SaveArtSpace is proud to present Growth - New Beginnings, a public art exhibition on ad space in Washington, DC, starting March 7, 2025, curated by Terrell Lomax Russell.

The "Growth - New Beginnings" artist call invites artists to explore themes of personal and societal transformation, renewal, and the endless possibilities that come with fresh starts. This open call encourages creative expressions that reflect the beauty of growth, whether it’s the blossoming of nature, the evolution of the human spirit, or the dynamic changes in our world. Artists are asked to submit works that symbolize hope, regeneration, and the optimistic energy of embarking on a new journey, whether through visual art, sculpture, photography, or mixed media. The call emphasizes innovation and seeks to highlight diverse perspectives on how growth and new beginnings manifest in both intimate and global contexts.

We invite artists of all ages and talents to submit their artwork between November 26, 2024 and January 20, 2025. This is an opportunity to have your work placed on ad space in Washington, DC.

Open call for art ends January 20, 2025. There is a $10 donation per image submission to participate, each donation is tax deductible and goes to producing the public art. Selected artists will be announced after February 3, 2025. Public art will be installed March 7, 2025 in Washington, DC, and will be on view for at least one month.
