Featuring artists from, inspired by, or transplanted to the American South, Southern Gothic explores the region’s rich artistic legacy, storied atmosphere, and diverse cultural roots through visual narratives across a range of media. This virtual exhibition celebrates the complexity, beauty, and contradictions of identity and place in the Southern states.
The South is a region of profound contrasts—beautiful and haunted, iconoclastic and traditional, diverse and divided. This exhibition moves beyond stereotypes to present cutting-edge contemporary work by artists working below the Mason-Dixon and offers insightful ruminations on this creatively fertile area through the eyes of those who know it intimately.
Why Apply?
For artists connected to the South—whether by birth, choice, or creative vision—Southern Gothic offers a platform to share nuanced perspectives with a global audience. By applying, you will be added to our exclusive database of thousands of emerging artists from around the world, connecting you to future opportunities and collaborators.
Eligibility
Open to artists worldwide with connections to the American South (living, working, or creating work about or within the region). All mediums and styles welcome, except work entirely generated by AI.
