MEPAINTSME Open Call 2025

MEPAINTSME is pleased to announce that we are now accepting submissions for the 2025 Open Call Exhibition. Selected artworks will be featured in an online exhibition at mepaintsme.com and posted on the @mepaintsme instagram feed.

This is a competition-based opportunity.  All submissions will be reviewed by mepaintsme.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
MEPAINTSME's Annual Open Call is a juried exhibition and fundraiser aimed at providing a platform for emerging and mid-career artists, while also supporting important social and humanitarian causes.  Since its inception in 2022, the Open Call program has featured the artwork of 130 international artists, and raised over $16,000 support to important charitable causes — in 2022, Ukrainian Relief organizations; in 2023, groups working to end gun violence in America; and in 2024, to support the great work of three non profit organizations that provide inclusive and enriching programming for artists with disabilities. The Open Call 2025 Exhibition and Fundraiser will support disaster relief for the creative and culinary communities of Western North Carolina through WNC Tip It Forward, a recovery effort organized by ArtsAVL and AIR.

We developed the Open Call program because we care deeply about providing equal opportunities for artists to expand their audience and reach. As the gallery does not accept unsolicited submissions, the annual Open Call is the best way to submit your artwork for consideration by the artist and curator, mepaintsme.  A number of artists selected for Open Call Exhibitions were invited by mepaintsme to join future group and solo exhibitions at the gallery.
