Description

The Majestic Theater Art Gallery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania invites women-identifying artists to submit works that mirror, reflect, admire, pay homage to, or otherwise embody other women-identifying artists. Direct influence of work by women or likenesses are welcome as long as the applicant is woman-identifying and the work is inspired by the style or oeuvre of a woman artist. This exhibit honors the works of artists who innovated, broke ground, and paved the way for future generations of female artists and will coincide with a series of live performances that include the critically acclaimed The Other Mozart, Sylvia Milo's work that has sparked an international conversation about the lost work of Mozart's forgotten sister, Tymisha Harris' Josephine: A Burlesque Cabaret Dream Play which explores the life of Josephine Baker, and performances by contemporary musician, comedian, and filmmaker, Isabel Hagen.

Please submit image(s) along with details on media, dimensions, and weight (if applicable) as well as a bio, CV, and a brief description of the work and how it responds to the call. All works must be ready to hang (gallery will be hung by picture rail) and 3D objects and time-based media will be considered on a case-by-case basis dependent on space availability. Limited funding is available to help offset the cost of shipping works; please indicate if you would like to apply for a shipping stipend and an estimated cost.
Please submit works for consideration by December 1, 2024.
