Short Description
Arch Enemy Arts has announced an open call for artists for a new group exhibition, scheduled to be displayed throughout January 2026. This show will serve as the gallery’s annual spotlight exhibition, dedicated to showcasing new and emerging talent.
The curation team at Arch Enemy Arts will select works, and the exhibition imposes no specific theme, allowing applicants to submit their strongest personal work. Artists should note that the gallery specializes in new contemporary genres, with a curatorial focus on representational art, dark surrealism, magical realism, post-graffiti, pop-surrealism, and narrative, illustrative, and figurative works across various mediums.
This opportunity is ideally suited for artists who feel their creative vision aligns with the gallery’s aesthetic direction.
