For The Yellow Show Open Call, Yellow Studio invited women artists working across all media to submit work that engages with yellow in unexpected ways.

Yellow defies simple meaning. It signals joy and caution, abundance and decay, clarity and hazard. It's sacred gold and rubber gloves, daffodils and taxi cabs.

This open call invited artists to investigate yellow in all its complexity: as pigment, symbol, cultural signifier, emotional landscape, and more.

What does yellow mean to you? What does it reveal? Come see for yourself, from February 27 to May 10. 

Yellow Studio invites women and non-binary artists to submit three-dimensional work for Hold — an exhibition of vessels and objects. We are looking for work that physically contains, encloses, or surrounds. Bowls, vases, mugs, urns and beyond. Forms built to receive something, or to keep it in.

We welcome work in any material: ceramics, glass, metal, wood, resin, found objects, and combinations. The form is the focus. What the object holds — and how it holds it — is up to you.*

*The submitted vessels and objects must be empty. 

Submissions Open: Wednesday, April 1

Submissions Close: Sunday, April 12
