OPEN CALL: Heatwave

dodomu gallery is excited to announce an open call Heatwave. The exhibition will run from August 7 - September 18, 2025 on our website.

Heatwave is an exhibition that aims to capture the essence, intensity, and vibrancy of summer. From the scorching sun to the cool relief of shade, from the vibrant colors of summer blooms to the lazy, hazy days of summer vacation, we seek works that embody the season's spirit. We invite artists to explore the multifaceted experiences of summer and its visual language - warmth, bright colors, light, energy and emotions it evokes.

Contemporary representational and abstract work will be considered. Artists are invited to submit their work related to the exhibition theme in various media of drawing, painting, printmaking, collage, sculpture, installations, ceramics, textiles, photography, digital and mixed media.
