The Fabric of Life

Webster Arts invites art submissions for The Fabric of Life, a national call for art open to all artists aged 18 or older residing in the US. This exhibition invites artists to explore the threads that weave together the human experience, contemplating texture, interconnection, and the ties that bind our world together. Artists are encouraged to submit original 2D & 3D work in any medium except video.

The exhibition will be juried by Melshonda Lowe-Dobbins, a figurative artist, educator, and lifelong advocate for the visual voice based in St. Louis, Missouri. Her work in acrylic and spray paint acts as a powerful form of social commentary and exploration of the human experience. An independent juror will select work for inclusion and cash prizes ($250 Best in Show, one $100 Award of Excellence). Sales are encouraged with Webster Arts receiving a 30% commission.

Entry fee is $25 for the first three images and $5 for each additional entry up to 10 images. Framed wall pieces must be wired for hanging and no larger than 48" x 48". All wall works on paper must be framed. Three dimensional works must not exceed 32" x 32" x 60" or weigh more than 50 pounds. Exhibition dates are January 9-February 13, 2026, with an opening reception on Friday, January 9, 2026 at 6:30 PM at Webster Arts, #2 Summit Ave, Webster Groves, MO 63119.
