Call for Entries - Re-inventing the Portrait through Color, Form, and Composition

The portrait is a powerful medium through which artists explore emotion, identity, and the essence of the human condition. Human Expressions invites artists to re-imagine and expand the boundaries of this traditional genre, encouraging the exploration of new ways conveying the complexities of human experience. This exhibit will be for works that capture the depth of human expression through innovative approaches to portraiture, focusing on the transformative use of color, form, and composition.

We are looking for artists who are eager to break away from conventional representations of the human figure and create bold, evocative portraits that explore psychological, emotional, and conceptual facets of human identity. Whether through abstracted forms, unconventional color palettes, dynamic compositions, or mixed media, we encourage the use of any technique that can convey the intricacies of human expression in a compelling way. Any original 2D or 3D work that follows our exhibition guidelines will be considered. This includes works selected by the juror which will be exhibited in Maryland Federation of Art’s (MFA) Human Expressions Exhibition through our Virtual Gallery from April 15 – June 14, 2026.
