Theme: Dissent in art is a powerful and compelling expression of resistance, a means by which artists challenge the status quo, question authority, and provoke critical thought. Throughout history, visual art has served as a medium for dissent, allowing individuals to voice their opposition to prevailing ideologies, social injustices, and political regimes. This form of creative resistance manifests itself in various art genres, styles, and mediums.  

Gallery 44 invites artists of visual media to submit work for consideration for an exhibition in our virtual, 3D navigable, gallery space which will include an accompanying catalogue / book that will be published through our imprint, Prism Press, on various platforms including in print on Amazon.

We seek work that addresses a diverse range of issues facing global populations today, from femicide, genocide, global fascism, wealth disparity, climate change, migration, lgbtq+ rights, equality etc.. 

The exhibition is curated by Rula Jones Brock, a well known curator who founded Gallery 44 in 2023 after decades of curating physical exhibitions in the Washington DC area. The exhibition will feature a published catalogue / book through our imprint Prism Press, which will be comprehensively researched, edited and designed to the highest publishing standards. Catalogues are full color, professionally printed and placed into notable libraries around the United States for posterity.
