Art Speaks: Abstract Expressions

Abstract Expressions is a curated group exhibition for this moment in time. In a world that feels loud and uncertain, we invite artists to explore abstraction not just as a style, but as a release. Expression may be fierce or fragile, joyful or aching, intimate or expansive. It may speak of identity, resistance, memory, desire, longing, or hope.

All mediums welcome: abstract, semi-abstract, expressionist, surreal, geometric, and contemporary. Painting, mixed media, photography, sculpture.

Selected works from the collection will also be featured in a special Art Speaks event, where writers respond to your work with live performances of original poems and stories.

Submission deadline is Sunday December 14 by 11:00pm
