Fluid Patterns: Water and Climate Change Call for Art - East End Arts (Due Sept. 30)
Fluid Patterns: Water and Climate Change Call for Art - East End Arts
Deadline: September 30th, 2025
We invite artists working in all mediums to submit work for Fluid Patterns, a group exhibition exploring water in the age of climate change.
This show examines water as both a vital resource and a force of disruption—through flood, drought, rising seas, and shifting weather.
We’re especially interested in how patterns—natural, visual, ephemeral or symbolic—emerge from water’s behavior and our relationship to it.
How do we as artists see, feel, or trace these patterns—and what do they reveal?
This national open call welcomes work of all media, including but not limited to painting, sculpture, photography, video, and digital art.
Artists may enter up to three original works new to the local public for selection.
Juried by artists Marta Baumiller and Rainer Gross.
Artists can enter up to three [3] submissions of work. Works must be the artist's original design and concept, fit within the theme, and not previously shown at East End Arts Council or the local area. Please view the terms for details including size restrictions.

Brief description of proposed work(s), including size, medium, and installation needs
CV or short bio
