Exhibition: Heatwave, Tampa Colors in Abstract

About the Open Call

RevArt invites 2D artists to submit work for Heatwave: Tampa Colors in Abstract, an upcoming Fall/Winter 2025 exhibition celebrating Tampa’s vibrant spirit through bold, expressive abstraction. We’re looking for works that channel the city’s warmth, energy, and distinctive color palette—from fiery sunsets and sparkling waterfronts to its lively cultural heartbeat. Selected works will be featured in a high-visibility exhibition, offering artists the chance to connect with new audiences and collectors in one of Florida’s most dynamic art scenes. In addition, selected pieces may also be purchased by the exhibition’s venue sponsor. Preferred Mediums & Styles: 2D artworks: painting, drawing, mixed media, printmaking, collage. Abstract art is preferred, but expressive semi-abstract works will also be considered. RevArt is a hub for visual artists to advance their careers. We operate alternative art spaces in Minneapolis, Richmond, Toronto, Winnipeg, Atlanta, DC, Charlottesville, and Nashville. Our mission is to make art accessible to all while creating more opportunities for emerging and underrepresented artists.
