Open call: Magic in Art

Artist reception: Friday, December 12, 5:00-8:00 pm
Magic in Art, Electra Gallery’s final exhibition of 2025, takes its name from André Breton’s 1957 text of the same name published this year in English translation for the first time by Fulgur Press. The exhibition will look at the use of visual language and the techniques of the artist to create paintings, drawings, sculpture, and other works that are intended to be vehicles of transformation – affecting the viewer and the world around them in tangible ways.
Artists who make images and objects that aim to heal, enlighten, manifest, protect, or otherwise actively influence their environments, and those that behold them, in specific ways are encouraged to apply.
(The gallery cannot accommodate artworks larger than 30” on any side.)
Free to apply. Artist will be responsible for shipping costs to the gallery and return shipping if necessary.
