Call for Art: Fresh Terrain Exploring Environments Real and Imagined

We invite artists to submit work for Fresh Terrain, a juried exhibition that delves into the theme of environment, both familiar and fantastical. This show seeks artwork that interprets landscapes, cityscapes, and the spaces we inhabit or dream about. From the natural world to urban jungles, serene seascapes to surreal dreamscapes, Fresh Terrain celebrates the diversity of place and the emotional, cultural, and imaginative connections we form with our surroundings.

Whether rooted in observation or invention, the work may capture a moment in time, map a psychological space, or envision a speculative future. Submissions can reflect a broad range of perspectives, including—but not limited to—climate, memory, identity, displacement, architecture, and the passage of time.

All mediums are welcome: painting, drawing, photography, digital art, sculpture, installation, and mixed media.

Key Details:

• Deadline: July 19th, 2025
• Submission Fee: $26 per piece
• Exhibition Dates: August 1st - September 9th
• Venue: 2623 W Chicago Ave. Chicago, IL
  

We encourage bold interpretations and invite both established and emerging artists to contribute to this exploration of place, presence, and possibility.
