OPEN CALL: Faces & Places

dodomu gallery is happy to announce our new open call - Faces & Places. This exhibition will showcase the beauty and diversity of portraiture and environments, whether they are real or imagined, natural or man-made. The show will run from December 4 - January 22, 2026 on our website.

The theme encourages you to examine the interplay between people and the spaces they inhabit and how these elements influence and shape one another. Whether you choose to focus on intimate details of a person’s face, the grandeur of a sweeping landscape, or the amalgamation of both, we invite you to explore the stories, emotions and narratives that emerge from these interactions.

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.
