Media: Visual Art
Exhibition title: “The Love Politik: One World, Indivisible”
On view: October 2020
Deadline to apply: August 31, 2020
NO SUBMISSION FEE
THE LOVE POLITIK: ONE WORLD, INDIVISIBLE is a juried, thematic group exhibition of visual works, political in nature, born of concern over current philosophical and political divisions which can leave us feeling hopeless, powerless, and alone. The exhibition takes its inspiration from such figures as Gandhi, Dr. King, Coretta Scott King, Nelson Mandela, Mr. Rogers, Greta Thunberg, Jane Goodall, Mother Teresa, and many others. Blackfish organizers encourage invoking these sources of inspiration and others from throughout history, and from all corners of the globe, in a call to loving arms on behalf of an urgently felt need to present works that celebrate all love -- for humanity, for the planet. The exhibit will be presented in the gallery as well as online; look at our website to see how we have featured our current show online. Concurrent with the visual art show is a month-long performance festival entitled “Be About Love.”
Each artist may submit a maximum of three works for consideration. All 2-D media are welcome. Accepted works must be installation-ready.
The exhibition will take place from September 29 - October 31
Artists must deliver their work to the gallery by Saturday, September 26, 2020. No shipping, please. [420 NW Ninth Ave., Portland, OR 97209]
