Calling for Exhibiting Artists at Cal: Showcase your Artworks at the Want and Loss: Art Expo!

GIFTS at Berkeley is running an art exhibition surrounding the theme “Wants and Loss”. We are looking for artworks made by artists of the Berkeley community that highlight how losses shape us and bring us gains in other ways – how does this impact of loss/gain on us evolve overtime? This can be a person, item, feeling, or any moment in your life. Any medium is welcome: drawing, painting, sculpture, video, short writing...we welcome and encourage all forms of creativity!

Ready to contribute your creative voice about the impact of loss/gain? This would be a great opportunity to showcase your work to the Berkeley community!

If you are interested, please fill out the artist interest form by navigating to the link in our bio: https://tinyurl.com/giftsartexpo. We will send you further information regarding the EXPO and how to submit your works!
