Once Upon Water
Residency
- Submission Deadline: February 1, 2023
- Event Dates: May 9, 2023 - May 24, 2023
- Eligibility: International
- Categories: Craft/Traditional Arts, Photography, Drawing, Film/Video/New Media, Mixed-Media/Multi-Discipline, Painting, Sculpture
Once Upon Water is a two-week art residency to create artworks about the material and magical notions of water. Water is in constant flow and yet may present itself as still ~ a mirror that mesmerizes. In this state its reflective surface invites gazing at our physical selves, but also beyond our bodies to contemplate both our inner experiences and relationships with the outer world. Water gushes from deep below earth’s crevices, falls from elevations and hovers in misty formations. It traverses time, shape-shifts as it slides through various spaces, and is one of Mother Nature’s greatest Sculptors. At once, water pours out of taps in developed countries as a banal occurrence, while women in developing countries trek miles to fetch it clean. Alarmingly, earth is under threat of losing all its sea ice this century, while future wars are predicted to be fought over water rather than oil. Yet, the world’s greatest religions say water holds the power to purify and renew.

What is art in the 21st century? While some artists are keeping a very traditional approach to art, others are taking risks into the unknown and there has always been a constant debate about "What Is Art" and what makes it valuable.
In a contemporary world, success can be seen in varied approaches; great examples are Damien Hirst and David Hockney, two of the world's most famous and wealthiest artists, with such different approaches to contemporary art.
This exhibition aims to create a dialogue between different approaches to contemporary art and demonstrate that either way can be successful. This exhibition will take place in our space in the Tower Bridge area, London, UK. The space is located in one of the most iconic places in the world and the most visited place in the whole UK.

In the world of phones and online dating apps, sexism in the dating world is quite apparent. From catcalling at bars, to sending dick pics without consent, to people lying to get phone numbers, to people stalking on social media, to queer people navigating apps designed for straight couples - dating in the modern world can be quite trying. It is full of people who still believe they have the audacity to not call someone back, or that they can be inappropriate because it is over the internet. They Don’t Call Us is a place for gender minorities to talk about their struggles with sexism while dating and revel in their successes with self love and self care.

Open Call: "Cannibals of Love"
Competition
- Organization: Ejecta Projects
- Submission Deadline: February 14, 2023
- Event Dates: April 1, 2023 - May 20, 2023
- Eligibility: International
- Categories: Craft/Traditional Arts, Photography, Drawing, Film/Video/New Media, Mixed-Media/Multi-Discipline, Painting, Sculpture
- Location: Carlisle, Pennsylvania 17013, United States
Cannibals of Love, curated by Ejecta Projects
On display April 1 – May 20, 2023
Cannibals of Love takes as its inspiration the romantic comedy genre in film and television – the “Rom Com” – to “cast” an exhibition that explores themes of love and humor.
This is an open-call. Visual artists are invited to submit works of art that are inspired by, critique, or reflect notions of heartache, summer flings, awkward love triangles, unlikely couples, one-night stands, unrequited loves, the “meet cute,” or other tropes of Rom Coms. More specifically, submitted works will explore romance and/or humor in relation to cinematically-scaled stories of pathos and eros.
Although the prompt might at first appear to engage with light-hearted frivolities, the curators seek a nuanced survey of contemporary artistic responses to love and power, as well as a diverse examination of relationships and romance. With the mention of cannibals in its title, the exhibition also welcomes investigations about the intersections of desire, appetites, and other perceived taboos and “improper” behaviors largely absent from or suppressed by Hollywood and Hallmark. Moreover, the curators invite critical approaches to the conventional heteronormativity, pervasive whiteness, and gender politics of the film genre.
Ultimately, the artists in the exhibition, selected for their range of perspectives, identities and works across visual media, will provide viewers with new and inclusive insights into the shared human impulses to love and laugh.
Other visual or experiential “cues” that the curators imagine could be pertinent include: period drama, summer blockbuster, forbidden love, unlikely pairings, doubts at the altar, attention-grabbing movie trailers, sequels, and celebrity, among others.
Open to all visual media, including film/video and text.

Artists are invited to submit original artwork for Monmouth University’s new art exhibit, Diversity Lives Here: Representation Through Art.
The United States is more racially and ethnically diverse than ever before. Subsequently, higher education institutions are now comprised of a more diverse community. Despite an increasingly more diverse population, many colleges and universities (especially predominantly white institutions) have physical spaces that do not represent their own communities. Monmouth University is committed to change! They have dedicated spaces to display jury-selected artwork in every academic building to ensure everyone in the Monmouth University community will see themselves represented and celebrated within the halls.
