15th Annual Patricia Sitar Arts Center Juried Exhibition
 

 

Sitar Arts Center welcomes artists to submit original artwork for the 15th Annual Patricia Sitar Juried Exhibition: “Reflections.”  

For nearly 25 years, Sitar Arts Center has been offering high-quality and affordable arts education to children, teens, and young adults from every Ward of Washington, DC. Sitar removes financial and cultural barriers to arts education and career training and believes everyone should have access to quality arts education.  

Established in 2010, this annual juried exhibition honors Sitar’s namesake and deepens the Center’s commitment to fostering a creative community of learning and belonging. It provides emerging artists with a valuable platform to showcase their work and engage with an audience that celebrates the transformational power of the arts. 

THEME: REFELECTIONS  

“Reflections” is a journey into perception and introspection. We invite you to create a piece mirroring reality or imagination. This exhibition is your opportunity to show us what reflections mean to you and how they represent where you stand or your direction in life. Whether it is a literal or metaphorical meaning, explore the theme of reflections.   

 Think about the moments in your life that have caused you to reflect deeply, the aspects of your surroundings that mirror your inner thoughts, or how your imagination shapes reality. Ask yourself: How do past experiences reflect on your present self? Do your interactions with others reflect who you are or aspire to be? Share your creation and allow others to see the world through your reflective lens. 

ELIGIBILITY 

• Local, national, and international artists ages 16 and up. Artists must be at least 16 by the date of their submission.
