The Art of Abandonment

Call For Entry: The Art of Abandonment

Submission Deadline:
May, 25th, 2026 11:59 PM

The Art of Abandonment explores abandoned and rediscovered objects, locations, and structures. Through the captured image, we can glimpse the memory of ourselves: and our surroundings and preserve them before being lost to time and place. What do these structures and ephemera convey about humanity as we leave them to decay? What is the essence of time and place, and whom or what are we abandoning?

“Not For Sale” - Group Exhibition at New York

We live in a world that demands a “why.” In a culture obsessed with optimization, we are told that every work must serve a purpose: it should be for a portfolio, for a client, or for sale. We’ve been conditioned to treat our creativity like a factory—if it doesn’t produce “value,” we’re told it’s a waste of time.

 

But we are looking for the work that was born without a destination. What about the work that simply saved you? What about the messy sketches you made while stuck on a Zoom call, the weird abstract shapes you doodled just to keep your hands from shaking, or the pieces that are “too personal” to sell and “too weird” to post? We want the art that happened when you stopped trying to be "productive" and started being honest.
