For this exhibit, artists are asked to submit works of art that are inspired by the antique quilt collection at the Montclair History Center. We are defining inspiration broadly to include a shape, a color, a process, materials, or even a reaction to words that describe a quilt or the women who made them and their place in society. Please note: Existing artwork that fits this theme may be submitted for this call.

Pictures and descriptions of the quilts are available on Studio Montclair’s website, and a selection will be on display at the Crane House and Historic YWCA in Montclair during the months of April and May (Wednesday afternoons at 1 and by appointment). 

Open Orange is an annual juried exhibit show open to NJ, NYC, and PA area artists, 18 and over, working in two-dimensional media.

It is our flagship art exhibition, designed to showcase both emerging and mid-career artists in Orange and the surrounding region. Each year, we invite independent jurors to select the work to be exhibited as well as the Best in Show winner.

Artists, 18 years and over, may submit 1, 2 or 3 works maximum. Jury selection is based on individual pieces of the artist's submission. Artwork size should be no larger than 36" by 36", oversized pieces will not be considered for the show.
