Call for Art: The Gloaming - A Light and Art Trail at Pine Mountain Settlement School
We invite artists, makers, and creative practitioners to submit proposals for The Gloaming, a temporary light and art trail at the historic grounds of Pine Mountain Settlement School, a designated National Historic Site in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains. “The gloaming” describes the transformation of dusk and twilight. This exhibition will unfold along an outdoor trail, activating the landscape with site-responsive works that engage light, shadow, and atmosphere.
We are seeking works that respond to the land and its sensory dimensions at twilight. Projects that are immersive, and attuned to place are the highlights of what we are looking for. Installations will be experienced on foot as visitors move through the trail during dusk hours. We are especially welcome to proposals in, but not limited to:
light-based installation, sculpture, performance-based work, land art, and interdisciplinary practices. Selected artists will have the opportunity to exhibit work in a rare, historically significant Appalachian landscape with layered cultural and ecological narratives.
Guidelines:
Works must be suitable for outdoor installation and low-light conditions.
Installations should be safe and durable for the exhibition period.
Artists should consider environmental impact and accessibility in their proposals.
We are seeking thoughtful, resonant works that do not simply occupy space, but listen to it.
We look forward to your vision for The Gloaming.
Applications are now closed.
