A Generous Queendom: Art that explores symbolism, story, and beyond
Verum Ultimum Art Gallery invites artists to explore the theme, "A Generous Queendom: Art that explores symbolism, story, and beyond" for its first iteration! Artists are encouraged to enter work that is any interpretation of the call. As with all Verum Ultimum's calls, the hope is to unveil unique visions. All mediums and modes of expression are welcome from low brow, pop surrealism, abstraction, and more. This call emphasizes the idea of revealing and/or honoring a narrative or legacy. The term Queendom may be interpreted in many ways, not necessarily meant to be a literal elucidation. Does your work seem to create a realm or a remembrance or representation of the idea of home or place? Does your process tell the story? Is a legacy or mythos revealed through your work or your process? Do you inadvertently honor or celebrate the plethora or abundance of...through your work? Verum Ultimum Gallery invites artists on this quest that will define A Generous Queendom!
And you may recognize the gist of this theme…
For the past decade the Verum theme was formerly titled A Generous Kingdom and while the term was never meant to hold a literal elucidation, shifting to the term to Queendom feels fitting right now. Verum is eager to see what will be revealed…
Deadline October 23, 2025
Exhibition will open in mid-November at Verum Ultimum in Southeast Portland
