Call Description

 Sparks Gallery invites artists to submit work for an upcoming Pop Art Exhibition celebrating the bold, vibrant, and thought-provoking spirit of Pop Art. Inspired by popular culture, mass media, consumer goods, and everyday imagery, this exhibition will highlight contemporary interpretations of the Pop Art movement and its continued influence on visual culture today.

We are seeking artwork that embraces the playful, colorful, ironic, or critical language associated with Pop Art. Artists are encouraged to explore themes such as advertising, celebrity culture, comics, nostalgia, consumerism, and the visual language of modern life. Whether your work references classic Pop aesthetics or offers a fresh and unexpected perspective, we welcome creative and innovative submissions.

Artists may submit images of their work along with artwork details including title, medium, dimensions, and price. Selected works must be for sale.

This exhibition aims to showcase a dynamic range of artistic voices while celebrating the enduring impact of Pop Art on contemporary artists. We encourage submissions from emerging and established artists alike.

Shipping Window: July 8 – 15, 2026
