Traces
Deadline for submissions: Jan 15, 2024
Juror: Jeff Curto
Prints due: Feb 23, 2024
Exhibition: March 8 - March 29, 2024

Even the most mundane human activity leaves evidence of its existence. Old shopping lists, a once-loved stuffed animal, fragments of an old wedding dress, all speak of the passage of time. Larger human activities leave boarded-up storefronts, crumbling infrastructure. No matter the scale, they all leave a nostalgic hint of an irretrievable past and, ultimately, of our mortality.
For this exhibition, we seek images that hint of humans come and gone by the traces left behind.
We are very pleased that Jeff Curto will be the juror Traces. He will select up to 35 images for exhibition in our Middlebury, Vermont gallery and another 40 images for our Online Gallery. All 75 images will be reproduced in the exhibition catalog and remain permanently on our website, with links to photographer’s URL.
To further reward excellence, we are offering $500 to the Juror's Award recipient, and $250 to the Director's Award recipient.

University of Pennsylvania faculty (standing and non-standing), staff, departments, programs, and centers are eligible to apply for Sachs Program Project Support Grants. Student groups may also apply in this category in collaboration with a department, program, or center—with the department, program, or center serving as the lead applicant.

Calling all artists! Sitar Arts Center's 14th Annual Patricia Sitar Juried Exhibition 2024 theme is Life in Color! Imagine a scene where colors have the power to capture various aspects of life — emotions, experiences, and memories. Artists show us how you evoke emotions, play with dimension, and reimagine aspects of daily life with the use of color. We welcome artists from all backgrounds to participate and take advantage of this opportunity to let color take center stage. Join us as we explore the dynamic role of color in the world! Enter for the chance to win cash prizes and a solo exhibition here at Sitar Arts Center.

One of the most robust residency programs of this nature in the country and serving as a national model, HARP provides a commission, developmental support, career planning, and an opportunity for a full production to hybrid artists within a collaborative environment of peers working across disparate art forms – including theatre, dance, music, puppetry, visual art, and new media. HARP provides significant long-term support, as well as at least $50,000 in cash and $50,000 in space, equipment, and services over 2-3 years to tailor each residency to each artist’s individual needs.

With a focus on early career BIPOC artists, this program offers studio and creation space, technical resources, training, and mentorship to a small cohort for the exploration, development, and expansion of their practice and a new artwork. The lab culminates in a series of in-process studio showings that invites our community into a conversation about process and innovation. Artists are required to be local in New York City and prepared for all in-person activities.
