CALL FOR ARTISTS FOR 11th ANNUAL JURIED SHOW
Juror: Andrew S. Yang
 
Gallery A3 announces an OPEN CALL FOR ARTISTS for its 11th Annual Juried Show, to be held August 6–29, 2026. Submissions accepted online May 10–June 7, 2026.

Gallery A3’s Annual Juried Show offers local and regional artists an opportunity to exhibit in a downtown Amherst gallery. It gives the community a chance to see artists well-known in the area along with an opportunity to discover others who may be exhibiting for the first time in western Massachusetts.

This year, the theme is Everyday Sublime. Traditionally, the sublime describes awe, wonder, and sometimes fear in the face of nature’s immensity. It holds a special place in art history in its challenge to artists to portray personal experiences in an impersonal universe. At a time when the world can feel unnervingly tamed or overwhelmingly all-consuming, where and how does the Everyday Sublime present itself? Juror Andrew S. Yang lives in the Pioneer Valley and is a professor at the School of the Art Institute Chicago.
