Open call 2022 | Remedy

£30.00 GBP

We are delighted to announce our fourth release entitled Remedy and invite artists to submit work for our upcoming digital and physical show in central Athens (GR).

In a year in which the world faced numerous global challenges, a theme emerged from the search data; the global pursuit of healing and finding a way forward. A remedy can be a treatment that relieves pain or cures a condition, or a way of correcting something or solving a problem. 

According to Google, 2021 was a year of seeking out reassessment, reflection, and growth and within that year the world searched for affirmations and ways to come back stronger than ever before. The intense grief and loneliness felt around the world, as well as the pain of ongoing inequity, have become lasting reminders of how much we need each other, not just for comfort and support, but to face challenges that require our collective action to solve. 

We invite artists worldwide to inspire us and leave their mark. This year's call for art is open to all mediums and ways of expression and we look forward seeing work from all perspectives and approaches. 

Submissions will be consciously selected by a jury of prominent art professionals and the selected artists will have the opportunity to be part of a ground-breaking digital show that will open its virtual doors in December 2022.
