Call Description: Heidi Gallery at JSDD is proud to announce the  juried exhibition, Teal Me Now-2026. The gallery is committed to showcasing the highest quality visual art created by established, emerging, and underrepresented artists. Established in 2021 as a key component of the state-of-the-art facility of JSDD, Heidi Gallery is focused on bringing artists and the public together to experience creativity and the arts while fostering a fully inclusive community. 
Teal Me Now:A play on words for this chameleon of a color that plays tricks on the eyes and pulls at the heart strings when creating mood and nuance. Encountered in scenes both organic and highly constructed.
Teal…the perfect fusion between blue and green brings freshness, calm and restoration to all who encounter it. Looking for work that brings teal out to play in both subtle and obvious ways…infecting each piece with the quiet power of this shade.
