CALL FOR ARTISTS
Signal Fires is a juried exhibition that invites artists to express interest in the wider world through their art, and to share their work with fellow creatives in a supportive environment. ANY media or subject matter will be considered. However, we strongly encourage the submission of work that addresses the most urgent political and social justice issues of our day. To that end, one guest-juror's prize of $50 will be awarded to one politically-themed piece.
Eligibility: this exhibition is open to any artist who can hand-deliver (or can have someone else hand-deliver) their accepted work to the gallery.
DEADLINE MARCH 1st! How to enter: Each artist may submit up to three works for consideration, the flat fee is $10 total. Please email a clear image attachment for each work, along with title, dimensions, media, and price (or NFS). You may also include a BRIEF statement about each artwork submitted. Send your email to mona.gazala@gmail.com
Payment of the $10 entry fee should be made via Venmo at the handle @Mona-Gazala, or sent as a gift payment to the PayPal account of mona.gazala@gmail.com
Gazala Projects will make every effort to accept at least one piece per artist for exhibition, but this is NOT a guarantee.
​
Delivery is by appointment from March 7-12.

The Gazala Projects studio, located at 101 East Main Street in Gettysburg, Ohio, is an arts and culture space with a curatorial focus on contemporary Palestinian American artists and other artists of color. This studio is the brick-and-mortar manifestation of PARC (Postcolonial Art and Research Center), which has been an ongoing part of Mona Gazala's artistic practice.
While most of the time the studio space is Gazala's personal work area, 2-3 times per year it will feature solo exhibitions, curated group exhibitions, traveling art projects from guest curators, and archival PARC exhibits. The building also houses a curated selection of new and used books which visitors are welcome to browse anytime. Open by appointment or as posted on Instagram at @gazalaprojects
Inquiries about collaboration ideas or uses of the studio space by local artists or organizations are welcome. Literary, performance, art, historical, educational, community-engaged or social justice projects will be considered, especially those that are local to Darke, Miami, Randolph, or Montgomery Counties. See "about" page for email.
