CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
INTERSECTIONS
Intersections are points of convergence, divergence and exchange—places where paths cross, ideas collide, perspectives shift and possibilities emerge.
Everything is informed or influced by environment, experience, and perception thereby creating complex webs of interconnections
This juried exhibition invites artists to create work that reflects the multifaceted interconnections that shape how we perceive the world, what drives our creativity, and where we direct our curiosity.
What is a juried exhibition?
First, we challenge artists to create or submit work based on the theme: intersections
Artists submit their work, and a team of three arts professionals (our jurors) will be tasked with selecting the work for the show.
Artwork will be on view at the DAG from
January 30 until April 11.
At the opening reception , jurors will deliberate and award prizes.
The people’s choice award will be voted on throughout the course of the exhibition and awarded after the exhibitions conclusion.

-

-
