Patterns shape and give meaning to the world around us, which helps to create order and symmetry. Patterns are designs composed of repeated visual elements to give a sense of rhythm, harmony and movement in a composition. These ‘regular’ arrangements have been used in art for millennia, often to communicate a cultural or symbolic meaning.
Recognizing patterns and repetitions in the world is what gives a sense of order and control, intrigue and curiosity. Predictability makes humans feel secure, because our brain instinctively seeks order, predicts repetitions and recognizes patterns. 
Patterns describe essential relationships among the elements of systems, and serve as a powerful tool for handling and organizing complexity. The simple act of repeating the same unit over and over again creates new understandings and interpretation both for the artist and the viewer. 
We invite submitting artists to investigate how the repetition of units can create new understandings and interpretations by emphasizing structure, rhythm, while uncovering emerging relationships and revealing deeper meanings.

Additional Notes: 
The artist statement that is on your personal data page (email, phone number, etc...) is just a short information statement about you as an artist. This section only allows 200 words. It is a place for you to say something about yourself as an artist. There is an opportunity later in the submissions form to talk about what inspired you to create your individual submissions.For any sections that allow longer text we suggest writing it in a word document then cutting and pasting into ArtCall as the website times out in one hour. It is surprising how fast that can happen! Alternatively, be sure to update the submission frequently with the update button at the end of the page.We charge a $10 submission fee per art piece. Artists are allowed to submit up to 3 pieces. If you are accepted to the show, there is an additional $20.00 per piece hanging fee which ArtCall calls the 'booth' fee, and which you will have to pay to be entered properly in the show. Please use the drop down menu and request a 1x1x1 booth on the submission form. We charge 30% commission on art pieces sold.
There will be a Show Opening Celebration on Saturday, May 31st from 2pm - 4pm which is open to all, and especially to participating artists who are invited to briefly speak about their pieces in the show. That is also where the Guest Juror is introduced and invited to speak briefly about their own work and also the selection process/ notes relevant to the show. The three Juror's Choice Awards are presented towards the end of the event!
