibition will feature twenty-seven (27) individual artworks. Awards for Best In Show, Second Place and Third Place are to be allocated based on a juried selection process. Additionally, one (1) People’s Choice award will be selected based on public votes and announced during the Artists’ Reception. All submissions will be considered by a guest Juror, more details to be announced soon!

Best In Show - $500.00
Second Place - $250.00
Third Place - $150.00
People’s Choice (1) - $100.00 

​Artworks must not exceed 48" in any direction, including frame. Upon delivery to AVA, all work must be framed and ready to display. Inventory Sheets and W-9s can be provided by AVA via email or in-person upon request and must be completed at time of delivery. Please read the full Call for Art here for more details before submitting.
