The Huntington Beach Art Center (HBAC) is pleased to present its 2021 fall exhibition Scapes and Scope: Visions of the Land, Sea, and Urban Space, curated by Southern California landscape artist and teacher Jim Ellsberry. The invitational, juried exhibition  on view September 18 – October 23, 2021 explores the beauty and varied expressions of landscape in contemporary art.

Select artists will be invited to display original artworks in the Art Center’s 3000 sq. foot galleries located in downtown Huntington Beach, California. Traditional plein air and studio works anchor the exhibition, which invites viewers to explore both literal and stylized interpretations of land, sea and urban geography.

Accepted artworks will also be presented in online galleries hosted on the HBAC website. An exclusive virtual collection of works by noted international landscape artists – traditional and expressive – is planned to accompany the exhibition. Artists worldwide are encouraged to submit high quality, digital images of original artworks for jury consideration.

HBAC is located at 538 Main Street, Huntington Beach, California. Artists submitting artwork for gallery display are responsible for in-person artwork delivery and pick up. Low-contact reservations adhering to public health protocols are required. Mailed submissions will not be accepted. 

Online submissions open July 23 on the HBAC website. Maximum two entries per artist, $20.00 submission fee.
