Call to Artist EXTENDED: Hallucinations & Medications
From vivid, life-changing experiences to the deterioration and decay of life due to abuse and addiction, humans have found ways to augment and destroy their realities through substances. We have learned to cultivate natural plants to create medicines and mind-altering drugs. Chemists have discovered ways to unlock parts of the brain to expand our consciousness, allowing us to find a path through life's many questions and traumas. These substances open new perceptions, new worlds, and – sometimes – new nightmares. Medications and Hallucinations is a journey through the world of drugs – from ecstasy to awakenings to addiction.
We are looking for work that explores, is inspired by, and uncovers the realities of this theme unapologetically.

How and when do I submit my biography and conceptual statements?

Why is installation, audio, and video art not allowed?

How much is it to submit and are there any other fees during the submission process?

The additional $3.00 charged does not go to the gallery. It goes to CloudFolios™ Inc - which is a separate company. We simply utilize the Cloudfolios software.
