ArtAscent seeks entries from artists and writers around the world for an online exhibition, March 15, 2024 to March 15, 2026. Emotion fills, lifts, erupts, freezes, floods, and empties us. Are we emotions, or are feelings simply impulses that appear and disappear from our consciousness? Does emotion take us to a higher plane of existence or simply along a preprogrammed path? What are we without these feelings? How do we express them? What in our environment triggers them? Are they contagious? Share your interpretation of what is or inspires Emotion. Entries may include all art mediums that can be represented in 2D and written explorations of up to 1,800 words. Submissions must be the original work of the applicant(s). Entry fee: $20+. Deadline: December 31, 2023. More info.
