Contemporary Muslim Art CFA
CONTEMPORARY MUSLIM ART OF NORTH CAROLINA
Call Closes: January 13, 11:59PM
Notification: late January
Exhibition: February - May, 2024
From February - April 2024, VAE will be exhibiting the work of contemporary Muslim artists in an exhibition that will center, support, and uplift Muslim artists in the Triangle and the larger South. Through VAE’s open source and collaborative working model we seek to create an exhibition that not only brings awareness to the historical circumstances related to Muslim identity, but also celebrates the rich and diverse identities of Muslim people.
A team of steering committee members and VAE staff will review the applications in late winter.
The call for art closes on Saturday, January 13th at 11:59PM. Artists will be notified in mid-January. If you have any questions or request accommodations, please email Ant (ant@vaeraleigh.org). Please do not reach out about the status of your application. Applications that are incomplete will not be reviewed.
At this time we are only seeking submissions for artists based in North Carolina.

In January 2023, Kulsum founded Artist Ummah, a non-profit cultural arts organization for the Triangle Muslim-American community and beyond.

The higher up you go in the art world, the whiter and more masculine those getting paid are. Statistics show that the disparities that plague other industries, causing women to hear 80 cent to a man’s dollar, also lock women, and particularly women of color or and women with disabilities, out of opportunities to advance their creative careers. To do our parts to counteract these disparities, VAE and the National Humanities Center are dedicating our fall 2019 exhibition to a survey of female Southern artists. Reclaiming My Time is a juried exhibition featuring works by femme artists residing in the 11 states that comprise the regional South: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia.

CALL-FOR-ART: TACTILE
May 2016
DEADLINE EXTENDED: 11:59pm on Monday, April 11, 2016
WANT WE WANT
We want to exhibit work that can be experienced through more than just sight alone. This exhibition will invite visitors to go beyond looking at artwork and encourage them to use their senses of touch, smell, hearing, and event taste to experience each piece (with staff supervision and protective ware). Artists are encouraged to submit pieces that have interesting tactile features that visitors could touch, that have an element that entices the nose, that are auditory, or even have a component that visitors could taste. We are basically asking creative people to get creative! Each entry submitted must have at least one component that is can be experienced with your eyes closed.
This call-for-art is open to all multi-sensory media. For example:
- Paintings/mixed media 2D work: example - a painting with tactile texture that visitors can touch OR a painting of a particular subject i.e. bees, complimented by an audio recording of bees.
- Sculpture/pottery/3D work: example - a ceramic piece with a texture that visitors can touch OR a ceramic piece, exhibited with an additional clay sample of the texture on the finished piece, that visitors are allowed to handle.
- Video & flat 2D work with interactive features: example - a photograph that of a child eating a lollipop, and a box of lollipops, for gallery visitors to taste, exhibited alongside one another.
- Something else we didn't think of! Have an out-of-the-box idea? Run it by us! We love to try new things!
- Works with other sensory components (smell, sound,taste) will also be considered!
While this exhibition will, of course, give existing art patrons a new way to enjoy and appreciate art, one of the main goals of TACTILE is to further VAE's focus on including people with disabilities in the arts community. VAE will invite people with low vision or who are blind to experience the work during gallery hours or during specialized tours with Audio Description and/or American Sign Language.
Entries must fit through VAE’s 104″ x 71″ door to be exhibited. No media restrictions. Juried with JPEGs. Two entries per artist. Entries must be received by 11:59pm on Monday, April 11, 2016.
Tom Pursey
THE JUROR
Tom Pursey, Co-founder of Flying Objects, a London-based creative agency that won an IK Prize in 2015 for their multi-sensory exhibition Tate Sensorium at Tate Britain.
ABOUT TATE SENSORIUM
Can taste, touch, smell and sound change the way we ‘see’ art?
Tate Sensorium is an immersive display featuring paintings from the Tate collection. You can experience sounds, smells, tastes and physical forms inspired by the artworks, and record and review your physiological responses through sophisticated measurement devices.
The experience encourages a new approach to interpreting artworks, using technology to stimulate the senses, triggering both memory and imagination. On leaving, you will be invited to explore the rest of the gallery using the theme of the senses as a guide.
Tate Sensorium is the winning project of IK Prize 2015, awarded annually for an idea that uses innovative technology to enable the public to discover, explore and enjoy British art from the Tate collection in new ways.
ABOUT TOM
Prior to founding Flying Objects, Tom worked for Google in Europe, and lead Chrome and Brand marketing for Google in Asia. He holds a degree in English Literature from the University of Oxford. He's interested in interactive projects, the role of digital in the arts, and what happens when things come together in unlikely ways.

