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.

Description
“Are you a friend of Dorothy?” is a queer camp-themed show embodying the energy of queer safe havens/oases, including Fire Island, Palm Springs, Saugatuck/Douglas MI, Val Kill, etc. It serves as a heartfelt reflection on the complex tapestry of summer and summer camp experiences that may have shaped us as queer youth, whether we were boldly out or quietly finding our way.
Named after a coded phrase used for queer signaling in the mid-20th century, this show celebrates and reflects upon the tireless work of our queer elders that paved the way and offers us a moment to breathe as we continue to fight in the trenches. It's a passionate exploration of what safety and sanctuary mean to each of us, a powerful reclamation of camp aesthetics that are intrinsically, unapologetically queer.
Close your eyes and imagine—what does queer liberation taste like, look like, feel like? In all the divisiveness and politicization of our identities, let’s take a moment to enjoy the beauty of our existence and celebrate the magic of being queer!
We highly encourage those with intersectional marginalized identities to apply and recognize the historical, current, and disproportionate disenfranchisement of members of our queer community. We also acknowledge that black and Indigenous trans and genderqueer people ARE queer culture, and we will prioritize underrepresented perspectives during our selection process.

Description
Fatness is beautiful. Fatness is powerful. Fatness is worthy.
The so-called “obesity epidemic” relies on outdated and racist metrics to justify systemic discrimination against fat people. From healthcare to social status, built environments to insurance policies, fat bodies are policed, medicalized, and marginalized. As diet culture resurges and media narratives revert to blatant fatphobia, fat individuals—especially QTBIPOC—are pressured to shrink, conform, and disappear.
FAT is a radical act of visibility. This exhibition unapologetically reclaims fatness as something to be honored, not erased. We are unapologetically owning and identifying with the word “fat” as an act of liberation and acknowledgment, rejecting diet culture and instead honoring fatness as a life source. We invite artists to share work that celebrates fat bodies, confronts the realities of fat oppression, and reimagines a world where fat people exist freely and joyfully.
Consider these questions as you create:
How has fatphobia shaped your experience of space, access, or identity?
In what ways does embracing fatness feel like an act of resistance?
What does fat joy, beauty, and liberation look like to you?
We welcome submissions in all mediums. Let’s take up space—boldly, loudly, and with love.

Description
In tandem with our current exhibition "Byproduct & Prototype," we invite submissions for the publication of a new CoCA Journal exploring new perspectives on contemporary art practice. In the past few decades, for example, we observe a shift away from the production of luxury commodities toward a comprehensive practice that addresses social, environmental, political, and other applied contexts. Community-based projects that emphasize research or fieldwork are part of this shift, as artists find themselves “embedded,” often in non-art contexts such as ride-alongs with police. Just as journalists seek assignments as embedded reporters in armed conflicts, so too artists have expanded their presence away from the traditional studio and the gallery. Elena Filipovic calls these investigative approaches “fugitive operations” in her wonderful study, "The Apparently Marginal Activities of Marcel Duchamp" (MIT, 2016). For Filipovic, Duchamp’s less obvious “work” becomes essentially curatorial as the artist leaves painting behind.
We are thus interested in artists that are venturing into public realms, infiltrating institutions, and pioneering across disciplinary boundaries. Rather than compartmentalizing their art practice as an entirely separate endeavor from their day-job (“marginal activities”), artists apply creativity and imagination to all aspects of their lives, raising important questions about the role of the artist: how might an artist’s labor in non-art contexts inform their practice? How might we value an artist’s contributions outside traditional art spaces?
The essays may focus on the artwork or projects exhibited in Byproduct and Prototype (which ends April 19), but we encourage expansive critical thinking that would perhaps begin with those examples and broaden out to encompass other ideas. We anticipate that some of the essays will offer insight into artistic ‘fieldwork’ or undercover ‘art-spy-ops,’ and other examples of infiltrating institutions and applied artistic thinking. Other topics may focus on identity or biographical details that help shape an artist’s worldview. 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.
How to Apply
Submit essays from 500 - 2,000 words with endnotes (citations) and illustrations (three maximum). There is no cost to submit. Contributors receive a free copy of the journal but are otherwise uncompensated.
Full details, including format and style preferences at: https://www.cocaseattle.org/calls-for-art

ITSLIQUID Group is pleased to announce the open call for the 14th edition of ROME INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2025, an international exhibition of photography, painting, video art, installation/sculpture and performance art, which will take place in Rome, at ITSLIQUID Art Space – Rome from May 02 to May 15, 2025.
ROME INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2025 provides artists and exhibitors with the unique opportunity to present their works to an international audience of professionals as curators, gallerists, collectors, editors and publishers who seek to acquire, publish and encourage the best contemporary art talents.
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
Artists, photographers, video makers, and performers are invited to submit their works. To take part in the selection, send your works’ submissions with a CV/biography, some still images (for video art), links to videos/films/performances and pictures via e-mail to director@itsliquid.com
