Elysium - 2024 Annual Juried Exhibition

Gallerium presents Elysium - 24, a dual exhibition and publication inviting artistic interpretations of Elysium as a state of great happiness, utopia, paradise, and boundless serenity. The theme can be interpreted through various approaches, both real and imaginary, including environmental sustainability, social harmony, technological advancement, and personal aspirations. Submissions are welcome in all 2D and 3D art media, abstract or representational, including but not limited to: landscapes capturing tranquil vistas and architectural wonders; figures depicting joy and serenity; harmony in diversity showcasing cultural coalescence; technological marvels; personal utopias; and eco-paradises demonstrating environmental sustainability.

Submission is free of charge. If selected, a USD 40 selection fee applies. Artists can submit up to 6 artworks, with a maximum of 2 artworks accepted per artist. Work samples must include 1-5 images. Artworks must be original works created by the entrant without instructor supervision and must not be copies or derivatives of copyrighted work. Artists must retain all rights for international presentation and publication. Artworks created within the last 5 years are preferred, with no size limits.
