Open Calls
Works in Progress invites artists, designers, and makers to share the first sparks of something new, the beginnings of a larger body of work still taking shape. Maybe it’s the first piece in a new series, the seed of a concept that’s been tugging at you all year, or a shift in direction that marks where you’re heading next.
This show is about creative momentum, the moment when a new idea starts to take form and points toward what’s coming. It’s an exhibition of beginnings, where experimentation and curiosity take the lead.
We’re looking for work that signals a new chapter, a new rhythm, or a new obsession. Submissions can include print, paint, sculpture, photography, type, installation, digital, or mixed media. So, anything that captures the energy of starting something worth continuing.

An exhibition reimagining the target as a tool for transformation.
Gun targets: symbols of precision, violence, control, and sport. Mass-produced and immediately recognizable, they’re designed to be destroyed—pierced, punctured, obliterated. But what happens when we turn the target inside out?
Insights and In Sights invites artists, designers, and makers of all kinds to repurpose, rethink, and radically alter gun targets. Take aim at apathy. Use them not for harm, but for healing, protest, absurdity, or joy. Turn a bullseye into a bouquet. Transform crosshairs into compassion. Whether you’re staging a rally for justice, a campaign for dog adoption, or imagining a city blooming from the holes in its own past—this is your canvas.
We’re looking for works that challenge, delight, disturb, or propose. Responses can be personal, political, poetic, or all three. Submissions may include (but aren’t limited to): print, paint, sculpture, photography, textiles, mixed media, or digital work—so long as gun targets are part of the medium or message.
Let’s reframe what we’re aiming for.
