Art In City Hall issues a call to Philadelphia area artists for the summer exhibition in the historic public corridors of City Hall.

Jurors: The Art In City Hall Exhibitions Committee

Theme: Artists are invited to take a journey through their subconscious and share their visions and dreams in 2 and 3D media. Imagery reflecting the ephemeral, irrational, and non-linear qualities of dreams is encouraged, as well as that which reveals the fantastic and other-worldly desires and aspirations. This is an opportunity to leave reality behind and re-define perception.

Eligibility & Selection of Artists

Open to emerging and professional artists living or working in the Philadelphia area, including graduate students. Artists will be selected by an independent panel of arts professionals.

Media
Open to artists in all media. Artwork must comply with the dimensions of the display cases, which are 84” H x 94” W x 24”D.
