Love...or something like it

Love embraces a broad range of strong emotional states, from the most sublime to the simplest pleasure. We love at first sight, fall in love, become addicted to love. Romance looms large in our natures. Love can be as light hearted as puppy love, or be platonic or simple affection. It might be deeply complex or dark like obsessive passion, lovesickness, unrequited love or a broken heart. All media (except video/installations) are welcome.

Core New Art Space invites all artists of any mediums, 2d & 3d (except video/installations). Entries must be submitted electronically by January 14th, 2021 and accompanied by a $35.00 fee (for up to 3 works).
