Show us your...art, and we'll throw a show your way! All things New Orleans are game, from the grand carnivale to Bourbon Street Jazz (or Goth!) and your grandma's gumbo. This show is open to all members of EBSQ.
Is the art of still-life a dead art? Or does this centuries-old approach have a new relevence in the 21st century? What objects speak to our times? Or to you, the artist? Artists should explore the still life's place in contemporary art, looking at the objects we glorify, the compositions we contrive. Is still life painting purely an exploration in technique, or is there another layer of meaning f...

Show us the best (or the quirkiest) of your region--artists should bring forth their local icons, whether it's a place, an item, or a local yokel who screams "home" to you. EBSQ members are spread across the 50 states, Canada, Europe, and South America. Give us a slice of your local colours.

The X-Files are gone but not forgotten! Do you believe the truth is out there? Show us your best conspiracy art--whether inspired by Area 51, the grassy knoll, or Elvis working as an Elvis impersonator in Vegas. Just don't look behind you!

Writers have often taken their inspiration from great works of art. Artists, in turn, have given form to the poet's voice, often illustrating a favourite poet's book of verse. "Conversations" seeks to draw artists into a visual dialogue with the Dead Poet of th...
September brings EBSQ's first ever foray into the unknown realm of Spam & Trout. What will this show entail? Noone knows for sure, but be certain we'll see members liberally applying trout and spam (both the canned and digital varieties) to their art. Think Monty Python's Spam skit meets the Silly Fish Dance. The more surreal the better. Help us celebrate our second birthday by ...
Into Unconsciousness invites artists to reach into their depths and depict the images and themes that haunt them. The artist is limited only by her imagination and skill. One can explore madness, neuroses, archetypal fears, recurrent dreams & nightmares, and phobias that may seem silly to the outside eye, but evoke real fear for the individual. Whether it is global or personal is up to the artis...
