The ALTER EGO Open Call

a brilliant alias that channeled his beliefs, intentions, and superpowers, and a part of himself that was known to very few. Calling all artists worldwide!

One’s alter-ego can express varied elements of one’s being, perhaps a deep connection to nature, a political passion, a mythological counterpart, or even an animal guide.

Introspective and personal, alter-egos express a creative outlook and deep understanding that ideas, beliefs, and beings do not always manifest in one visage and can change appearance by necessity or desire.

For this open call, consider the term Alter-Ego expansively; show us artwork that reveals a facet of you – a manifest passion, superpower, or facet of your personality, creatively yours to reveal.

Please supplement your artwork with a written statement so that judges may fully understand how your art expresses the theme of an ALTER EGO and why this is so.
All genres welcome including painting, photography, mixed media, collage, sculpture, NFT’s, etc.

show us your true self
