CALL FOR ARTIST SUBMISSIONS

DEADLINE: 30 June 2023


Maya Gallery is pleased to announce an open call to all artists for our upcoming art exhibition entitled "Homeland". This exhibition will showcase contemporary landscape artworks that depict the concept of "home" and the idea of belonging. 

As the world continues to change and people migrate from one place to another, the definition of "home" becomes more complex. We want to explore the different interpretations of what "home" means to individuals and how it can be expressed through art. We welcome all types of contemporary landscape artworks, including paintings, photographs, and mixed media. The artwork should reflect the theme of "Homeland" and should be created within the last two years.
 
This exhibition will be held from August 5 – 18, 2023, at Maya Gallery Singapore. We encourage artists from all over the world to participate and share their unique perspectives on this theme.
 
To apply, please submit your artwork image(s), artist bio, statement, photo, CV, and registration fee of $100 per work / $200 for 2 works, by June 30, 2023.
 
The artist with the best work will be awarded with a solo exhibition to be held at the gallery the following year. We look forward to receiving your submissions!
