applications for solo & small group exhibitions 2025 - 2026

At Obsidian Bide, we want to celebrate the full spectrum of creative expression - from accomplished professionals to bold new voices and build exhibitions that bring together artists - at all stages of their journey.

Whether it's a debut collection or the latest in an established career, our visitors can expect an ever-evolving showcase of thought-provoking, beautifully crafted, and culturally resonant artworks—designed to inspire, challenge, and connect.

OBSIDIAN BIDE endeavors to practice originality and innovation in the development of quality art exhibitions and programs and develop new audiences through expanding cultural tourism.

In planning our exhibition program, WE ACCEPT APPLICATIONS FOR EXHIBITIONS VIA AN EXPRESSION OF INTEREST to help us to achieve that goal. Our preference is to present artists with work that is relatively new and has not been widely exhibited - especially in our local area.

GROUP EXHIBITION CALL OUT -

THE COLLECTIVE 2025

CALLING ALL ARTISTS - JOIN THE COLLECTIVE 2025

Be part of our debut group exhibition exploring themes of unity, shared identity, multiplicity, and collective experience.

The Collective 2025 invites artists to reflect on the many ways individuals come together: in harmony, in tension, in movement, or in resistance.

What does it mean to be part of something greater?  This is your invitation to respond — creatively, honestly, and boldly.

Whether it's a family, a community, a swarm, a protest, a ritual, or a network - collectives can empower, constrain, support, or transform.

This theme offers a rich platform for artists to explore personal, political, social, or spiritual interpretations of collective experience.

All mediums welcome. All career stages invited.

Experimental, new media, and large-scale works encouraged.

🔕 No bird themed submissions, please.

Let your work speak to the power and complexity of The Collective 2025.
