An Omnium-Gatherum Exhibit of Gender Multifariousness
CALL FOR ART:
Submit artwork in various mediums, paintings, prints, drawings, photos, sculptures, video, installation, to the An Omnium-Gatherum Exhibit of Gender Multifariousness exhibit at Agitator, 3851 W Fullerton Ave in Chicago. This exhibit seeks submissions that focus on gender variance and the human figure.
Exhibit Statement:
The goal of the Omnium-Gatherum Exhibit of Gender Multifariousness is to feature artwork that gives a full range of creative expression and support to gender variance and variety, and its artists, allowing them to be seen by a wide audience.
Diverse genders and bodies attest to a natural plenitude that occurs in human nature and culture, but historically, dominant world cultures have denied them, imposing limits on such expression. Thus, this exhibit takes a creative stand against the gender restrictions that current political leadership is trying to reimpose.

Additional FAQS:
The gallery can insure each artwork only up to $1,500.00, so any artwork above this sale price cannot be insured above that amount.
All artwork on display at the exhibit should be for sale. Any artwork that is labelled "Not For Sale" can be shown, but for a small fee.
For any artwork sold, the gallery asks 30% of the sales, and this is considered a tax-deductible donation to gallery which is a registered arts nonprofit organization.
There will be additional events for this exhibit, like an artist talk night, a reading night, an artist critique, whose schedule will be determined prior to the exhibit and based on artists in the exhibit interest in participating in them.
