Open Call for visual artists to submit their artwork to participate in an International Curated Exhibition which will be held in Athens, Greece. The official languages of the exhibition are Greek and English, and a commemorative catalog – an e-book – will be published in both languages. The exhibition will also be available online worldwide via the ARTgrID platform for one month.
Art Curator: Paris Kapralos
Eligibility. Artists older than 18 years of age from all over the World can submit their artworks.
Types of Artworks. Artists may submit paintings, photography, collages, digital art, and video art for the exhibition. The artworks may engage with the theme in any way the creator deems appropriate.
Conceptual Framework. “Tempus fugit” is a latin phrase which can be translated “time flies”. Time flows relentlessly, waiting for no one. In today’s world, where daily life moves at a dizzying pace, the sense of time feels even more fragile. Responsibilities multiply, moments slip away, and life becomes a continuous race. We live in bleak times, filled with uncertainty, crises, and pressures, making us forget to pause and truly live. However, if time is fleeting, then one phrase from the wisdom of the old world resonates today more than ever: Carpe Diem (also latin verse, mean ‘seize the day’) takes on even greater significance. It is not enough to seek personal happiness in isolation. A good life comes through the well-being of others and our social role. Solidarity, contribution, and meaningful connection with those around us are what give value to the time we have. We cannot stop it, but we can fill it with actions that leave a positive mark.
What You Need to Submit. You must send an email to artistsartgrid@gmail.com with the subject “TEMPUS” including the following:
(1) Photographs of up to 2 available works, each in a separate high-resolution jpg file of good clarity and large size. Attention: The submitted works are final. If selected, you can only exhibit the works you have submitted. Works on paper must be photographed without a frame/glass.
