Perceive You 2

"Perceive You 2" is an online exhibition of figurative self-portraits exploring identity, vulnerability, empowerment, and perception. Inspired by Kristine Schomaker's project "Perceive Me," this exhibition invites artists to examine their own self-perception and identity. The exhibition poses questions about self-worth, how we curate our public personas through social media and appearance, and the gap between how we view ourselves and how we imagine others perceive us. "Perceive You" is a platform for empowerment, authenticity, and ownership of identity across all body shapes, sizes, colors, genders, and abilities.

Artwork can be in any media (drawing, video, painting, sculpture, digital, intermedia, etc.) but should address the "Perceive You" theme. 2D artworks may include screen grabs from moving imagery but will be juried as static images; full moving pieces must be submitted as video. Work requiring specialized equipment to view will not be considered. The exhibition is open to all USA artists age 18 and older.

Entry fee is $15.00 plus a $5.00 media fee. Submissions should include 3-10 total work samples (0-10 images and 0-5 videos). The award is an online solo show at Shoebox Projects. All sales are handled directly between the artist and interested parties; the gallery takes no commission. The artist is responsible for payment arrangements, applicable taxes, and work delivery.
