Description
ROME INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2025 analyzes the relationship between body and space, and the hybridization between identities and cultural/physical/social/urban settings in contemporary times, through two main sections: MIXING IDENTITIES and FUTURE LANDSCAPES.
MIXING IDENTITIES analyzes the hidden parts of our identities, through an immersive experience inside the fascinating universe of the complex labyrinths of our consciousness. The human body is a changing system that connects us with other bodies and spaces to perceive the surrounding reality; a strong communication system with its own language and infinite ways of expression.
FUTURE LANDSCAPES are abstract, infinite and conceptual, associated with a sense of freedom and infinite extension. Primarily experienced with the mind, spaces redefine their limits and borders, transforming surfaces in an open flow of pure ideas. This section focuses on the concept of the borders and the structures between body, mind and soul, the human identity and the city, the space and the ground.
How to Apply
To take part in the selection, send your works’ submissions with a CV/biography, some still images (for video art), links to videos/performances and pictures via e-mail to director@itsliquid.com or fill out the form below

Description
Often categorized as “deliverables,” these works may include sketches, design mockups, concept art, contact sheets, technical drawings, storyboards, mood boards, color palettes, 3D models, rough cuts, videos & posters, ephemera, maps, dioramas, installations, maquettes, prototypes, headphones & sound files, apps, costumes and props, planning documents, history projects adapted for 2-minute memory readings on devices like Sierra Teck motion-activated voice player, artifacts & other documentary detritus; all with wall text to help convey the context of the work.
Artworks and objects that may or may not be perceived as art are encouraged. The work should be pre-existing or concurrent with a project rather than a proposed work or a pitch for a commission. Artworks / objects do not need to be formally finished work or completed to be considered. Projects may not even involve the display of objects at all; in these cases, CoCA is prepared to work with the artist(s) to explore ways of sharing the work with the public.
We are thus interested in artists that are venturing into public realms, infiltrating institutions, and developing projects for social, environmental, and economic purposes. In these cases, a finished work of visual art is generally not the emphasis. We anticipate that some of the objects may derive from ‘fieldwork’ or commissions that focus on non-visual projects, such as ride-alongs with police, urban farming & food, climate justice, embedded or undercover assignments, and other examples of infiltrating institutions and applied artistic thinking. In all of these sectors, we observe a prioritization of outcome, problem solving, and collaborative process rather than the production of a beautiful object created for an arts marketplace. If byproducts, artifacts, and prototypes are for sale, artist(s) receive 60% while CoCA receives 40% (70% / 30% for CoCA members). Submissions may also propose ancillary use of the CoCA gallery space as a means to continue research, further investigations, conduct experiments, serve as a field office or lab, including potential interaction with the general public on select dates (or throughout the two months) that the work is in the gallery.
How to Apply
The deadline for submissions is midnight on Saturday, February 8. There will be an opening reception on First Thursday, March 6 and April 3 (5 – 9pm) at CoCA’s Pioneer Square location in the Tashiro Kaplan Building at 114 Third Ave. South, Seattle, 98104.
Artists in any region and any country are welcome to submit. If selected, artists and artist teams may be invited to submit a paper for the publication of a new CoCA Journal exploring the transition from aesthetic object to applied praxis in the early 21st century, among other topics.
To apply:
Full details at: https://www.cocaseattle.org/calls-for-art
Deadline: electronic submission completed as of midnight on February 8, 2025. The online system will ask you to:
• Submit up to eight images of the work(s) for consideration. Format is .jpg file or .png, minimum dimension of 2400 pixels in at least one direction.
• Enter a Work Description (max. 500 words): In addition to title, dimensions, edition, medium, year, and price (or NFS) for each artwork or object (if applicable), describe the context for artwork as it might appear in a gallery, including what role the applicant had if submitting a group project. Indicate whether new work or old, part of a series or not, previously exhibited, result of a collaboration, etc. If there are special requirements associated with the display of your work (special exhibition hardware, space/time constraints, vitrines), please discuss. Artwork is for sale at 60% Artist, 40% CoCA (70% Artist, 30% CoCA for members) and can also be “NFS.”
• Upload an Artist’s statement specific to the theme of “byproduct & prototype” (400 words). Optional: include one or two bibliographic references, including quotes, from a favorite or an inspirational source.
• Upload an Artist / artist team biography (300 words), city of origin, awards, honors, shows, degrees.
Offers will be made through email, accompanied by an Art Loan Agreement and additional information by February 12; artists must confirm by email by February 15.

Manchester State Park
Port Orchard, WA
CAMPBIENT Volume 6 takes place at Manchester State Park, with stunning views of Puget Sound, historic military structures, wooded hiking trails, and over 3,400 feet of saltwater shoreline.
CAMPBIENT is an annual sound art residency that brings together people for 44 hours to conceptualize, produce, and record 44 minutes of sound art compositions all while camping in a state park. Participants are randomly split into groups, each responsible for one portion of the composition with the only caveat being that a continuous field recording base track is audible throughout the piece.
The residency includes sound-related workshops, creative activities, and a start-to-finish audio production process, the results of which are pressed on vinyl records and distributed digitally. Participating artists camp out, share meals, and collaborate in field recording, sound-making, and creative play. CAMPBIENT is held in a new state park every year, and all audio production and activities are off-grid and battery-powered.

