GreenHill is seeking eight outstanding emerging artists from North Carolina for the juried exhibition Constant/Change. This exhibition will celebrate the wide range of artistic pursuits and formal excellence of North Carolina artists, with each of the final artists having over 500 square feet to showcase their work.
The Constant/Change series began in 1999 with Constant/Change: Statements from a New Generation of North Carolina Artists, a juried exhibition highlighting eight promising North Carolina artists and serving as a platform to launch their artistic careers. GreenHill revisited the concept in 2019 with Constant/Change II, which upheld the original mission of celebrating the vitality of North Carolina’s emerging artists. Now, for its third iteration, GreenHill invites submissions for the 2025 exhibition of Constant/Change III, continuing the tradition of showcasing exceptional talent and fostering the next generation of North Carolina artists.
SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW CLOSED. PLEASE SEND QUESTIONS TO CURATORIAL@GREENHILLNC.ORG
