Charles Adams Gallery invites artists worldwide to submit flat, unframed, two-dimensional artwork for Priority: International Juried Exhibition, juried by Leslie Moody Castro. This open-themed exhibition embraces the full range of 2D practices—across media, scale, and intent—while emphasizing immediacy, material presence, and global exchange.

In a time of increased nationalism, political division, and narrowing borders, Priority affirms the importance of maintaining international artistic partnerships. Whether artworks travel thousands of miles or come from just down the street, each submission represents an act of connection and dialogue. By welcoming works through the mail, this exhibition honors the democratic nature of sending and receiving art: individual pieces converging into a broader global conversation. Packaging elements and postal ephemera may be preserved and integrated into the installation as part of the visual and conceptual narrative.

Open to artists worldwide, Priority invites submissions of unframed, original flat 2D works in any medium, including but not limited to drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, collage, and mixed media. Eligible work must measure between 2" x 3" (A8) and 18" x 24" (B2) and we encourage you to use any materials in the creation, from paper to plexiglass. Envelopes and other packaging may be incorporated into the final presentation.

The exhibition opens on October 3, 2025, in conjunction with First Friday Art Trail, a monthly event that brings thousands of visitors to downtown Lubbock for a night of art, music, and community. Founded in 1982, Charles Adams Gallery is a cornerstone of the Texas contemporary art scene and a leading venue for contemporary art in the region and beyond.

The Wassaic Project is currently holding our annual Open Call for our 2026 Summer Exhibition for artists of all mediums, including: 2D work, sculpture, video, new media, site-specific installation, performance, text, poems, essays, publication-specific work, etc. If selected, your work will be showcased alongside a diverse range of pieces and performances in and around historic Wassaic and Maxon Mills. The Wassaic Project's 2026 Summer Exhibition will be free and open to the public every weekend from May 16 - September 12, 2026. In an effort to be more W.A.G.E. certified, all accepted artists will receive a modest honorarium to participate in the exhibition. Artists interested in creating a site-specific installation for the 2026 Summer Exhibition are also eligible for an Exhibitions Fellowship to help realize their work. Fellows will be offered a no-fee residency for 1 - 4 weeks in April or May 2026. Artists interested in making site-specific work for the exhibition should still apply regardless of whether or not they are interested in or able to be in residence in April or May. The Wassaic Project cultivates and supports community for emerging and professional contemporary artists, writers and other creatives. Housed in historic, landmark buildings, the residency program offers 10 artists each month the opportunity to live and work in the heart of a rural community. The Wassaic Project seeks artists working in a diverse range of media who want to produce, explore, challenge, and expand on their current art-making practices, while participating in a community-based arts organization.

The veteran spirit is unbreakable—forged in service, strengthened through transition, and upheld by the support of those who stand beside us. Whether on the battlefield, during the return home, or in the journey beyond, veterans experience a bond that endures. Spiva Center for the Arts invites veteran artists to submit work for “Unbreakable: The Veteran Spirit,” an exhibition exploring the resilience, camaraderie, and support systems that shape the veteran experience.

This exhibition seeks to highlight the shared struggles, triumphs, and relationships that sustain veterans. From the friendships formed in service to the families and communities that provide strength during transition, we welcome artwork that tells the story of endurance, connection, and growth.

Service does not end with a uniform. The transition to civilian life brings new challenges, but also new opportunities, strengthened by family, friends, and fellow veterans. This exhibition is a reflection on the unbreakable bonds that continue long after service ends. Join us in sharing the resilience, transition, and unwavering support that define the veteran spirit.

This exhibit is taking place as part of the Heartland Patriots Festival.

We are now seeking handmade, whimsical, and functional objects for our newly created year-round, consignment-style Artisan Market, opening in the art center lobby in the fall of 2025!

 Decagon Gallery invites photographers to submit work for our upcoming online exhibition, "Fleeting Moments." This exhibition will explore the beauty and poignancy of transient moments in life — those brief instances that are often unnoticed but carry deep emotional resonance.

​

Eligibility:
This call is open to photographers over 18 of all experience levels. Both traditional and experimental photography techniques are welcome. We encourage diverse interpretations of the theme and all types of photography — from street to fine art to documentary — as long as the work speaks to the idea of moments that are brief, elusive, or transient.

​

Submission Details:

• Theme: Fleeting Moments

• Deadline for Submissions: July 25, 2025

• Exhibition Launch Date: August 5, 2025

• Entry Fee: FREE

• Juror: Richard Koenig
