(ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, NJ) -- The Atlantic Highlands Arts Council has announced an open call for "Touch/Hold" - a juried photography exhibit. The Entry Deadline is December 23rd, 2022 at midnight.

As we mostly resume our post-Covid lives, the joy of personal contact becomes apparent.  In addition, physical bonds can occur between humans, animals, trees and plants, inanimate objects or in combination.  They're looking for images that express touching, holding, literally, figuratively and imaginatively.

The jurors for the exhibit are Bruce Cohn and Gina Cioffi Loud.

The exhibit will run from January 14, 2023 through February 11, 2022 with an Opening Reception on Saturday, January 14th (6:00pm-8:00pm). Artists will be notified on January 3, 2023.

Artists may submit up to 3 works of art upon payment of one submission fee: $25 (AHAC members) and $35 (non-members).  Artists may download the prospectus here.

Over the years, new partnerships and creative programming has blossomed. AHAC presents rotating exhibitions in their main gallery and window displays; an ArtSHOP boutique for local arts, wares, and jewelry; adult art classes and workshops; free summer art camp for youth; free Art Kits for Kids to local elementary and middle schools; community events; and their annual international and award-winning FilmOneFest.
