About Call for Submissions: Renewal
Submission Deadline: April 26, 2025
Melt Studio + Gallery is located just outside Picton in a historical air force barrack at the newly developed Base31, Prince Edward County’s vibrant new cultural destination. The gallery is managed and run by Canadian encaustic artist Susan Wallis and is the home to her encaustic working studio. The gallery’s mandate is to foster and enhance public awareness, understanding, and appreciation for the positive cultural significance of the visual arts by showcasing all levels of visual artists and artisans in their exhibitions.
Renewal:
“And suddenly you know: it’s time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.” — Meister Eckhart
As winter gives way to spring—snow melting, days stretching longer, light returning—we invite artists to explore RENEWAL in our annual Spring exhibition.
This season of transformation is both external and internal. Renewal appears in the natural world and in ourselves: in fresh starts, evolving perspectives, and the quiet energy of change.
In the medium of your choice, interpret rebirth, growth, and transformation. Your work may reflect awakening landscapes, the renewal of the human spirit, the evolution of ideas, or the emergence of something unexpected.
We welcome submissions that embrace renewal in all its forms and celebrate the promise of new beginnings.
No size limitations, but we strongly encourage artists to submit a range of sizes.
There is a $25.00 non-refundable administrative fee to submit a maximum of 3 pieces. The submission fee can be sent via e-transfer to susanwallis@kos.net upon submission.
All works must be for sale and if sold are subject to 40% commission.
