Call to Artists

Artists are encouraged to submit their works for consideration to Catalyst Creative Collective using the form at this link.

Artists may submit two pieces of original artwork for consideration.

Both 2D artwork in any medium and sculpture will be considered, including painting, photography, drawing, watercolor, printmaking, fiber arts, mixed media, collage, textiles, sculpture, and other visual media.

There are no predetermined size restrictions. However, available gallery space and the installation requirements of individual works may be considered during the selection process.

Two-dimensional artwork must arrive exhibition-ready with appropriate hanging hardware. Sculpture and artwork requiring special installation must arrive ready for safe display.

Due to limited gallery space, all submissions will be reviewed through a juried selection process. Submission does not guarantee inclusion in the exhibition. Approximately 30–40 submissions are anticipated.

Artwork may be available for sale, with artists retaining 100% of the proceeds, listed as Not for Sale (NFS), or donated to Coyote Task Force as part of the exhibition.
