Masks and their various functions have been used throughout human history, and charting their influence and use may be better left in the hands of historical anthropologists. However, their meaning, significance, and continued use in our societies to this day are often emotionally charged, symbolic in their nature, or practical to an extreme; they illicit immediate responses and, in some cases, have developed into their own iconography with as many faces as their various depictions. From the theatre masks of Thalia and Melpomene to the surgical-grade masks of a world-wide pandemic, masks reveal just as much as they conceal. In our fourth call for submissions, we will explore the personal, social, and cultural significance of masks and masking in a variety of forms.

Earth: Sol III, Terra, Tellus, Gaia, Mother Earth, the world upon which we dwell, the soil under our feet or the dirt sprinkled ceremoniously on top of our coffins by a grieving loved one. How do you relate to the earth and the resources of this planet? Is it the color of the soil, the gardens that grow, the places of profound beauty or the roads you travel that speak to you? Is it the color of paint or a clay tablet that is inscribed with words of ancient wisdom? Is it the worker who digs the soil or the potter that sits at her wheel making the earth yield under their pressure? What is your involvement with “EARTH”?

This show is all about color. Artists use vibrant colors to make lively and joyous statements about life. In this show, the artists’ work will demonstrate their masterful use of color to create work that is bold and engaging. 2D and 3D artwork in any media will be accepted for consideration.

Exhibition Description: Woman Made Gallery seeks entries in all media by women and non-binary artists worldwide for its 25th International Open, on view from March 2 to March 30, 2024.

Could dreams and nightmares be the potent driving force behind our creative processes, the mysterious catalysts igniting the flame of artistic inspiration?

A significant number of artists affirm this belief wholeheartedly.

Some find their deepest inspirations enveloped in the essence of dreams, immersing themselves in a blissful trance of creation. This state transcends mere aspiration, becoming a surreal canvas where possibilities bloom endlessly, a place where the mind wanders, seeking the sublime, the ethereal, fostering an insatiable quest to reach heights previously unimagined, somehow, somewhere.

On the flip side, many others journey through the chilling domains of nightmares, a voyage marked by relentless internal conflicts and cold sweats that pierce the stillness of the night.

These artists find themselves wrestling with the darker fragments of their psyche, exploring into corners where fears manifest and insecurities gnaw persistently. It's a place where conflict brews, giving birth to creations steeped in raw, unfiltered emotion, art that doesn't shy away from exposing the tumultuous storms raging within. It serves as both an exploration and an exorcism of the deep-seated darkness that resides in the corners of the human spirit. Here, the beauty arises from the conflict, the chaos, offering a catharsis that is both profound and unsettling.

“I know, I’ve been there, I am still.”

This exhibition aims to unearth the profound connections between the subconscious dream world and the pulsating, sometimes harrowing heartbeat of artistic creation, offering a sanctuary for reflection, resonance, and perhaps, revelation.
