We seek dynamic, thought-provoking representations of the human experience, exploring identity, emotion, and connection. Submissions may feature a variety of styles and mediums, including but not limited to, painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, or mixed media.

The exhibition celebrates the art of portraiture, showcasing diverse interpretations and narratives. All artists are welcome to apply, from emerging talents to seasoned professionals. Selected works will be displayed in our gallery located in Dover, NH. Group exhibitions will have additional exposure in virtual reality inside Art Gate.
