Open Call - Impossible Cities

The Arttere Institute invites artists from around the world to submit their works for our new exhibition, "Impossible Cities".

This is an opportunity to explore the concept of cities that exist only in the imagination, transcending the boundaries of reality and conventional urbanism.

“Impossible Cities” challenges artists to imagine urban landscapes that defy the laws of physics, time, and social norms. These cities can be dreamlike, dystopian, or utopian—reflecting personal interpretations of what a city could be beyond our current limitations. The idea provokes questions about architecture, community, technology, and the environment, encouraging a broad spectrum of artistic expression.

Possibilities to Explore:

• Surreal Architectures: Structures that float, twist or mix nature with technology.
• Dystopian Futures: Cities shaped by climate change, social collapse or political unrest.
• Utopian Ideals: Visions of harmony, sustainability and innovative living.
• Cultural Narratives: Representations of cities that celebrate or criticize social constructions.

We accept a variety of media — painting, sculpture, photography, digital art, installation, and more.

Submission Guidelines:

Eligibility : Open to all artists, regardless of experience or location.

Submission Deadline : 12/12/2024

How to Submit : Register for free at  Arttere.org , create an artist profile, and submit your artwork through the platform by including  #ImpossibleCities in the description of the artwork  .

You can submit as many artworks as you like, all artworks submitted by the deadline with  #ImpossibleCities  in the description will be entered into the selection.

Selection:  A committee of curators will review all submissions and select the artworks that best fit the theme of the exhibition. 

The exhibition will be held at the  Arttere Virtual Gallery.

Join us in this exploration of the impossible. Let your creativity build the cities of tomorrow that defy the constraints of today.

We look forward to seeing your visions of "Impossible Cities"
