Pink Open Call

Clark County Public Art is excited to invite you to apply to our newest open call, Pink. This color was named after the flower, Dianthus plumarius, commonly known as a garden pink in 1566. Before that, it was a verb in similar meaning to the word wink or blink. It has been associated with both young masculinity and femininity while also carrying the meanings of bravery, courage, resistance, violence, and power throughout its historically genderless existence. Pink comes in different shades, hues, and intensities. We invite artists to explore the weight that this color carries. Artworks, of any mediums, should be predominantly pink in all its different iterations.

Submission deadline: Sunday, May 18, 2025, at 11:59 p.m.

The exhibition will be juried by Lolita Develay. Based in Las Vegas, Nevada, and born in Pearblossom, California, she is a painter and artist whose chromatic paintings are integrated with statements on access and social values. Develay’s oeuvre embodies a dynamic blend of geographical influences, cultural intersections, and social consciousness. With themes of beauty, sexuality, race, and spirituality, Develay’s work serves as a mirror to the complex state of American life. She received her Master of Fine Arts in painting from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 2014.
