DEADLINE: May 3, 2024 (ONLINE)


/ˈabˌstrak(t)/ Online Exhibition
Art Fluent
Boston, MA


THEME
Abstract art is like breaking the rules of traditional art—it doesn't try to show things as they are in real life. Instead, it uses colors, shapes, and lines in wild and creative ways to express feelings or ideas, often leaving interpretation open to the viewer. It's a celebration of artistic freedom and imagination. Show us /ˈabˌstrak(t)/ from your perspective.

ELIGIBILITY
This call is open to artists worldwide, both amateur and professional. Work that has been selected for previous exhibits with Art Fluent will not be considered.

Work that is copied or done under the guidance of an instructor is not eligible.

AWARDS
Best of Show: $750
Two Director’s Choice awards: $250 each

As a non-profit gallery, it is supervised by faculty/staff and trained student docents. The gallery provides insurance coverage for artwork while on our campus, publicity and a reception for the artist.
