​Tales & Twilight: Call for Entries

​SCAA Members-Only Exhibition

As the season moves and grows towards fall, we invite you to explore themes of twilight, transition, mystery, and atmosphere. This OPEN THEME exhibition is designed to give our artists creative seasonal freedom on a short timeline. Whether your work captures the serene, quiet moods of changing seasons, dark and moody pencil drawings, folklore, or storytelling contemporary expressions - all subjects, styles, and mediums are welcome. 
​
While this show features an open theme, we ask that submissions harmonize with the atmospheric spirit of the season. We are looking for works that evoke a sense of mystery, folklore, and storytelling. Think of the magic that happens when daylight fades - rich palettes, deep shadows, cozy nostalgia, or serene, quiet moods. We encourage artists to steer away from high-summer aesthetics. Whether your style is abstract or representative, let your pieces tell a story wrapped in the unique ambiance of the twilight season.
