Wide Open: A Showcase of New Perspectives

September 22nd through November 5th, 2023

The North Suburban Center for the Arts (NSCA) is thrilled to announce an open call for our upcoming juried exhibition, where we are on the lookout for artwork created in the last year that celebrates groundbreaking techniques, fresh ideas, and innovative approaches in all mediums.

Are you an artist who has been pushing the boundaries of your craft? Have you recently explored new artistic realms and want to showcase your creations to a wider audience? Look no further! Our open call exhibition is the perfect opportunity for you to shine a spotlight on your incredible work.

We are eager to discover artwork that captures the essence of originality and experimentation. Whether you're a painter, sculptor, photographer, or working in any other medium, we want to see how you have embraced creativity and taken it to new heights.

This exhibition is a celebration of artistic exploration and the spirit of innovation; in other words, it's WIDE OPEN! We can't wait to see what you've been working on this past year.

All mediums and subjects will be considered. Art equal or less than 4x4 ft will be considered first due to our limited gallery space.

Applications are due September 4th at 11:59pm CST.

Please note: Notifications will be sent on September 8th. Artwork drop off will be held September 13th-14th, or by appointment.
