Artist Notification 3/30/26
We invite you to submit work for consideration in our Drawing Rooms exhibit, “Duets Too”.
Want to be more connected with other good artists and exhibit your work with friends and meet new ones? Studies indicate that for many artists, working alone is a preferred and sometimes essential condition for deep creative focus, though it is often accompanied by the challenges of social and professional isolation. Artists require community, collaboration, and support, want their work reviewed by smart curators who find surprising connections and exciting relationships and have their work seen. If you identify with the above, this show is for you.
Acceptable media includes painting, drawing, printmaking, collage, photography, sculpture or any other fine art.
In keeping with our love of music, “Duets Too” is dedicated to the song “Just the Two of Us” by pop-singer Bill Withers. Withers is known for his baritone vocals and soul arrangements. He wrote some of the most covered songs of the 1970s including "Lean on Me", "Ain't No Sunshine”. "Just the Two of Us" is a classic 1981 soul/jazz fusion hit which highlights themes of love, companionship, and partnership. Withers has been widely sampled by hip hop and pop music artists, including Kendrick Lamar, Tupac Shakur, Jennifer Lopez and Aaliyah and more. “Just the Two of Us” has had a resurgence in recent years, generating many new cover versions.
Artists chosen will also be considered for our other programs, such as The Art Project JC lobbies and online Artsy.net exhibits throughout the year. Drawing Rooms will feature selected works from this exhibition for sale on Artsy.net
