A Quiet Composition

August 1 - 30, 2025

Deadline to apply: June 28, 2025 at midnight

A Quiet Composition (emphasizes) balance, simplicity and a measured minimalistic approach in creating abstract art. A quiet composition might manifest itself through limited color palettes, simple shapes , and an emphasis on both the positive and negative spaces (surfaces). The spaces within the composition become as important as the content itself and encourages a deeper engagement from both artist and viewer, reflective of a visually meditative experience. Overall, a Quiet Composition is about finding beauty in simplicity, stillness and balance. Artists are encouraged to interpret A Quiet Composition broadly and in their own distinctive voice, using a variety of artistic mediums including: mixed media, painting, collage & photography.
