This exhibition explores the dynamic intersection between artistic expression, the visual language of mass production, and how artists have embraced, and critiqued consumer culture through bold imagery, commercial aesthetics, and accessible storytelling.

Art and Mass Culture will feature works including pop art, comic books, and manga-inspired art. By blurring the lines between high art and media from popular culture, these genres challenge traditional hierarchies in the art world, reflecting the influences of advertising, entertainment, and everyday life on contemporary visual culture.

All entries must be submitted digitally through ArtCall. Visit the call for entry page for comprehensive submission guidelines.

This exhibition draws inspiration from the natural world, close observations, reveries that unfold, or images conjured from that peaceful place induced by time spent outdoors.

Abstracting Nature will showcase interpretive, expressive, abstract, or semi-abstract art and photography that begins with nature.

Images will explore the broadest meaning of home. Not just the structure but where our selected photographers feel seen.

The many versions of home could be images of physical space, objects that unlock feelings of home, connections to homeland or emotional states. A captured still of people preparing food together, celebrating a birthday, or of what stirs memories of childhood, such as fireflies, thunderstorms or a barbeque.

Artists employ techniques to create visual elements that are uniquely theirs. Brushstrokes on canvas, dashes in ink or graphite, or incised lines – all just strokes that are theirs.

These shapes and patterns can not only create rhythm, but lines can drive the viewer’s eye. While some of the dabs of paint, brush-marks, or patterning are conscious, much mark-making is accidental or unconscious. Bring on your strokes.

Chromo-therapy, or color therapy, uses colors to promote well-being and healing. Red, orange and yellow are thought to actually stimulate dopamine effects. Whereas, calming blue is considered peaceable.

Others ascribe green as having energizing effects, yellow as uplifting, and purple as healing. This unique exhibition, an exploration in color-use for the good, brings together artworks that convey resilience and healing through color.
