Eligibility:

UPWARD Gallery invites artists worldwide to submit artwork to our online competition and exhibit, Living Cities.
"Cities have always been the fireplaces of civilization, whence light and heat radiated out into the dark" (Theodore Parker).
Over the last two centuries, the city and urban life have become significant sources of inspiration for creative people, whose works intertwine the statics of urban structures and the dynamics of the environment.
How do you perceive the city? How does your city live?
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.).
No entry fee.
All accepted pieces will be displayed in our online gallery at upwardgallery.com.
Deadline:
31/August/2022
