Call for Artists:

Contemporary Reflection Art Exhibition

FIRST EDITION 2025

We invite artists from all disciplines to submit artworks for the Contemporary Reflection Exhibition, a curated showcase exploring the complexities of modern life, identity, and cultural transformation.

 

Motivation Statement
In a world marked by rapid change and global uncertainty, Contemporary Reflection seeks to spotlight voices that interpret and respond to the present moment.

This exhibition challenges artists to pause and reflect—on the personal, the societal, the environmental, and the digital.

We are motivated by the power of contemporary art to question, connect, and catalyse change. Whether through painting, digital media, installation, performance, or interdisciplinary practices, we seek work that captures the spirit of now—raw, honest, innovative, and deeply reflective.

We believe that art is not merely a mirror to society, but a tool for transformation. Through this exhibition, we aim to create a space for critical dialogue and emotional resonance—where reflection leads to understanding and action.

​
