SHOW PROSPECTUS
It’s a citrus summer at SCAA! We are looking for a high-energy splash into summer with this zesty blast of color. This exhibit features citrus fruits and tangy colors in all subjects and media to bring the freshness of summer into the gallery. From vibrant neon limes to sun-drenched oranges and textured lemon peels, we want to see your most colorful and “zesty” work!

About Freshly Squeezed: Citrus Summer: Submissions may range from literal depictions of citrus fruits and citrus themes to abstract works that capture the essence of the season through a tangy, citrus-inspired palette. While the theme is summer-inspired, all work must prioritize citrus subjects or the specific citrus color family (vibrant yellows, oranges, limes, and the ruby reds or soft pinks of grapefruit and pomelo). Artists must submit original work that is ready to hang using our installed hook/wire system, or suitable for display on provided pedestals or flooring. All 2D and 3D fine art mediums are welcome. No video or AI. Work must not have been shown at SCAA Gallery within the last 2 years to be considered.
