STILL LIFE 2025
JUROR: CIAR O’MOHONY
EXTENDED DEADLINE: Midnight, Sunday, June 29, 2025
Be part of our online autumn 2025 exhibition and ‘art book’.
All selected STILL LIFE works will be included in an online slideshow, with a playlist and a downloadable PDF publication.
For this CALL FOR ENTRY, the Aird is enlisting contemporary artists’ vibrant interpretations of the STILL LIFE genre. All pieces, be they created using paint, mixed media, collage, photography, sculpture, and/or new media that reflect on this art-historical reference and how it appears as a stand-in for nature or an analysis of culture, will be considered. The intent of this call is to bring together a large array of works that encourage a rethinking of the traditionally narrow definition of ‘still life’.
