PORTALS
Juried Photo Exhibition at Summit Artspace on Tusc
September 28-November 16
A portal is a way into, out of, or between places, people, or things. A doorway, a gate, a knothole, a tunnel, a tear in fabric, a window, an incision. These are all portals, both literally and metaphorically, that frame, isolate, reveal, or add a new dimension to the image. For this show we are looking for photographs that use these devices and others to create arresting and thought-provoking images. People may or may not be included in these photographs. All capture methods and processes are welcome.

Poe’s Garden
Oct 18 – Nov 9, 2019
Call for Literary Art
Edgar Allan Poe—his writings, mystique, life and death—has inspired visual and literary art across the globe for over a century. Summit Artspace often sees among local artists a fascination with the mysterious, unearthly, Gothic, and grotesque.
Poe’s Garden is a new exhibit that invites artists from Summit, Portage, Cuyahoga, Medina and Stark counties to submit high-quality literary art that investigates the wide-ranging potential of written words to thrill and astonish, to awaken delight and dread in the viewer or listener.
The accepted work will be the artist’s creation of new, mysterious, or secret realms that offer fantasies of the unknown or distortions of the known, that explore past, present, or futuristic realities through a creative yet skewed lens. Literary art will be judged on its power to sustain mystery, leaving the garden gate open to imagination, wonder, and even a little fear.
Written work must be submitted in a separate pdf file, typed and double-spaced.
Please do not include your name on this PDF file. Your work will be tagged to your name by Summit Artspace staff.
Poetry limited to 50 lines and short stories are limited to 1,000 words.
Judging is by blind jury. Submissions that include the author’s name or exceed the word/line count will be disqualified.
Deadline for Entry: September 23, 2019 Midnight or when we have received 200 entries
