Description

September 2025

Full Circle Exhibition

Mosaic Art Collective is excited to announce our third annual juried exhibition: Full Circle. This show marks three years of creative exploration and community building.

Each September, as the Earth completes another orbit around the sun, we reflect on our shared journey—what grounds us, what lifts us, and how we navigate the space in between. This year’s exhibition invites artists to share work that captures the essence of their creative path over the past year.

Artists are encouraged to submit work that aligns with one or more of the following themes:

Best of the Year: A piece that best captures your voice, vision, or technical mastery from the past year.
Artistic Growth: A work that reflects personal or artistic evolution—new techniques, unfamiliar territory, or inner shifts.
A Moment in Time: Artwork inspired by a specific event or season that left a mark on your practice.

We also welcome your personal interpretation of “full circle,” and what it means to you as an artist and human in motion.

Submissions are now open! We can’t wait to witness the ways you’ve risen, rooted, and responded. The submission deadline is Saturday, August 30, 2025, at 11:59 PM.

Submission fees should not be a barrier to entry. If for any reason you need accommodations to access this call, please email info@mosaicartcollective.com and we are happy to work with you.

PLEASE NOTE: For this art call and going forward, we will be accepting submission fee payments through our website rather than through the Art Call site directly. In order to complete your entry to the show, you must submit the work itself here at Art Call and separately pay the submission fees for those works at this link.
