YEAR ZERO :: 15 SEPTEMBER - 20 OCTOBER 2018
OPEN CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

"The new vision of the universe... must be kept alive. The only people that can keep it alive are artists... [The] artist['s] function is the mythologization of the environment and the world." - Joseph Campbell. The Power of Myth, "The First Storytellers"

Year Zero asks artists to conjure new magic, rituals, and mythologies to transcend polarities and transform cultural attitudes to guide us through these difficult times in contemporary society. Artists and visionaries have the power to stimulate new ways of thinking and reimagining approaches to stagnant and paralyzing situations and issues. Year Zero seeks submissions exploring concepts that elevate consciousness, alter current (binary) perceptions, and propel us forward into a new, universal vision.
 

ALL ENTRIES ARE DUE BY 6:00 pm EST, MONDAY, 20 AUGUST 2018

PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMISSIONS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE CAREFULLY.
