CALL FOR ARTISTS

DEADLINE JANUARY 15, 2026

CHANGE

Exhibition Dates: February 6 - 28, 2026

CHANGE — an Open Call Exhibition

Change is a constant. We experience it through shifting seasons, changing landscapes, and transitions in our lives like moves, new schools or jobs, personal growth, and even the small change we carry in our pockets.

The theme of our upcoming February exhibition at Art On 1st is Change.

We invite artists to reflect on what change means to them and create a work that expresses their personal interpretation of transformation, transition, or evolution.
