Call for art: RED

"RED" 

 whitecube contemporary, a new urban contemporary art gallery in Chicago invites regional and national artists to submit original works of art for our first annual national art exhibition - "RED". 

Passion, courage, love. 

Anxiety, war, anger. 

Defiance, aggression, power.  

This is RED.

If your piece is singularly RED,  features dominant RED  elements, or simply prominently features RED in a contemporary way, we want to see it. 

The #1 overall top-winning artist will be the Best in Show winner of the exhibition. Winners will receive publicity and promotion.
