Call for Art: Aesthetics of Power
Curator: Mahwish Chishty
Deadline: August 15, 2025

As tools of harm grow more remote, outsourced, and hidden, their impacts continue to rapidly shape our lives. While the mechanisms may be out of sight, their impact remains immediate, shaping the human experience, memories, and the cultural archive. This exhibition invites artists to share their work that respond to that contradiction: a world where power hides in plain sight, but leaves its unmistakable marks.

A.R.C. Gallery invites artists to submit work for The Aesthetics of Power, an exhibition juried by artist Mahwish Chishty. This show looks closely at how aesthetics can be used to express layered, quietly disruptive ideas. We are drawn to work that surprises, that reveals itself slowly, and that occupies the fragile space where beauty unsettles rather than soothes. Submissions should be layered and unexpected: artworks that linger in the uneasy space between attraction and unease.

We are especially interested in work that explores:

Cultural Memory and Erasure

• Preservation and re-imagining of cultural symbols and ideals

• The manipulation or erasure of tradition

• Artistic resistance to the flattening or reframing (?) of cultural heritage

Ornament as Language

• Pattern as encoded meaning

• Ornament as a shield or a weapon

• Meditative aesthetics used in resistance to violence

Craft and Geopolitical Violence

• Forms of traditional craft brought into conversation with ominous themes

• The intersection of aesthetic tradition and geopolitical critique

• Visual languages considered domestic juxtaposed with anonymous institutional and political rhetoric

This is a call for work that suggests more than it states. We’re not looking for easy answers, but are drawn instead to work that lives in complexity. We invite artists to reflect on how aesthetic interpretations carry the weight of history, how beauty might obscure or reveal power, and how what is finely wrought can also bear witness.

CALL FOR ENTRIES

Sculptors living in the District of Columbia, Virginia, and Maryland are invited to participate in the inaugural Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition in the gardens of Hill Center on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. All Artists who work in durable materials suited for long-term, outdoor display are welcome to apply.

Located in the Old Naval Hospital (commissioned by President Lincoln and opened in 1866), Hill Center (hillcenterdc.org) is now a vibrant center of community life, learning and the arts. Since its opening in 2011, Hill Center Galleries has presented continuous rotating exhibits of wall hung artwork throughout the year and is now delighted to present contemporary sculptures in its gardens.

Five sculptures will be chosen for an outdoor exhibition to run from October 1, 2025 until March 27, 2026. Artists chosen for  exhibition will receive an honorarium of $500 each. In addition, a Best in Show Prize of $1,000 will be awarded.  Hill Center will retain a 30% commission on sales of sculptures. Hill Center’s insurance covers up to $150,000 in value.

Selected artists will be responsible for delivering their ready-to-install-works to the installation site on Hill Center’s grounds and for assisting in the installation under the supervision of Hill Center’s Sculpture Coordinator. Artists will also be responsible for assisting in the deinstallation and removal of their sculptures at the conclusion of the exhibition.

All Sculptures must be designed to be low or no-maintenance, using durable materials suitable for long term outdoor display. Sculptures must be presented ready to be attached with mechanical fasteners to a 48” or 60” round concrete pad. Artists will work with the Sculpture Coordinator to determine if any modifications to the sculpture’s base are required before installation. A high voltage electric plug will be available at each sculpture pad. All artwork must not pose any risk of injury to the viewing public and will be safe for viewers of all ages.

Hill Center’s schedule of programming every day of the week, as well as concerts, events and gatherings by other organizations and individuals in the building and on the grounds, provide a robust stream of visitors to the site.

On August 18, 1920, the 19th amendment, guaranteeing women’s right to vote, became the law of the land. As this year’s members show will coincide with the anniversary of that momentous occasion, this call invites submissions for works that consider the struggles and victories we share in our communities, and our collective strength when we come together.

Reflecting on those histories and regarding our current moment in time, when technology is being used to keep us divided and isolated, and as social media deepens our loneliness and alienation from one another, this call imagines a space for us to come together to celebrate and honor what connects us through photography.

This juried open call invites submissions for work with a multitude of perspective and creative approaches, from documentary to conceptual, from commercial to fiercely personal attitudes. Selected works will be shown at an exhibition at LACP’s Gallery in Downtown Los Angeles.

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.

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 Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit original works of contemporary watercolor. Open to all traditional and non-traditional approaches to the medium. *Watercolor, gouache, ink wash, tempera, and other similar painting media are all eligible. Submissions can range from the most traditional to the most conceptual or experimental.

Quite possibly the oldest form of painting, watercolor persists today, defying narrow categorization and broad stereotype. Practiced for centuries in concept development preliminary to finished paintings made in oil or other scale-worthy durable media, watercolor also found favor with botanists, illustrators, and portraitists, and was applied to varied and countless surfaces.

The nature of the media itself represents a delicate and dictatorial transparency, fluidity, and a potential for expressive spontaneity. This not only makes it an ideal vehicle for visual art, but also one of training, intensity, philosophy, and play for any who practice it. Where an artist can easily dominate other painting media, forcing a will through viscous layers into a work of art like taming a wild horse, with watercolor there is dialog, compromise, and undeniable forthrightness. In this way the artist practicing watercolor works with a tiger in the room. 

The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit original works of contemporary painting. Open to all traditional and non-traditional genre and media.

At some point many generations ago society reached a level where ordinary people could spend a lifetime perfecting their ability to mix and apply paint, in extraordinary ways. A decade ago, to mark Manifest's 10th season the gallery kicked off a permanent biennial project surveying painting as an art form. It was first presented in fall 2013 to inaugurate our expanded gallery. PAINTED 2025 will be the seventh biennial presentation of this international survey of contemporary painting.