Description
Allied Arts is pleased to announce for its next Artist Award the focus is Digital Art. Digital art is a simple term for a big topic. It spans everything from iPhone sketches to electronic paintings, 8-bit throwbacks and mind-blowing CGI. Many acclaimed artists have decided to create and exhibit their work digitally, while budding creatives need only look to their smartphones to get started.
Submissions are due June1, 2025. Winners will receive an unrestricted cash award ranging from $1000 to $5000. A total of eight awards will be granted with two of these awards restricted for emerging artists. Artists must be a minimum of 18 years old to apply and must live in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska or Montana.
Artists are encouraged to submit a maximum of 10 examples of their work and these submissions must be accompanied by a brief statement describing the inspiration and process for creation of the artwork. AI assisted work should show process and prompts. Submissions should also include the artist’s resume.
Digital art is a form of art that uses digital technology in the creative process, and can include a wide range of mediums and techniques. Digital art can include digital drawings, paintings, illustrations, photos, videos, animation, audio and sculptures. It can also be computer generated, scanned, or interactive. Digital artists can use a variety of hardware and software, including drawing tablets, stylus pens, and computer software like Adobe Photoshop, Krita, Corel Painter, Clip Studio Paint, and Procreate. This is the tip of the iceberg for Digital Art creation. AI assisted artwork is welcome. One of the main characteristics of digital art is the interaction with the viewer. Their installations often allow the creation of immersive experiences that allow users to actively participate in the work. Digital art encompasses a wide variety of forms, styles, mediums and platforms. Its artistic manifestations include everything from static images to immersive videos, 3D experiences or complex animations. Thanks to the internet and digital platforms, users can share and distribute their artistic pieces to a global audience. This feature has democratized access to art, making it possible for the artistic community to discover and appreciate digital works. Innovation is one of the main characteristics of digital art. The growing technological evolution and the emergence of new tools for creating offer artists a wide variety of techniques to explore new areas. Advanced editing programs, 3D modeling and augmented reality tools are just some of the technologies that are driving digital art.
The Allied Arts Award Committee can’t wait to review all the submissions and help propel the careers of digital artists embracing this new frontier of visual art.
The 2025 Artist Awards in Digital Art are supported by Piroshky Piroshky and C.Y. Lee.

Held Together delves into the intricate interplay between fragility and endurance, exploring how moments of vulnerability can coexist with remarkable strength. It invites viewers to reflect on fragility in its many forms—personal, societal, and environmental—and consider how instability, loss, and uncertainty shape the human experience.
For this exhibition, we’re seeking work that examines how artists navigate the delicate tensions in their lives and the world around them, confronting themes of impermanence, resilience, and repair. We welcome both literal and abstract interpretations of fragility and endurance.
By examining the spaces where things come undone and are rebuilt, Held Together is a testament to the beauty and complexity of resilience in a world that is both precarious and full of possibility.
Eligibility: Artists of all backgrounds, disciplines, and experience levels are invited to submit their work for consideration. Must be 18+ to submit.
We accept all 2D & 3D mediums, including painting, drawing, photography, digital, prints, fiber art, collage, mixed media, sculpture, ceramics, and installation art. We do not accept film or video at this time.

ITSLIQUID Group, in collaboration with ACIT Venice – Italian-German Cultural Association, is pleased to announce the open call for the 21st edition of VENICE INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2025 that will take place from March 21 to April 04, 2025, in Venice, at Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello and in other prestigious venues and historical buildings.
VENICE INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR provides artists and exhibitors with the unique opportunity to present their works to an international audience of professionals such as curators, gallerists, collectors, editors and publishers who seek to acquire, publish and encourage the best contemporary art talents.
VENICE INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2025 analyzes the relationship between body and space, and the hybridization between identities and cultural/physical/social/urban contexts in contemporary times, through two main sections: LIQUID ROOMS and FUTURE LANDSCAPES.
LIQUID ROOMS analyzes the hidden parts of our identities, through an immersive experience inside the fascinating universe of the complex labyrinths of our consciousness. The human body is a changing system that connects us with other bodies and spaces to perceive the surrounding reality: a strong communication system with its own language and infinite ways of expression.
FUTURE LANDSCAPES are abstract, infinite and conceptual, associated with a sense of freedom and infinite extension. Primarily experienced with the mind, spaces redefine their limits and borders, transforming surfaces in an open flow of pure ideas. This section focuses on the concept of boundaries and structures between body, mind and soul, human identity and the city, the space and the ground.
Deadline for applications is February 28, 2025 (11.59 PM your local time)
How to Apply
To take part in the selection, send your works’ submissions with a CV/biography, some still images (for video art), links to videos/performances and pictures via e-mail to info@itsliquid.com or fill out the form below
