Curator: Cindy Erickson
Deadline for Entries: March 1, 2026
Exhibition: April 10-30, 2026
It is important that you read all the instructions below:
Liggett Studio is seeking entries in all media:
That explore the idea of flowers in a creative, non-traditional manner. All work must include either a flower, florals or the suggestion of such, but may include any other items in the artwork. Both realism and non-realistic ideas are acceptable. The curator is seeking artwork that utilizes either unusual media or portrays florals in an unexpected way. (The traditional still-life is not what we are seeking for this exhibit)
All works must be available for sale but must not have been shown within a 100 mile radius of Tulsa. Visual artwork must be no larger than 36” x 48” due to space limitations.
This is a national exhibit but the artist will be responsible for shipping or delivery costs to and from the gallery.
Entries should be submitted by the deadline of March 1, 5:00pm, 2026 and will be juried via online entries, so good photography is expected. If accepted, all 2 dimensional artwork must be framed before delivery to the gallery. If the work is different from the digital submission, the Director has to right to not accept the work. Artists may enter up to 3 artworks per entry form with an entry fee of $10 each to defray costs. 2 artworks will be $20. 3 artworks will be $30.
Photo files must be 1-4MB and jpg format with the file name the same as last name of the artist and the tile of the artwork. Example: “Liggett – Plumbob1.jpg
This exhibition is open to all forms of expression that are original expressions including: performance, music, poetry, video, visual artworks and combinations of these.
All visual works must be for sale (with the exception of installation works) and must not have been shown within a 100 mile radius before the exhibit opens.

Juror: Our visual arts juror this year is Cindy Erickson who says about the kind of work she will pick for this show: I am interested in artwork that goes beyond the normal still life representation of flowers and shows out of the ordinary ways of seeing this common theme of “the flower.”
ABOUT THE CURATOR:
Cindy Erickson is an artist and art educator who has spent her lifetime exploring various subject matter and different media. But she always returns to flowers and botanicals because they exhibit so much variety of color, form and interconnection. A Realisism artist by nature, she has recently been exploring more loose, abstracted collages to include even more texture into her pieces.
