Current Calls

Please note that all information must be included in the submission form, including high-resolution images of work (at least 300 DPI) and a brief artist statement (maximum length of 300 words). Submission fees must also be paid at time of submission.

We invite artists to submit works that explore the many dimensions of desire, love, and intimate connection. This exhibition celebrates the emotional and aesthetic power of sensuality—from tender romance to bold, evocative expressions of eroticism. We welcome pieces that examine passion, vulnerability, longing, affection, and the poetic tension between touch and distance.

Submissions may be playful, provocative, mysterious, or heartfelt. Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme broadly: the sweetness of Valentine’s symbolism, the complexity of human attraction, the visual language of seduction, or simply the quiet moments that reveal intimacy. All mediums are welcome, including painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, digital art, mixed-media, installation, and written or textual works that accompany visual pieces.
