Apply Call for Entries: Florida CraftArt x1000St. Petersburg, FloridaDeadline: June 7, 2026 Florida CraftArt presents x1000, a curated exhibition highlighting artists who work with duplicable processes such as mold‑making, printmaking, and other methods that allow ideas to be produced in multiples. The show brings together works that use repetition as both technique and concept, emphasizing how form and meaning evolve through iterative creation. Across the exhibition, subtle variations accumulate to reveal new interpretations. By exploring how repetition transforms an idea over time, x1000 invites viewers to consider the creative potential of multiplicity and the ways repeated forms can challenge assumptions about originality and artistic intent. This call has a $25 entry fee.

Resisting efficiency and resolution, the School of Art seeks immersion into the hum, the grain, the granular—work that cultivates attention through deceleration and degraded signals, work engaging slow, low, and no technology to open immersive states of flow. This call has a $15 entry fee.
