Running January 24 – February 28\, 2026\, this year’s call is broadly themed around boundaries\, interpreted in the widest sense.

Proposals that speak to the theme will be prioritized\, and we welcome broad and unexpected interpretations. \nSubmission guidelines: \n– Open to artists over 18\, working in all mediums\, who are not currently enrolled in a degree-granting program. \n– A non-refundable submission fee of $30* for up to five images representative of work for the exhibition. \n– The selected artist will be juried by the members of TSA GVL. \n– All artwork submitted must be completed and ready to hang or install. \n– Submissions must be completed by the deadline for consideration. \nImportant Dates: \n– Deadline: October 10\, 2025 \n– Exhibition Dates: January 24 – February 28\, 2026 \n– Install Dates: January 13 – 23\, 2026 \n– Deinstall Dates: March 1 – 3\, 2026 \n– Artist Reception: First Friday\, February 6\, 2026\, 6 – 9 pm \n*Your submission fee directly contributes to the operating expenses for our volunteer-run non-profit art organization.

SUMMARY:Call for photography subjects: Furman Senior Seminar LGBTQ+ Project
DESCRIPTION:My name is Alex Aradas\, and I am a senior double major in Studio Art and Politics at Furman. As part of my studio seminar this fall\, I’m working on a political photography project\, and I want to connect with LGBTQIA+ community members who are interested in being photographed. \nMy photography project explores themes of Queerness\, politics\, and resilience through portraiture and still life. The portraits will feature individuals\, couples\, and groups\, each accompanied by a personal object of significance. Participants are encouraged to bring something meaningful\, invite others if they wish\, and select a location that evokes joy\, safety\, or comfort. By allowing participants to choose a space\, objects\, and people that have meaning to them\, the project emphasizes both personal and collective representation. In the exhibition space\, these images will be placed in dialogue with anti-LBGTQ+ political quotes and policies from the Trump administration and other figures in power. Through this project\, my goal is to confront anti-LBGTQ+ sentiment\, challenge viewers to reflect on the futures shaped by such voices\, and affirm the strength\, visibility\, and resilience of the Queer community.
