Description

“On the Altar of the Arts” is an annual exhibition which explores a given theme and asks the artists to deep dive into the subject.

The theme for the 2026 exhibition is “Black Line”  and explores the power of lines: literal and symbolic.

The interpretation is up to you, the artist. We want you to develop this concept, Using just black and its variations, to put your individual ideas, expressions, and emotions into the work, and make that human connection.

Submissions are now open, and will close at 5pm on Thursday 30th April.
