Two upcoming opportunities for artists
Submit Your Artwork to Brushwood
CALL FOR ART: At Ease In Nature
Brushwood Center invites artists in all media and of all levels with a US Military background (current service member, veteran, or their immediate family members or caregivers) to submit their work for consideration in our upcoming exhibition, “At Ease In Nature.”
In 2015, Brushwood Center began its At Ease initiative, offering programs for Veterans, Service Members and their families designed to empower their wellbeing through nature-based art, music, and photography workshops. The only program in the region offering a nature-based approach, At Ease helps build skills in creative expression and provides Veterans with access to mental health support. Through this exhibition, we will feature work created during our At Ease programs, as well as work inspired by experiences in nature from other members of this community.

Brushwood Center at Ryerson Woods is looking for Artists and Artisans to sell their work at our 8th annual Nature-Inspired Holiday Market. The market will start with a 7-day online sale, Saturday, November 30th – Friday, December 6th followed by a 2 day in person sale at Brushwood Center on Saturday & Sunday, December 7-8, 2024. Artists do not need to be present during the in-person sale (we handle everything from set-up to shipping), though volunteering is highly encouraged. Items may include but are not limited to: fine art prints or small original artwork, notecards, jewelry, accessories, personal care items, functional objects for the home or garden, decorative items, toys, artisanal food items, ornaments and holiday related decorations and items. THE MAJORITY OF YOUR WORK MUST IN SOME WAY BE RELATED TO NATURE AND/OR THE ENVIRONMENT (subject matter, materials used, function, etc.), but we encourage a wide variety of styles, media and interpretations of that theme. Please note this is a curated show, and artists will be selected upon the basis of quality of work, relationship to theme, and how their items fit with other artists and items in the show. This is an open call – feel free to share this with anyone you feel might be interested!
