Reclaiming Your Voice

Kelwood Contemporary Art is calling artists for Reclaiming Your Voice, an exhibit showcasing works by those affected by domestic violence. We hope the show will explore a range of emotions and perspectives—from personal experiences to those of loved ones and first responders.

Abuse thrives in silence. By sharing your work and a brief statement—your "voice"—you can help break the cycle, foster dialogue, and bring awareness to this critical issue. Submit your piece and be part of the conversation.

Please submit 2-D and 3-D work, digital and video, or poetry. Deadline to submit is June 2, 2025.

The Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge invites local LGBTQIA+ artists to create a work in response to the presence of the "pink triangle" in LGBTQIA+ history and contemporary culture.

LSU School of Art Juried Summer Contemporary: FELT

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, and 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, 2025.
