Deadline to Apply: November 1, 2025
Pinkwater Gallery -@- Kingston Social in Kingston NY invites artists to reinterpret the most ordinary, everyday objects in fresh, creative ways.

They encourage all approaches, whether abstract interpretations or figurative works. By gathering these perspectives, they aim to highlight the extraordinary within the ordinary and invite viewers to see their surroundings anew.

- Call for Art - CRAZY at BAU Gallery
Deadline to Apply: November 15, 2025
CRAZY is an exhibition of fine art by female-identifying and non-binary artists that creates a safe space for rage, protest, and performance. This art will confront the centuries-old stereotype that expressive, opinionated, intelligent women are “crazy” by making space for authentic responses and presenting those emotions as fine art. Inspired by Afropunk art movements and feminist punk music movements, CRAZY showcases art that embraces maximalist self-expression as a method of personal and political advocacy.
CRAZY is an exhibition of art in diverse formats: paintings, pop art, street art, installations, light art, drag performances, video art, DIY and upcycled art, conceptual performance art, and sculpture. Art that has been created in response to political unrest or music is strongly encouraged. Only artworks created after 2020 will be considered for the exhibition. Key dates:
