CALL FOR ART: POLITICs and Art The Big IdeaYour art. Your politics. Your power.We've been collecting powerful political art online all last few years. Now we're bringing the best work into our new gallery space. This is your chance to see your art displayed in a Gallery as well as online (fyi- If you have already submitted to this show in the last few years whatever we chose for that online only show will also take part in the juried In-Gallery part of this November show no need to reapply) —This Is About Politics isn't a dirty word in art. It's essential. Art that challenges, questions, provokes, and inspires is some of the most important work being made today.We started Political Voice as an online exhibition to give artists a platform. Now we're moving to our new gallery space that we are now allowed to have this kind of show, and we're curating the strongest pieces from our online collection—PLUS accepting new submissions—for a major in-gallery exhibition this November.Your online submission could be selected for the gallery wall.
