A juried exhibit
Call for Artwork
Deadline: May 18 at 5 PM
Exhibit Dates: July 10 – September 14, 2025
If we can count on nothing else, we can count on the natural occurrence of growth. All things—living, conceptual, and beyond—are bound to change and evolve into something new. Transformation is inevitable.
In celebration of the Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center’s 30th anniversary, The World is Astonishing with You in It invites artists to submit photography, printmaking, drawing, painting, or 2D mixed media that captures transformation in all its forms. From the resilience of nature and the evolution of family and community to the unfolding journey of creative practice, we seek artwork that reflects the beauty, struggle, and profound moments of change that shape our lives.
For three decades, the Cultural Arts Center has been a space where artists, audiences, and the community have grown together. As we mark this milestone, we encourage submissions that not only explore transformation but also consider how art spaces like the Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center play a role in personal and collective change. How does your work reflect growth in the everyday, the extraordinary, and everything in between?
