From the grace and beauty of the human figure to the personal detail of a portrait, Humankind aims to capture the human experience through the physical form. Humankind will explore not only depictions of the human body through traditional portrayals but also art that represents the human condition and the essentials of existence: emotions, mortality, struggles and triumphs among the myriad of experiences all of humankind encounters.

This is exhibition is open to all media and all entries are due Monday, May 10, 2016. Juror Eric Wieringa, St. Louis artist and instructor, will select all the pieces in the exhibition. Humankind will open Friday, June 24 and close Friday, August 5. Three awards will be given at Humankind’s opening reception, two $200 juror’s choice awards and a $500 or Going Solo exhibition juror’s choice award. Calls for entry are available online at foundryartcentre.org or at the Foundry Art Centre, located at 520 North Main Center in St. Charles, Missouri.
