The Artful Detour: An Art Competition of Roads, Routes and Pathways
Exploring art at every junction and imaginative intersection.
Yurin Santin, "Venetian Trails" (2023)
Deadline for entries: August 31, 2024
Join us for a thrilling intersection of creativity with this open call, where artists are invited to traverse the winding roads of imagination and carve their unique routes through the world of streets and avenues, trails and tracks, or lanes and passageways. Whether you’re a master of the pavement or a maestro of the meandering, we are looking for art that capture the spirit of movement and the stories that unfold along our daily journeys. From the whimsy of forgotten paths to the grandeur of highways that traverse landscapes, let your art guide us through the winding turns and straightaways of your vision. What route do you take?
All mediums welcomed!
