About the Open Call

What does the phrase “Winter in America” conjure up in your mind? Robert Frost's Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening? Or perhaps the more metaphorical, dystopian view from poet Gil Scott Heron of a period of frozen dreams, frozen ideas, and frozen inspiration? Or a cultural decline, political malaise or chilling of free speech? University of Bridgeport's Schelfhaudt Gallery is seeking artists' interpretations for this themed exhibit. Multiple media, painting, poetry, sculpture, video formats will be accepted. The gallery can accommodate larger pieces of work.
