DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: March 22nd at midnight
Selected artists notified: March 27th
Submissions are open to artists working in any medium.
Show title: ‘Nitty Gritty’
“In a world of curated personas and distorted perspectives, authenticity becomes a rare treasure. Shaped by the allure of technology, our identities blur amidst the digital deluge. Navigating cultural confusion and the paradoxes of our current culture, introspection becomes imperative. Amidst the turmoil, self-awareness emerges, prompting us to question the facades we present. In acknowledging societal facades, we confront uncomfortable truths, peeling back layers of illusion to embrace the unfiltered chaos of reality.”
When considering the theme in your submission, it is more important how it relates to you and your work personally. The theme serves not as a strict guideline, but as a prompt open to interpretation.
In your submission please include:
- Photos of up to 5 artworks
- A short artist statement
- Your website, instagram, and any other relevant links
The show will take place from June 1st through 9th at Lenora Pousland Studios and Gallery, a DIY gallery run by myself. Since it is a privately owned studio there is no submission fee, and no commission is taken from any sold artworks.