PAINTED joins Drawn as a recurring gallery exhibition designed to complement our ongoing triennial INDA and INPA (drawing and painting) publications. Every two years it launches our exhibition season by presenting a competitive group exhibition focused exclusively on painting.

PAINTED is a gallery exhibit that calls for works of painting by artists around the world as they carry the tradition forward, or reform it for another day. Submissions can range from the most traditional to the most conceptual, abstract, or experimental, including those which push the boundaries of the common definition of what constitutes ‘painting'.

Professional or amateur artists working in two or three-dimensional media are invited to apply for the Civic Center Rotating Art Gallery. The gallery is located in the Civic Center (525 West Cota Street) on the first floor. Exhibits are scheduled for 12-week periods. More than one artist's works may be exhibited at one time.

**Artist must be able to deliver/pickup their art between Monday-Friday from 8:30-3pm

Global Art Curators is offering selected artists a free, no-obligation 1:1 call with one of our experienced curators.

Get honest feedback, ask your questions, and explore future opportunities to exhibit with us or our partners.

Artist Grant awards an unrestricted $1200 USD grant to one visual artist three times each year. 

The next deadline is July 15, 2025.

We welcome submissions from artists worldwide, age 18+, in a wide range of media, including: Painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, ceramics, mixed media, installation, and other new or alternative visual media. Please note: We do not accept submissions for music, theater, dance, or film/video.

REVELATIONS

Call for Exhibition │Free entry

Accepted media: Photography, Video,Digital Visual Design

Group Exhibition in Rome. February 2026

-

Every work of art is a revelation: ofitself, of the world, of others.

What does it mean, nowadays, to reveal?What emerges when you look more deeply, listen better, pierce theveil of appearances?

The collective exhibition "Revelations"will investigate the concept of revelation as a moment of truth,insight or unveiling. At a time when appearance often subduessubstance, to reveal means to go beyond, to bare, to bring light intoshadow.

The call is open to photographers,video artists and designers who want to confront this theme throughworks that explore revelation as a visual, narrative, symbolic oremotional act, capable of suggesting, denouncing, moving, or simplyprovoking thought.

Submissions » http://bit.ly/loosenartcalls

Deadline November 16th, 2025

The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit works made about or using skills and materials the world may have moved on from, but still contain depth of potential, and unappreciated value.

A lost art is a skill or process that has fallen out of use: wet-plate colloidal photography, punch-card coding, cursive writing. As technologies develop, old ways of doing things fall out of memory in favor of what is newer, more fashionable, faster, or cheaper. The world moves on, leaving behind the detritus of tools and machines made to complete work that is no longer done. The knowledge of how to process film, how to weave, to mix egg-tempera paint, takes on a sacred, rarified, or even provincial quality.

Where does the knowledge go when the industrial, technologically-advanced world thinks it doesn’t need it anymore? How has being forgotten freed it? Who are the stewards of these lost arts? 

The Cincinnati based non-profit arts organization and gallery, Manifest, invites visual artists and designers to submit works about the objects that make a space suitable for living—about its use, its design, its crafting, or about the events and work in our lives that happen around it.

A room is characterized by the furniture and fixtures inside of it. Fixtures tell you where you are. If you see a sink and refrigerator, know you are in the kitchen; a large formal table places you in a dining room. Crown that table with a chandelier and you are in a nice dining room.

Furniture’s aesthetic communicates as much as it functions—an industrial stainless-steel kitchen is easier to keep clean, and its smooth planes and sharp edges communicate exemplary spotlessness. Beds, chairs, and dressers become sites navigated to and around daily as we eat, cook, clean ourselves, organize, work, and rest.

Furniture’s construction is an art, its design a science. It is passed down, bought new, found in antique malls, repaired, refinished. It signifies class, purpose, and it changes features and make-up to suit a type of work done with it. 

The 15th Annual PleinAir Salon is an online art competition with 11 monthly cycles, and is open to a variety of mediums and styles. It’s not just for plein air painters! We invite a variety of top master artists, museum directors and gallery owners to judge each month. All monthly winners are automatically included in the Annual Competition where the Grand Prize winner receives $15,000 and has their painting featured on the cover of PleinAir Magazine, the #1 representational art magazine at Barnes & Noble. 

In addition to over $50,000 in ALL Cash Prizes, winners receive exposure and recognition through our various magazines, websites, newsletters and social media platforms.

Studio Montclair is pleased to announce an Open Call for an exhibition,

“Things We Carry – a Contemporary Asian Experience”.

Stories of immigration often incorporate the idea of worn baggage, as in, what has

been brought over - intangibly/theoretically/philosophically, and sometimes

subconsciously - and ingrained into our sense of home. This exhibition seeks works

from artists responding to the multitudes that Asians/Asian-Americans carry, represent

and experience, as a modern collective. We encourage artists to reflect on our deep

appreciation for tradition while also affirming our sense of belonging and place.

JUROR: Adriana Proser - Curator of Asian Art and

Chief Curator at the Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, MD.

I design mini wax sculptures for sip and paint events, for wedding parties, as gifts and as invitation send offs.  I also design them for couple date nights. I am starting a new trend in the art world and would love to share it with the world. It's something different,  amazing with Individual visions and one of a kind art pieces. We have over 1000 mini sculptures for any occasion. You would just have to experience it for yourself and you would love it too.
