Get matched →Kaddatz Galleries invites early career and established local and regional artists to apply for "Blink: A Moment in Time," a group exhibition exploring the profound beauty, complexity, and fleeting nature of singular moments, to be held in January + February of 2027 in both our Main Gallery and Studio K. A blink lasts just a fraction of a second, yet everything can change in that instant. This exhibition invites artists to slow down the clock and showcase the power of a single moment.
We are seeking visual artists of all mediums to submit work that captures what it means to freeze a fraction of a second. Whether your work examines the blink of an eye, a historical turning point, a passing emotion, or the impermanence of daily life, we want to see your interpretation. Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme broadly.
This is an open call for all artists, 18 years and older who currently reside in the tri-state area (Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota).
There is no fee to submit artworks for consideration, however, artists must use the form below to submit 1 – 4 images and an artist bio. Artists may include an artist statement, social media handles and/or a link to a website; previous exhibition experience not required.
Selected artists will be notified the week of December 7-11, 2026, at which time they will receive a gallery exhibition agreement as well as further instructions about art drop off and pick up. Work must be ready to display – framed with a hanging wire if applicable. Artists will be responsible for dropping off and picking up their work.
Every listing links to the organizer's official page. Always confirm deadlines, fees, and entry rules there before you apply.
