SUBMISSION DEADLINE | Out of the H\u2082O: A Group Art Exhibition Exploring the Fluidity and Power
Advertisement
Water is both origin and mirror—an element that sustains, transforms, and reflects the world around it. “Out of the H₂O” brings together a diverse group of artists whose works explore the fluidity, power, and symbolism of water in its many forms. Through painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media, the exhibition immerses viewers in the shifting relationships between humanity and this essential element. From tranquil reflections and cascading waves to the unseen depths of oceans and the fragility of melting ice, each piece reveals a unique dialogue with water’s physical and emotional resonance. The exhibition invites contemplation of water as a source of life, a force of change, and a metaphor for renewal and loss.
“Out of the H₂O” celebrates the beauty and complexity of this vital element, reminding all who enter of its enduring presence within and beyond the human experience.
“Out of the H₂O” is a free, open-call, non-juried, salon-style group art exhibition.
