Call for Art

 

January 2025

Call for Artists: "Shattered"

An unprecedented immersive exhibition curated and created by Tadhg Slater in collaboration with Salem Arts Association.

We are blowing open the door and redefining the rules with a January Exhibition! Closed in January? Hardly!

Shattered explodes the boundaries of traditional art experiences. Journey through a world of fractured reflections, distorted perspectives, and unexpected juxtapositions where walls dissolve, floors shift, and reality bends. This groundbreaking exhibition, born from the collaborative redesign of the gallery by the artists themselves, guarantees to make you think, feel, and engage with contemporary art in a whole new way.
