Call for Art

FAA member artists are invited to submit entries for an exhibit at our gallery in downtown Frankfort.

14 Hickory Street Unit 14B

Frankfort, IL 60423

(NW corner of Nebraska and Hickory)

Mark-making refers to the different lines, dots, marks, patterns, and textures we create in an artwork. It can be loose and gestural or controlled and neat. It can apply to any material on any surface: paint on canvas, ink or pencil on paper, a line carved in clay, or a digital paint tool on a screen. This exhibit will highlight the unique marks made by our member artists.

• Most subjects, styles, and techniques will be accepted, from realistic to abstract – figures, landscapes, architecture, animals, design, observations, inventions, transformations, symbols, etc.
