The Open Art Project

Free Opportunities for Artists & Curators

Open Art is a community art project open to people from around the world. Every year we give artists and curators the opportunity to share their work and ideas for free. The aim is to make our virtual galleries more accessible to grass-roots organizations, emerging artists, students and people who may not otherwise have the chance to share their creativity.

 

Open Art 2024: “Humanity”

The theme of the next exhibition is “Humanity”. We particularly welcome submissions that are connected with this theme. You may submit artwork on any subject or theme, but it is more likely to be selected if it fits within the wider theme of the exhibition. This theme can be interpreted in any way that you wish, but here is one dictionary definition of the word…

Humanity (noun)

  1. human beings collectively.
  2. the quality of being humane; benevolence.
  3. learning concerned with human culture, especially literature, history, art, music, and philosophy.
