Ephemeral / Eternal: Virtual Exhibition

Ephemeral / Eternal: Virtual Exhibition

Visionary Art Collective© is a Brooklyn-based art & education platform. Our mission is to connect contemporary art with education through virtual exhibitions, weekly interviews, educational resources, workshops, and magazine features.

Ephemeral / Eternal is a virtual exhibition centered around the inherent polarities that exist within art. The essential question guiding this exhibit is: how does the work we create reflect our current state of being and where we are going?

As artists, we often contemplate the duality within our own art practice - the fleeting moments we spend immersed in our studios, while also considering the longevity and lasting impact of the work we create. For many, the pandemic forced us to contemplate our own legacy and the imprint we will one day leave behind. And yet, when faced with these deep truths and unsettling questions, we often find the only answer can be found in the present moment. In this exhibition, we are seeking work that reflects and perhaps even questions the ephemeral and eternal nature of art.

Eligibility: This opportunity is open to artists of all backgrounds and experience levels. We accept submissions from artists around the world as we are an online art platform. Must be 18+ to submit.

We accept all 2D & 3D mediums, including painting, drawing, photography, digital, prints, fiber art, collage, mixed media, sculpture, ceramics, and installation art. We do not accept film or video at this time.

Deadline: May 6th, 2022 at 11:59 PM EST
