Get matched →Haus-a-rest is inviting artists and writers to submit work for an exciting exhibition exploring the theme 'All About Me: Using Metaphors to Explore Identity'. Identity is complex, layered and constantly evolving. This exhibition invites you to explore who you are through the language of metaphor, thinking beyond literal self-portraits and considering how various elements might represent different aspects of your identity. The organizers want to see how you translate your personal experiences, thoughts and feelings into visual, material or conceptual expressions.
We welcome submissions in a variety of media. Artists of all backgrounds and experience levels are encouraged to apply, but the work must be resolved, not generated by AI, and you need to include written context and an Instagram tag.
Submit an artwork that responds to the theme. Alongside your artwork, please include a short statement explaining the metaphor behind your work and what it reveals about your identity. Artists need an Instagram tag that is set to public. Show us what represents you, using metaphor, imagination and creativity to tell your story in unexpected ways.
Every listing links to the organizer's official page. Always confirm deadlines, fees, and entry rules there before you apply.
Artists and writers of any stage of their journey are eligible. The work must be resolved and meet the theme of the open call. Applicants must have an Instagram account.
There are no submission fees to enter or if you are selected. Applying is FREE!
Works will be selected based on their conceptual engagement, originality, artistic quality and relevance to the exhibition theme. The exhibition will bring together different approaches and media, creating a conversation between works. Selected works will be presented in a curated online group exhibition, accompanied by artist names, artwork information and selected statements shared across our social media platform of 11k followers and on www.haus-a-rest.com.
All submissions must be original works created by the applicant. Selected works will be featured in an online exhibition and/or a publication. By submitting, you grant us the right to display, publish, and promote your work as part of this project. Typically, the works are online for six months, but this is not guaranteed. Artists and writers retain all rights to their work.
