The Bristol Art Museum invites its members to submit artwork for the Museum’s 2025 Members Open Exhibition, Flights of Imagination, at Blithewold’s Visitor Center Gallery. This year’s theme encourages artists to explore the symbolism of birds, flight, and the sky through two-dimensional artwork. The exhibit will be on view from Sat., Mar. 29 through Sun., May 11, with an Artists’ Reception on Sunday, Mar. 30, from 2 to 4 p.m.

“From realistic depictions of avian life to abstract representations of boundless skies, Flights of Imagination provides an opportunity for artists to showcase their creativity in a stunning setting overlooking Narragansett Bay,” said Mary Dondero, Curator and Museum Board member. “Active members of the Bristol Art Museum are invited to submit one original two-dimensional artwork interpreting the exhibition’s theme. We look forward to hosting this members’ exhibit each year to showcase the depth of artistic talent found in the Museum’s community.” 

Flights of Imagination coincides with Blithewold’s outdoor sculpture exhibit by internationally renowned artists The Myth Makers, Donna Dodson and Andy Moerlein. Their avian-inspired sculptures, standing between 15 to 30 feet tall and made from bamboo and upcycled materials, bring a striking complement to this year’s theme.

​Call for Art Details: 

  • Online Submission Deadline: Midnight, March 15, 2025
  • Delivery of Artwork: Sunday, March 16, or Monday, March 17, between Noon and 3:00 PM at Blithewold’s Visitor Center
