Miriam Hoffmann is a contemporary mixed-media portrait artist who lives and works in Atlanta, GA. No stranger to capturing images, she had a business in photography, but circled back to painting and drawing during the pandemic. In a short period of time she has become widely recognized through social media for her experimentation with the human form and her skill at interpreting faces in a uniquely elegant and soulful way. She is represented by Arcadia Comtemporary Gallery in New York City and also teaches through Patreon.
Please let the Exhibition Chair know which day you plan to drop off, and if you need to send your artwork. No entries may be shipped to the venue, but arrangements may be made for shipment. Instructions for shipping will be sent along with a Transport and Release Form upon acceptance.
All shipping expenses and insurance are the responsibility of the artist. Uline or FedEx art packaging with the art floating between soft foam is strongly recommended. Please consider whether or not you will be able to ship your artwork to and from the show prior to entering the show.
All works must be delivered and picked up, either by the artist or authorized representative, within stated times at Callanwolde Fine Arts Center. Finalists must make their own arrangements for hand delivery and hand pickup of their work from the venue. Artists are required to notify the Exhibition Chair if an authorized representative is picking up artwork on their behalf. Authorized representatives will need to provide identification at pickup. Works submitted to any PSA show MUST be displayed for the duration of the show – no substitutes and no early removal. Please inform your client of the dates for which a borrowed work will be on view.
