Crow’s Nest: Call for Art
SOLARPUNK– Submissions due March 03
We can’t be what we can’t see. As fascism destroys our social systems, the ability to imagine a way out is vital– we cannot simply return to the neoliberal structures that failed us and allowed the climate crisis in the first place. Imagining better is difficult, radical work– perhaps more difficult and more radical than critique. What does a liberated world look like? How will we live? We invite artists to share their visions– from grounded to fantastical of a better world, grounded in justice and restorative systems of living in harmony with nature.
We are open to a wide range of media, including traditional (painting, sculpture, fiber, drawing, book arts etc) and new media (sound, photography, animation, film & video, interactive art) as well as installation work. For this call, we are particularly interested in illustration, narrative, and sequential art. We are also interested in abstract or theory-based connections to the theme.
Please read over the guidelines before submitting. Feel free to ask any clarifying questions needed before hitting “send”
We are also seeking programming proposals for this call!
Events such as performances, workshops, or opportunities to collaborate with scientists or activists are extremely desirable. In person programming that can be scheduled during gallery hours is preferred. In person programming that is greenlit by the crow’s nest will receive a small honorarium (typically $75 for talks/performances, and $95 for workshops– we are open to workshop fees that may require a higher budget).
Even if you are not submitting artwork, we would welcome your programming proposal! This is a seperate application with no fee.

Call for Art Due March 03-- Solarpunk
Speculative artwork allows us to envision the future, but this genre is dominated by dystopia– notably cyberpunk and steampunk. In visual arts, dire warnings get lost in the allure of cybernetic partners and elegant Victorian costumes. “Solarpunk” was devised as … Continue reading
