WHIM: Open Group Exhibition Callout

Deadline:

Deadline: May 10

Untether Gallery invites artists to participate in WHIM, an open group exhibition exploring spontaneity, imagination, and playful curiosity.

The exhibition centres on the idea of “whim” as a moment where imagination drifts beyond the sensible—embracing surprise, humour, and the unexpected. Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme freely, responding through any medium in ways that celebrate creative mischief and exploration.

This is an inclusive open call, with all entries accepted provided they meet the terms and conditions.
