SOME IMPORTANT UPDATES:
Things have changed since we started, and so are the ways we’re doing things. While this site was initially all about showcasing work that had been cancelled/disrupted/delayed, we are now open to figuring out interesting ways to present new/developing work.
We are also working in partnership with some very exciting arts organizations, creating new opportunities for artists to exhibit their work. If you’re an arts org that’s interested in partnering, don’t hesitate to get in touch!
Unfortunately, due to the volume of submissions, we are not able to post all submissions, and do not accept student work.
If your post is selected for submission, you will be contacted over email when your post is going live. I’m sorry, but we are only able to contact those who have been selected for exhibition on the site.
