For our annual JCAL Open Call exhibition, Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning is seeking submissions of original artwork by Queens-based visual artists. All visual media is encouraged.

Theme: There is a certain rhythm that many of us feel; a groove that makes life worthwhile. What elements in the world add value and purpose to help you move? This exhibit will demonstrate the various artistic expressions of "keys" in one's life. What is your Key of Life?

This exhibition is open to all artists over the age of 13. Participating artists under 18 must have written consent from a parent or legal guardian. All artists will be compensated with a stipend of $250 and will have the opportunity to sell their work over the course of the exhibition. https://jcal.submittable.com/submit/306995/jcal-open-call-2025-key-of-life
