INTERIORS : Galloway Library Exhibit Online Registration

CALL FOR ARTISTS – “Interiors”

The Absecon Cultural Arts Alliance is pleased to announce our upcoming exhibit at the Galloway Library, featuring the theme “Interiors.”

This exhibition invites artists to explore the spaces we inhabit, both physical and emotional. From quiet corners and lived-in rooms to imagined environments and intimate personal spaces, Interiors celebrates the stories, moods, and memories held within walls.

Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme broadly. Works may depict residential rooms, public spaces, studios, storefronts, or abstracted interior environments. Whether grounded in realism or drifting into the conceptual, this exhibit explores how light, composition, objects, and atmosphere shape our experience of space. Interiors can be architectural, psychological, or symbolic—capturing not just where we are, but how it feels to be there.

This exhibit is open to two-dimensional, wall-hangable artwork only. Accepted mediums include painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, and mixed media.

Artwork will be on display for approximately two months, and artists should plan accordingly.

Submissions are open to artists of all experience levels, with an emphasis on originality, craftsmanship, and creative interpretation of the theme.

Drop-off for the exhibit will take place at the Galloway Library on May 30, from 10:00am to 12:00pm.

All artwork must be properly framed, wired, and ready to hang. The library uses a cleat hanging system, so all pieces must include at least six inches of hanging wire.

Entry fees are $10 per piece, with a maximum of three pieces per artist.

Space is limited, so artists are asked to keep size and weight reasonable. Oversized or excessively heavy works may be declined at check-in at committee discretion due to space constraints. Every effort will be made to hang works on the main gallery wall, with overflow displayed in the meeting room immediately to the left of the entrance across from the restrooms.

Artwork will be judged by an independent juror, with results announced on social media. Awards will be presented to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners, with monetary prizes dependent on participation.

Online registration is available at:

Volunteers to assist with receiving and hanging artwork are always appreciated.

We look forward to seeing the many ways artists interpret space, place, and the environments we call our own.
