OPEN CALLS
Press Play: A Rewind Through Time
ART321 is seeking artwork inspired by the bold, colorful, analog world of the 1970s, 80s, and 90s for our August exhibit, Press Play: A Rewind Through Time.
Before smartphones and streaming, there were scratched VHS tapes, mixtapes recorded off the radio, glowing arcade screens, Trapper Keepers, sticker collections, and Saturday morning cartoons. This exhibit celebrates the nostalgia, aesthetics, pop culture, toys, trends, and technology that defined a generation.
We’re looking for artwork that explores or reimagines the cultural artifacts and visual language of the pre-digital era - whether through sincerity, humor, irony, memory, or pure neon chaos.
Think:
VHS tapes & cassette players
Roller rinks & arcades
Lisa Frank aesthetics
Saturday morning cartoons
Landlines & floppy disks
Retro gaming culture
Polaroids & disposable cameras
Toys, collectibles & childhood nostalgia
Mixtapes, Walkmans & boom boxes
Pop culture moments from the 70s, 80s & 90s
Whether you lived through these decades or are inspired by them secondhand, we invite artists to hit rewind and revisit a world that still feels vivid, vibrant, and unforgettable.
All mediums welcome!

Monster Mash
Not every monster hides under the bed.
Some are goofy. Some are lovable. Some collect socks, drink too much coffee, or are afraid of the dark themselves.
Monster Mash celebrates the playful side of monsters, inviting artists to imagine original creatures full of personality, humor, and heart. We're looking for whimsical beasts, misunderstood creatures, oddball friends, magical cryptids, fuzzy giants, tiny troublemakers, and imaginative characters that feel like they belong in their own story.
Your monster can look intimidating at first glance, but maybe it's secretly kind. It might be clumsy, curious, shy, mischievous, adventurous, or completely ridiculous. Give it quirks. Give it a backstory. Give it personality.
This is a family-friendly exhibit that encourages creativity, storytelling, and fun. Surprise us with creatures we've never seen before.
All mediums are welcome!
This is NOT a juried exhibition.
While this is not a juried exhibit, it is not a horror show. Artwork should be appropriate for a family friendly show. Extremely graphic violence, excessive gore, disturbing imagery, or purely horror-themed work may not be accepted.
