CALL FOR ART: Dissent & Resistance – America at the Crossroads

Submission Deadline: May 2nd, 2025
Exhibition Dates: May 9th to June 9th
Location: Cambium Gallery, 1030 Duane Street, Astoria OR 97103

We are witnessing a pivotal moment in American history—a rise in authoritarianism, suppression of rights, and the dismantling of democracy. This show seeks to confront and expose the realities of the current fascist takeover in the U.S., through the voices of artists who refuse to stay silent.

We invite visual artists, photographers, sculptors, digital creators, and multidisciplinary artists to submit works that explore themes of political resistance, propaganda, erasure of rights, surveillance, oppression, civil unrest, and the fight for democracy.

What We’re Looking For:

• Art that challenges political authoritarianism

• Works highlighting resistance movements and activism

• Explorations of media manipulation and state control

• Personal narratives of those affected by political violence

• Symbols of hope, revolution, and defiance

Submission Guidelines:

• Open to all artists

• Accepting 2D, 3D, digital, video, and mixed media works

• Submit high-resolution images (or video links) with an artist statement

• No entry fee, but donations welcome to support the exhibition

To Submit: Info@cambiumgallery.com
