AUTOMAT announces a call for artworks for their 2023 Open Call exhibition, open to emerging and mid-career artists working in any medium in the Philadelphia region and beyond. This group exhibition will be curated by our members, and will run from December 14th 2023 - January 20th 2024. Please see submission requirements below to apply.

 

Open calls introduce your work to our curators and present possibilities for future exhibitions even if you are not included in this group show. Our members often review our open call records when preparing for new projects.

​

Each artist must fill out the digital application HERE and pay the application fee at the bottom of this page. Both the application form and payment must be submitted before October 30th to be considered for exhibition.
