Open Call
30 Days to Create
On September 1, we’ll send out the prompt and some source material to spark ideas. From there, you’ll have 30 days to create your work of art and write a short artist statement for the object label.
We accept all mediums* — no limits on creativity. You make it, we showcase it.
-
Participation is free. You may need to cover framing costs, but we partner with local businesses to offer discounts on materials, studio time, and printing. Full details will be shared with the prompt on September 1.
-
When you receive the prompt, you’ll also get our Terms & Conditions. To confirm your spot, sign and return the participation form within 3 days (by September 3).
-
On November 6, we’ll host a showcase that’s more party than traditional gallery opening. Expect an approachable, lively atmosphere where you can talk about your work with guests and friends.
We’ll partner with live music, local bars, and more to make sure the event is actually fun.
-
MADE Events are open to all ages and therefore we ask that that explicit materials be censored, including:
Full nudity
Derogatory slang
Discriminatory content targeting any demographic
If you’re unsure whether your idea fits, we’re happy to review it with you in a quick call.
*You’re not locked into the medium you desingate in this form. It just helps us get a sense of the mix of work we might see so we can plan for space, installation, and resources.
ABOUT US
We’re a nonprofit organization pushing creatives to lean into their crafts, and find their personal style. We want to encourage everyone to rethink how things currently work - creatives doing freelance work for companies (capital), and losing their personal style and freedom while doing so. Every creative deserves to be hired for their style, and not compromise. So we made MADE.
