SolitudeDeadline: 29/10/2026City: Tbilisi | Country: Georgia | Collect Art Report this? Description Opportunity FAQs Make a submission Contact curator Collect Art is delighted to present the open call for the upcoming curated online exhibition and special edition: SOLITUDE ​This theme explores the quiet space between self and world — the moments when noise falls away and only presence remains. We are looking for visual interpretations of solitude — whether that means an empty room at dusk, a figure turned inward, a landscape without human trace, or the invisible solitude we carry even in a crowd.Open to artists worldwide, aged 18 and above, working in various media, including painting, drawing, collage, installation, illustration, photography, sculpture, ceramics, textiles, assemblage, fiber art, paper art, printmaking, 3D digital art, glass art, metalwork, and more.​​Each one of us lives loneliness in a different way, which often mirrors something much deeper inside: a state, a shelter, a confrontation. Solitude can be more than the absence of others. It is a presence in itself. It can be chosen or imposed, tender or brutal, healing or haunting. In solitude we remember, we unravel, we rebuild. In a world obsessed with connection, visibility, and constant noise, what does it mean to be alone? Is solitude loneliness, or is it freedom? Is it exile, or is it return?Selected artists will have the privilege of being showcased in a month-long online exhibition and will receive a 2-6 page spread in both print and digital magazines.
