In a standout exhibition called Arch Enemy Arts, the gallery is seeking submissions for an annual group exhibition slated for January 2027.
This spotlight exhibition welcomes new and emerging talent without any themes or direction in subject matter. The gallery focuses primarily on representational, dark surrealism, magical realism, post-graffiti, pop-surrealism, narrative, illustrative, and figurative works spanning various artistic mediums. Artists from around the world are invited to submit up to three works before the deadline of November 13, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. EST. The exhibition offers a direct pathway for artists to gain exposure among an international community of curators, artists, gallerists, and arts administrators.
