Abrazo (Embrace)
Abrazo or embrace is a new call for art and was born out of a desire to celebrate (and embrace) an even broader community of artists during this 10th year of Verum Ultimum. It will push the boundary of what is possible. Every artist that enters this call for art is guaranteed to have 1 work accepted. It will be Verum's biggest exhibition to date and will serve to celebrate the depth of talent and vision within Verum's sphere. Verum Ultimum has exhibited thousands of artists over the past ten years with juried exhibitions that customarily feature between 45 and 75 artists per exhibit. Abrazo will embrace the entire pool of entries and will welcome the challenge of creating a cohesive voice from the plethora (it's one of the best parts of the process, making it come together visually, and thematically). This exhibition will vibrate with energy, celebration, and acceptance. Verum looks forward to embracing what comes in!

Narrative art is a powerful means to explore and express aspects of the human condition. A narrative can tell stories about a wide range of subjects, recount tales from religion, myth, legend, history, and literature, or examine existential questions, such as the meaning of life, death, and the nature of reality.

Tell us, what's your story?
The Narrative is an international juried group exhibition open to artists ages 18 and older.

Degrees of Commitment: Climate, Ecosystems, and Society
For centuries, artists have put their vision and skill to work for the betterment of society in an effort to effect change and expand our understanding of complex issues. Information based solely on data can often leave people feeling overwhelmed, disempowered, disconnected, and sometimes hopeless in the face of daunting odds. Art has the incredible power to compel thought, elicit feelings, and inspire discourse, which in turn, can motivate engagement and galvanize action; why we make, what we make, and how we make work matters and makes a difference in the world.
For this national juried exhibition, we are looking for works that foster awareness and caring for the environment, advocate for climate action, seek climate justice, or inspire sustainability. As the earth continues to warm, the hazards we face increase; weather extremes, food and water insecurities, pandemics, even allergy season is lengthened and intensified. Collective action is needed. How can art make a difference with such a monumental undertaking? Art doesn’t show people what to do but it can make one feel and inspire one to think more deeply. These thoughts and feelings can motivate people to become more engaged and take action. Every action, no matter how small, has a cumulative effect when many people engage

Nuditas—2023
Exhibizone proudly presents Nuditas 2023.
Nuditas, the Latin word for nudity and nakedness, has been a part of the art world from prehistory to the modern cultures.
William Blake once said: "Art can never exist without naked beauty displayed", and Nuditas 2023 has been designed to embrace pureness, nakedness and truth by focusing on human body via visual arts.
The goal is to create a manifestation of body, the unveiling, the essence of the true human being, an identity of body and soul, which leads inward to the truth within.
We encourage you to submit your artistic expression of nudity and join us in another popular art exhibition by Exhibizone that has so far attracted more than 5.5 million visitors worldwide.
