Call for Art: SOS 2025 Locavore Show “Sustenance”

SOS 2025 Locavore Show
April 28 – May 11, 2025
Neighborhood Produce, 691 Broadway, Ball Square
Exhibit Theme: “Sustenance”
Submission Deadline: Thursday, April 10, 2025

“Sustenance” is often considered to be a fancy word for food. It also extends beyond nutrition to encompass support and spiritual nourishment. In these difficult times in our country and our world, what sustains us?  What keeps us going physically and spiritually?

We will consider all artistic expressions of sustenance with a small show at the Ball Square Neighborhood Produce location that will be seen through the corner window at the intersection of  Broadway and Boston Ave. Submissions may be literal or symbolic, representational or abstract, painted, drawn, sculpted, photographic or multi-media. Submissions should not exceed 12”x12”x12” since the space is small.  This year, if anyone would like to provide a statement about what sustenance means to them in addition to their artwork, we will display that as well.

This is a closed call for artists that are registered for SOS 2025. Please note that this is a juried exhibition and not all submitted work will be accepted. 

Applicants’ work must be available from April 21-May 12.  Submission deadline is Thursday, April 10, 2025.

This year we are considering up to 3 submissions per artist.
