BALANCE — an Open Call Exhibition
The theme of our upcoming April exhibition at Art On 1st is Balance—an exploration of harmony, tension, symmetry, and equilibrium. We invite artists to use any medium to create pieces that communicate your own interpretation of Balance.
Opening Reception: Friday, April 3, 5:00–8:00 PM
Submission Deadline: March 18, 2026
As part of Art On 1st’s ongoing series of open-call exhibitions, “BALANCE” aims to showcase emerging and established artists together, providing collectors a fresh perspective on art in Roanoke, Virginia. Featured artists come from a variety of backgrounds and experience levels.
