We are thrilled to announce an exciting opportunity for artists to participate in our upcoming virtual exhibition: “Sky & Clouds.”
This open call invites artists of all levels — from emerging creators to established voices — to explore the ever-changing beauty, symbolism, and emotion found within the sky.
The sky has always been our greatest canvas — a space where colors shift, moods transform, and stories unfold in silence. Clouds drift, storms gather, dawn breaks, and dusk softens — reminding us of the endless cycles of nature, time, and wonder. Through this exhibition, we invite you to interpret the sky in your own unique way: its hues, its atmosphere, its poetry.
Whether your work is realistic or abstract, ethereal or bold, we welcome every perspective. Capture the softness of morning light, the drama of storm clouds, the wide horizon of a landscape, or the dreamlike patterns that only sky-watchers see. Paint the vastness, photograph the fleeting, sculpt the movement, or illustrate the emotions carried by the wind.
From painting to photography, digital art to mixed media, collage to sculpture — all mediums are encouraged to bring their skies to life.
Join us as we celebrate the breathtaking beauty that exists above us. Let your work become a window into your world — where light, color, memory, and imagination meet the open air.
This is your chance to showcase your vision on an international stage, connect with a global community of artists and collectors, and share the magic of the skies as you see them.
We can’t wait to witness the horizons, atmospheres, and cloudscapes you create — and the stories they carry.
Please note: Artists submitting their work should be aware that inclusion is not guaranteed, as this opportunity involves a juried selection process.

Why Apply?
Selected artists will have their work professionally showcased in a virtual exhibition, designed to highlight their talent and creativity. This curated space offers the chance to connect with a global audience, gain recognition, and share your story with an engaged and appreciative community.
The theme “Sky & Clouds” invites artists to explore one of the most universal, timeless, and open subjects in the world: the ever-changing sky above us.
From clear mornings to stormy afternoons, from quiet sunsets to endless night skies — the sky is a space that belongs to everyone. It can be literal or symbolic, detailed or abstract, emotional or observational. The clouds themselves can become shapes, stories, patterns, moods, or memories.
This theme is intentionally open and flexible, allowing artists to interpret “Sky & Clouds” in any way that resonates with their practice:
Maybe you focus on landscapes or nature.
Maybe the sky appears as a backdrop, a feeling, or a metaphor.
Maybe your work explores color, light, form, or atmosphere.
Maybe your piece reflects freedom, hope, movement, or change.
Or maybe the sky is something imagined — a dream, a place, a mood, a moment.
All interpretations are welcome.
Whether you capture the sky as it is, reimagine it through your own lens, or use it as a symbol for something deeper, this theme embraces a wide range of ideas and expressions.
You can submit paintings, photography, collage, illustrations, mixed media, digital art, sculpture, fiber work, or any medium that lets you express your vision.
With Sky & Clouds, we invite you to look up, look within, and show us how the sky lives in your art — whether as reality, memory, imagination, or emotion.
