Emerge
D’art Gallery, a Contemporary Art Gallery in Denver's Art District on Santa Fe, invites you to submit up to three entries to the "Emerge" exhibition.  How have you emerged from the events of 2020?  Taking into account your personal, emotional, physical, environmental viewpoint, how has your perspective, lifestyle, or relationship to the environment changed?

The Call for Entry gives you the opportunity to share your experience expressed through your work about life moving forward.  Are you looking inward to understanding art and self in a different way; discovering an expansive and expressive freedom; re-assessing your life; re-aligning your relationship to the environment? Share what the process of emerging looks like for you. We look forward to receiving your entry.
