Exhibition Open Call: Art- Not a Luxury

Description

RevArt invites artists to apply for our upcoming exhibition, Art: Not a Luxury, held in Plano, TX.
This show centers on the idea that creativity is not a privilege — it’s a necessity. We’re looking for artists who work with everyday materials, tell local stories, and create community-driven art. Whether you’re self-taught, emerging, or established, if your work reflects lived experience and speaks to the value of art in everyday life, we want to hear from you.

We are seeking 2D artworks that are ready to hang on the wall, including paintings, drawings, photography, printmaking, mixed media, and textile art. Works should:

• Artists with ties to Plano or the DFW area are preferred
• Work made with found, recycled, domestic, or low-cost materials are preferred
• Art inspired by community, identity, place, resilience, or personal history
• Participatory or collaborative projects are welcome
• All mediums accepted: visual art, sculpture, installation, mixed media, photography, sound/video, and more

Exhibition Period: Fall 2025

Submissions will be reviewed by the art committee. Selected artists will be notified within one month after the submission deadline.
