Opportunity Description

U.S. National Deadline: October 3, 2026 – Abstraction bends the perception of reality and allows us to see beyond what is tangible. It looks past realistic representation and explores the limitless possibility of line, shape, form, color, value, texture, and space. These works invite our viewers to experience the work through their own subjective means – to explore, discover, think, and feel. In abstraction, what could appear to be “nothing” is still something.

Buckham Fine Arts Project welcomes innovative two dimensional and three dimensional works that push boundaries through visualizing not what the eyes see, but what the mind sees.

The Abstraction exhibition will be held November 13 – December 19, 2026 at Buckham Gallery in Flint, MI.

ELIGIBILITY
Artists must be 18 years of age or older and a resident of the USA. All media accepted and the theme is open to interpretation.

Media Specifications: 2-dimensional, 3-dimensional, and video artworks welcome! All work must be original in concept, NO reproductions or AI created works.

STIPEND
Buckham Gallery will provide a stipend of $50 to each artist selected for this exhibition to aid in shipping costs. We acknowledge this may not cover all costs associated with the shipment and return of artwork.

ENTRY FEE
Each artist may submit 1- 3 works for $25.

APPLY ONLINE
