OBSCURA

Art Fluent invites artists worldwide to submit artwork to OBSCURA, an online exhibition. The theme explores shadows, secrets, and mystery—moody, dark, silenced, distorted, vulnerable, and unsaid work.

JPEGs are due by Friday, August 8, 2025 at midnight MST. Notification of acceptance and online gallery opening will be by Friday, September 5, 2025. All accepted pieces will be displayed in the online gallery at www.art-fluent.com. Awards include Best of Show ($750) and two Director's Choice awards ($250 each). The exhibition is curated and juried by Creative Director Amy Matteson Neill along with an anonymous committee of jurors.

Entry fee is $25 for the first entry and $10 for each additional entry, up to 20 total submissions. Payment is non-refundable and does not guarantee acceptance. For 3D work, there is no need to pay for additional entries for detail shots; additional views may be sent by email to [email protected]. Work must be original and not copied or done under the guidance of an instructor. All fine art mediums are accepted (oil, acrylic, watermedia, pastel, drawing, printmaking, mixed media, photography, sculpture, fiber, wood, ceramics, film/video, digital art), but AI-generated work will not be accepted. Diptychs and triptychs should be uploaded as a single image. This call is open to artists worldwide, both amateur and professional. Work previously selected for Art Fluent exhibits will not be considered. All sales inquiries will be directed to the artist's website and contact information, with artists receiving 100% of sales. A portion of entry fee proceeds is donated to organizations committed to the arts and supporting artists.
