Illusions

Description

February 2025

Illusions Exhibition

Mosaic Art Collective announces an open call for our first 2025 show, Illusions. This exhibition seeks work that challenges perceptions. Whether an optical illusion, anamorphic, surrealism, blacklight art—the exploration of illusion is the focus. Artwork for this show should invite viewers to question reality and the ways we interpret the world around us.

Submissions are now open! We eagerly await your creative contributions. The submission deadline is January 24, 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.
