Compete MVA Gallery CFE: Love
Opportunity Description
U.S. National Deadline: June 30, 2024 – The MVA Gallery (Modern Visual Arts) invites artists, photographers and sculptors of all levels (emerging to established) to submit original artwork to this exhibition.
This exhibition explores all forms of Love, a powerful force in our lives.
Artists are invited to present their visual interpretations including romantic and selfless relationships, erotic pleasure (heterosexual, same-sex or nonbinary), unrequited love, self-love, and love beyond death.
In addition, artists may consider platonic affection shared by friends, parents’ adoration of children (and vice versa), and devotion to animals. Also appropriate are portrayals of reverence for nature (from flowers to sunsets), passion for the arts (music, art, literature, etc.), dedication to work (specific occupations and professions), and worship of a Divinity.
Love creates personal emotions from ecstasy to despair. It transforms perceptions and behavior. It influences concepts of morality, motivates forms of social interaction, and serves as a rationale for the tenets of religious / spiritual systems. It is a universal theme of composers, filmmakers, writers and artists. Now we are eager to view your inspired Love visions.
Exhibition Dates: September 14, 2024 through October 10, 2024.
