The Vision Gallery and Gallery at CCA invite artists to submit work for the Summer 2021 exhibition: Take a Hike. As the pandemic gripped the nation in 2020, people of all different backgrounds searched for ways to safely venture out of the house and take a break from the pressures of daily life. One activity that allowed people in the Phoenix Valley and beyond to social distance and exercise at the same time was to hit the trails. While more experienced hikers may have sought out new trails or new ways to engage with familiar areas, more novice hikers were also able to safely and respectfully enjoy longer adventures with the help of education materials that were widely shared. For this exhibition, the Chandler Galleries invite artists to share their appreciation and experiences of hiking the myriad trails across Arizona and further afield. Artists are welcome to submit any type of work – some examples include: drawings of flora and fauna, an illustrated map of a favorite trail, or even signage promoting respectful hiking. Whatever the medium, the Vision Gallery hopes this exhibition will foster a love and appreciation for the parks, forests, and waterways that constitute our public lands.

Exhibition-ready works in two or three dimensions will be accepted, as well as video. The gallery will also consider proposals for performance-based work. Each artist is allowed to submit up to five artworks for the $5 submission fee. Please read the complete information about this call for work below, and then complete the online submission form and pay the submission fee.
