ASTORIA — Clatsop Community College has issued a call to artists for the 15th annual exhibition of “Au Naturel: The Nude in the 21st Century.”

The juried show is accepting art submissions in two-dimensional drawing, painting or printmaking media with a focus on the nude human figure. This year, a limited number of three-dimensional works may also be considered.

Laura Ross Paul, a Portland artist and teacher, is juror for the 2025 exhibit, which will run Jan. 23 to March 13 at the Royal Nebeker Art Gallery. A reception is planned for Feb. 20.

Submissions are open to artists 18 and over through Nov. 29. There is a $45 fee to submit up to three images, plus $5 for each additional image up to a maximum of 15.

Awards of up to $2,000 will be offered to exhibiting artists, plus the potential to be chosen for future shows and visiting artist workshops. To see work from previous “Au Naturel’ exhibits, visit www.aunaturelart.com.
