SUMMARY:Entry Deadline for 2025 VAS Fall Member Show - August 25
DESCRIPTION:Put August 25 on your calendar – it is the deadline for entering our member show that will run from September 5-26 at Degallery! The theme is “Ciaroscuro: The Interplay of Light and Shadow.” The call for art can be found HERE! \nVisual artists have been using the interplay of light and shadow for hundreds of years. One only needs to look at paintings by masters such as Vermeer\, da Vinci\, Goya\, Caravaggio\, Reubens\, Rembrandt\, or Raphael\, to see the power of this style to produce 3 dimensional forms and enhance the illusion of depth . Although chiaroscuro is usually interpreted as having very strong contrasts between light and shadow\, for this show\, artists are challenged to highlight the interplay more generally; examples could be the emphasis of rough textures\, using strongly contrasting colors\, or dark subjects against a light background (the reverse is equally valid). Show us how you use light and shadow to tell your story\, or direct the viewers’ attention. \nWe know many of our members are not familiar with chiaroscuro\, but it is a part of our VAS mission to help our members grow as artists. \nVisit our post for more information on chiaroscuro.

SUMMARY:Deadline Extended to Aug 25th for VAS Members Show "Aqua Vita"
DESCRIPTION:Aqua Vita\, the water of life\, has many meanings. Water is its physical form (solid\, liquid\, gas) but is also a symbol of new beginnings\, transformation\, cleansing\, renewal and hope\, and a symbol for change. \nAll members are invited to submit entries. Deadline has been extended to August 25th.  Click HERE for entry details. It is easy to become a member of VAS – click HERE! \nThe general theme is water: the physical entity of water in all its forms\, but you can also think of the symbolism of water. It can represent the change that we experience in our own lives\, as we grow and mature. It can also represent the change that we see in the world around us\, as the environment changes and evolves. Water is a reminder that change is a natural part of life. It is something that we cannot control\, but it is something that we can embrace. Change can be scary\, but it can also be exciting. It can be a time of new beginnings\, new opportunities\, and new challenges. Water is a powerful symbol of change\, and it can help us to understand and embrace the changes that are happening around us. (partially written by Bard AI)
