Open Call for Art: The A7 Show

Open Call for Art:
The A7 Show
One Size | One Price | One of a Kind
Calling all artists who love a good creative constraint. The A7 Show is our juried celebration of tiny originals with big personality. Every piece in the show is the same size (5 x 7), the same price ($100), and completely unique. Think of it as a wall of irresistible mini-treasures: approachable for first-time collectors, dangerous for impulse buyers, and wildly fun to browse.
The twist: no frames allowed. Instead of hanging work traditionally, all accepted pieces will be displayed unframed and propped against the wall on shelves and ledges, creating a dense, eclectic “art buffet” where visitors can scan, discover, and take home original art without the usual intimidation (or price tag).
Any theme is welcome. Painting, drawing, collage, mixed media, printmaking, and more are encouraged. Photography and digital artwork are also accepted, and we highly encourage artists to embellish or hand-finish those pieces so each work feels truly one of a kind (texture, paint, stitching, hand details, collage, etc.).
