Our next call for art is live at The Pearl Works! It was so much fun to curate our current installation with Emerging Artists' Alliance that we're going to do it again. Selected art will be exhibited at The Pearl Works for 6 months. Submission deadline is August 1, 2022.

The theme for this exhibition will be In Situ. "In situ" means something in its original, existing, or natural place or position. It is also used to describe a piece of artwork that has a direct relationship to the place where it is created and displayed.

This will be a juried exhibition of emerging artists from across Monterey County, using any medium that the space may accommodate. Accepted works will center on themes of belonging in one's community, hyperlocality, and the relationship between something and its original or indigenous place. Large submissions are encouraged (max size: 40" x 50")

Please create your artist profile here to begin the application process. Questions? DM us on Instagram.

The Pearl Works is a community co-working space located at 288 Pearl Street in Downtown Old Monterey.
