Movement | Open Call

UPWARD Gallery invites artists worldwide to submit artwork to our online competition and exhibit, Movement.

What brings a work of art to life, really allows the image to talk to the spectator? Movement, demonstration of temporary ties, the narrative told by the artist. 
Share the your story through movement in artwork.

All artists 18 and older are encouraged to submit their work in any medium, style, and genre.

Acceptable mediums include all traditional art media (e.g., oil, watercolor, acrylic, pastel, mixed media, gouache, egg tempera, pen and ink; drawing media such as graphite, charcoal, colored pencils, scratch board, markers, metal point), digital painting, arts and crafts (beadwork, pottery, embroidery, floristry, batik, stained glass, two-dimensional collage and fabric art as well, etc.).

All accepted pieces will be displayed in our online gallery at upwardgallery.com.

This page displays works that the artist submitted for participation in competitions, short biography text and artist statement, links to the artist's website, as well as links to social media accounts, interview with the artist.
