About the Open Call

In an age of digital connection and physical distance, this exhibition asks how we capture and portray what makes us most human. Artists are invited to submit works that examine the human form as a vessel for story and emotion, contemporary interpretations of classical traditions, and the relationship between artist, subject, and viewer. This is an open call where all work meeting criteria will be included.
