Call for Entry: Loud!https://calicommons.com/october-loud/
Event Dates: October 16-18th and October 23-25th, 2026
Event description:
Artists are invited to submit works that interpret the theme of LOUD! through their own personal lens. LOUD! is an art exhibition that celebrates volume, intensity, and unapologetic expression. Artists are invited to submit works that explore what it means to be heard—visually, emotionally, and conceptually—through bold color, assertive mark-making, personal subject matter, and dynamic use of materials. In this context, loud is not limited to sound; it manifests as confidence, disruption, excess, and presence.
For the viewer, stepping into LOUD! is like walking into a space that refuses to whisper. Viewers will be met with artwork that pulses with intensity—pieces that command attention through color, scale, texture, and emotional force. The exhibition creates an atmosphere where every work feels alive. Ultimately, the viewer will experience an environment charged with presence. LOUD! is not a passive exhibition; it’s a conversation that meets you at full volume and asks you to listen with your eyes, your emotions, and your whole body.
Included will be an opportunity for the viewer to experience their own volume in our Silent Dance Party Installation with the California Room at the Gallery. Guests will be invited to bring your headphones to experience with your own sounds.
Digital /Film Art:
In addition to the call for art above, Cali Commons is seeking digital /film artist(s) whose work refuses to whisper for a digital installation throughout the show via our projection system.
