CALL FOR ENTRIES: Woodstock Artists Association & Museum, (WAAM)
Woodstock, New York
Far & Wide National: Every Picture Tells a Story: a national open call exploring the
relationship between art and storytelling. We invite artists to submit works that reflect
the idea of storytelling, whether through abstract, emotional, or non-linear narratives.
We encourage all forms of storytelling, whether linear or not. Stories don’t have to follow
a conventional path—this exhibition is about how art evokes and conveys a narrative.
Submissions are welcome in any medium—painting, photography, sculpture, and mixed
media. We especially encourage works that incorporate sculpture or mixed media
elements, as they offer unique ways to tell stories beyond the two-dimensional.

ABOUT THE JUROR:
Melissa Stern is an artist and journalist living in NYC.
Melissa has worked in sculpture, photography and drawing for over twenty years, exhibiting throughout the U.S., as well as Europe and Asia. She has made a multi-media installation exhibition, The Talking Cure, that has been traveling to museums around the States since 2012. Her work is featured in a number of prominent corporate and museum collections including News Corporation, JP Morgan, The Arkansas Art Center, the American Museum of Ceramic Art, Racine Art Museum, and the Weisman Art Museum in Minneapolis.
With a background in anthropology, Melissa’s work reflects both non-Western and outsider-art influences. Her drawings, collages, and figurative sculptures are richly drawn and deeply layered, with quirky, often dark humor.

She served earlier as the principle art critic for The New York Press. She is a past Board Director of The Children’s Museum of the Arts in NYC, Watershed Center in Maine and contributing curator of the Human Rights Film Festival from 2008-2015.

Active Member Status is open to current Associate Artist Members of WAAM
Associate members of the WAAM may apply for or earn Active status in any of the 3 ways outlined below. Active members are artists who must reside within a 50 mile radius of Woodstock. Active members receive WAAM benefits of membership and have the opportunity to vote for and fill Active seats on the Board of Directors. Active members may participate in exhibitions reserved for Active members.
3 ways to become an Active member:
- Apply to Active Member Jurying twice annually (see details below for Spring 2025 dates)
- An artist whose work has been juried into four shows within a two year period.
- An artist has been selected for a solo exhibition.
A WAAM Associate Artist who wishes to attain Active Member status by applying online must submit 6 jpgs representing a body of work. Work will be reviewed by three jurors. Jurors are instructed to consider the competency of the artist applicants within the artist's chosen genre rather than making curatorial judgments based on personal taste. The process is not that of selecting an artist for a curated show but rather a professional evaluation that the artist is skilled at his or her way of making art. A collection of 6 original pieces that provide evidence of craftsmanship and artistic voice should be submitted online at this link: https://www.woodstockart.org/art-submission-calendar/.
The dates of application are April 8 - 29, 2025.
