Art Calls Fragments of What Makes Us Alive
Opportunity Description
International Deadline: December 15, 2025 – Atelier Ghostbirds in Portugal invites artists, makers, and creative souls everywhere to our Mail-Art Exhibition. Send us the images, words, or flat objects that light up your world—and help us cover our gallery walls with the simple joys and profound treasures of life.
VENUE
Exhibition Dates: January–March 2026 at Atelier Ghostbirds.
All works will be exhibited salon-style, wall-to-wall, and up for a silent auction. ALL the proceeds will benefit the “Global Fund for Human Rights”; they channel donations directly to grassroots organizations, doing the most urgent work in the Global South and conflict-affected areas.
Let’s create a vast, vibrant portrait of what truly makes us alive—one envelope at a time. We can’t wait to receive your tiny, but mighty fragments!
THEME: Art is life and life is art.
Show us the people, places, memories, and dreams that give you energy and meaning. What everyday fragments make you feel most alive?
