CALL TO ARTISTS: Arch Enemy Arts is in search of new artists for our annual group showcase exhibition

scheduled to open in March 2024 

 

A CALL TO ARTISTS is now open for a new group exhibition scheduled to hang for the month of March in 2024. This show is our annual spotlight exhibition of new and emerging talent, as chosen and curated by the Arch Enemy staff, with no themes or direction in subject matter allowing applicants to focus on their best personal work. Before submitting your work, understand that Arch Enemy Arts is a gallery dedicated to new contemporary genres with a strong focus on representational, dark surrealism, magical realism, post-graffiti, pop-surreal, illustrative, representational, and figurative work across a range of artistic mediums.

For examples of the kind of work we show, all of our past exhibitions can be viewed at www.archenemyarts.com.

If you believe we are the right gallery venue for your work, then this may be the show for you!
