Worldwide Artist OPEN CALL

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: November 15, 2026

PEOPLE - Virtual 3D Exhibition

People are at the heart of countless artistic stories — as individuals, communities, memories, and reflections of society. This exhibition explores the human figure and the human experience in all their diversity: identity, relationships, emotions, everyday life, belonging, isolation, transformation, and the ways we see and understand one another.

​

We are now accepting submissions for PEOPLE, our virtual 3D group exhibition. We invite artists from around the world to share their personal perspectives on the theme People.

The subject may be approached through portraiture, figurative art, abstraction, symbolism, or experimental forms.

Artists from all backgrounds and at all stages of their careers are welcome to apply. We accept works in a wide range of media and techniques, including painting, drawing, collage, digital art, photography, and sculpture. We are looking for diverse artistic voices, individual interpretations, and distinctive approaches to the theme.

​

There is no application fee. Please feel free to submit your work for consideration. If selected, a €30 processing fee per artist will apply to cover the costs of preparing and presenting the work in the virtual exhibition.

​Our team and curator will review all submissions, and selected artists will be notified after the selection process.

​

Awards

​

Five prizes will be awarded at the conclusion of the exhibition. The winners will receive certificates and will be prominently featured in the exhibition's video guide. 

​

Social Media Bonus

​

All artists selected for the exhibition will be featured on our Instagram account which currently has 10,300+ followers.​

​​

Virtual Exhibition

​

PEOPLE is a virtual 3D exhibition, so no physical artworks are required. Selected works will be presented digitally within the virtual exhibition space.

Artists are welcome to sell their works during and after the exhibition. We charge 0% commission on sales. Any inquiries regarding the purchase of an artwork will be forwarded directly to the respective artist.
