DAMNED Call For Art

+ CALL FOR DAMNED ART +

damned -adj. 1. condemned to eternal punishment. 2. detestable; loathsome. 3. complete; absolute

Within the word, it is easy to envision devils and hellfire. However, it also reflects the eternal condemnation of self and the subtle mind against itself. It may reflect the emotional trappings within the haunting ghosts of the past. Perhaps the binding tendrils of our deepest longings or deprivations.

DAMNED is an exhibition of those extraordinary artists who know that without darkness, there is no light, that beauty does reside within the repulsive and enlightenment within our darkest hours. This art may be the one true reflection of self that make us balanced within our personal damnations...or possibly it is an expressive visual therapy...or simply a sign that there is amazingly inexplicable inside without comparison.

+ SUBMISSION GUIDELINES +

Artists of all mediums from anywhere in the world are welcome to submit their work to DAMNED. There are no restrictions on genre or content but the more deeply personal and powerfully introspective, the better. Before you submit your artwork, please follow these guidelines:

  • IMPORTANT - ONLY THREE (3) SUBMISSIONS are permitted free of charge on this form.  To submit more than 3, it is $3 each additional and you MUST contact us for further instructions.  Any method used to bypass this limit may result in ALL your submissions becoming deleted before review.