CALL-FOR-ART: Project Postcard
May 2016
ABOUT PROJECT POSTCARD
VAE is encouraging middle and high school students to participate in Project Postcard, a brand new expansion of the Young Artist Exhibition! While our previous Young Artist Exhibitions have been great successes, Project Postcard helps VAE include more students and is more closely aligned with our mission to encourage new ideas, new mediums and innovation. In today’s culture we so rarely mail things. This project will encourage students to think about the ways in which we communicate our creative ideas.
Teachers, students and parents are encouraged to request postcards using the form below. VAE will then send out the package of postcards. Middle and High School students will use the postcards as a base for their creative ideas, staying within the guidelines printed on the back. Using the First Class postage provided, the postcards will be mailed back to VAE and then exhibited in our storefront windows and additional arts venues in Downtown Raleigh.
We want to help students and their families experience the energy of First Friday and downtown Raleigh’s creative scene! It is an inspiring way to see all the people who support the arts and explore the many venues dedicated to exhibiting art in Raleigh. To make sure everyone experiences the big picture of the event, we have designed the project to be exhibited in different venues that are easily walkable, but will direct people to more than one gallery.
Check out some examples of postcard art, previous exhibitions, and possible venues!
This project encourages students to be CREATIVE, while working within RESTRICTION, and includes an element of CHANCE. Intriguing, no?
CREATIVE – There is no set subject matter, students may use any materials (other than buttons or string, sorry USPS rules!), and there is no correct way to make a great product for this project.
RESTRICTION – The United States Post Office has a few restrictions that students will have to stay within to insure that their postcard makes it through the mail. VAE will send First Class postage along with the postcard package, we ask that each student use no more than one stamp to mail their finished piece back to VAE. Finished works can be no thicker than 1/4″ and cannot weigh more than a can of soda.
CHANCE – The US Post Office will be a collaborator on each piece of artwork! Some elements of the artwork may not hold up as well to the mailing process as others. Some cards may be postmarked differently or in a different location than others. All of this will add additional interest to each piece!
The Secret Postcard Exhibition at The Royal College of Art, London
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
Teachers, students, or parents can use the form below to request one of three packages of postcards for any middle or high school student to participate.
Classwork Package – 30 postcards and 10 stamps
This is the perfect package for a teacher looking to have their entire class make art on postcards, select 10 pieces to be exhibited, and mail those pieces to VAE to be exhibited.
Side Project Package – 10 postcards and 10 stamps
A great package for sending postcards homes with students to use in their spare time or small art clubs.
Individual Package – 2 postcards and 1 stamp
Perfect package for any individual student or parent to request for a single student.

CURRICULUM CONNECTIONS
Project Postcard is designed to align with the North Carolina Essential Standards in Visual Arts competency goals: B.CX.1: understand the global, historical and cultural contexts of the visual arts and B.CX.1: understand the interdisciplinary connections and life applications of the visual arts, in particular A.CX.2.3 Understand the collaborative relationship between the artist and the community. The project’s public viewing component pushes students to use their work to communicate with a broader audience, and experience interdisciplinary art connections during the exhibitions. Further, Project Postcard allows students to see the effect of the location of the work (B.CX.1.5). The project allows for the exhibition of all media and encourage experimentation with new techniques for exhibition, which aligns with B.V.3: create art using a variety of tools. This project aligns with B.CX.2 in that it involved a collaborative processes and needs planning and problem solving skills for success. Further, participation in the exhibition and gallery walk will provide an opportunity for students to use critical analysis to generate responses to a variety of prompts B.CR.1.
