Frederick Arts Council has opened a call to artists for an upcoming exhibition
The Frederick Arts Council has opened a call to artists for an upcoming exhibition, “Where Energy Meets Matter- Exploring the Frontiers of Science” in partnership with the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research.
The exhibition will run Nov. 20 through January 20, 2025, at Gallery 115 located inside of the Y Arts Center (115 E Church St, Frederick, MD 21701).
“Where Energy Meets Matter” invites artists to explore the dynamic interplay of art and science, celebrating the cutting-edge research and innovation happening at the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research and throughout Frederick. This exhibition seeks work that captures the essence of energy and matter—whether through explorations of physics, biology, or the unseen forces that shape our universe. Artists keep 60% of the sales of their work.
Some of the world’s most significant advancements in science occur in Frederick County, where the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research utilizes world-class technology at the Advanced Technology Research Facility (ATRF) and in labs on Fort Detrick, among other locations. The scientists there produce images that reveal biological structures at the atomic level. They are improving genome editing and creating instructive cancer diagnostics from liquid biopsies, modeling the structure and function of human organs in tiny dishes, developing digital twinning, which involves the creation of a dynamic virtual representation of one’s physicality—and so much more. We invite interested artists to review some project case studies attached to this Call to learn more about the work at the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research.
Submission Guidelines: artists must submit up to 2 pieces per artist in JPEG or PNG format; links for video or interactive media, an artist statement up to 250 words describing how your work relates to the theme, and a resume and/or bio. Artists are welcome to submit existing work that fits with the theme of science or can consider creating new pieces that dovetail with the insights and work being explored at the National Laboratory, particularly as expressed in the attached case studies.
Applications must be submitted via SlideRoom through November 5th, 11:59p p.m.
