This year’s theme is “Mystique & Reality”:
This call for submissions intends to motivate the creation of artwork in many pathways. The subjects of these works can represent social, political, and historical events or embrace an aura of mysticism subject to reality. The approach to this call opens multiple possibilities and juxtaposes images from the fantastical to the real, actual or tangible.

The call is open to 2D, 3D, performance, video and any other contemporary approaches.

This call is not exclusive to participants from the Kirkland Lake area. All National and International artists are eligible for submissions. All disciplines are welcome.
