CALL FOR ENTRY:
East Meets West
Juried Art Exhibition for
My Medicine Part 4
6.18.2017—9.18.2017
Deadline for entries April 26, 2017
Eligibility and Media
This international exhibition is open to any artist 18 years of age or older.
East Meets West is a juried art exhibit which looks at the differences and similarities between these two views on healing. Eastern healing has largely been seen as mystical and natural based on 1000’s of years of tradition and experience that at times has trouble incorporating new ideas. Western healing is seen as more scientific with strong roots in a body/mind focus that at times excludes any healing that is found “outside” the body. Galaudet Gallery sees both these systems as integral to 21st Century healing and that neither is restorative without the other. Globally this has been seen as a merging of these two traditions into a more personalized approach to medicine.
Artworks larger than 5 feet in any direction or weighing more than 100 pounds are ineligible. Maximum of 3 artworks may be submitted per artist.
All fine arts media are acceptable including: watercolor, drawing, pastel, painting, sculpture, mixed media, photography, digital art, etchings, monotype, monoprint, silk screen, lithography, collagraph, fiber art, book arts, etc. Feel free to contact the gallery at galaudetgallery@gmail.com with any questions. We look forward to seeing your work!

Exhibition Theme
This last installment of our My Medicine Art Series ends with an internationally juried art show which brings Eastern Medicinal ideas into our Western perspective.
Chakra art, Ayuredic art, Alternative Medicine art, Nature-as-healer art and other types of art that has inspiration in healing modalities and ways of health are sought for Galaudet Gallery’s East Meets West Art Exhibit.
East Meets West looks at the differences and similarities between these two views on healing. Eastern healing has largely been seen as mystical and natural based on 1000’s of years of tradition and experience that at times has trouble incorporating new ideas. Western healing is seen as more scientific with strong roots in a body/mind focus that at times excludes any healing that is found “outside” the body. Galaudet Gallery sees both these systems as integral to 21st Century healing and that neither is restorative without the other. Globally this has been seen as a merging of these two traditions into a more personalized approach to medicine.
This call seeks artwork that looks at both Eastern and Western ways of health and healing. An introduction to the Ontological Chakras will be a part of this exhibit and the seven ontologicals will be presented as well as the seven consciousness chakras that most people know. So chakra art is strongly encouraged.
