LightSpace Gallery is now accepting entries for our upcoming online exhibition, Displacement. The exhibition will run from April 1 to June 20, 2023, ending on World Refugee Day. There is NO entry fee. All art mediums are allowed: drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, embroidery, digital art, etc. The only requirement is that the work must deal somehow with the idea of displacement.

 

The theme of "displacement" is very open to your own interpretation. Some possible meanings include: people leaving their homes because of war, persecution, natural disaster, or another reason; feeling that you are out of place, or feeling that someone's place was taken by somebody else.

Good photographs are essential. When photographing your artwork:

1) Please be sure that in your photo, the artwork is viewed straight-on,

not at an angle. Point the camera at the front and center of your artwork.  

​

2) Please be sure that no part of your artwork is cropped out of the photo,

and that no object is in front of your artwork blocking any part of it from view.

​

3) Please be sure that there are no shadows across your artwork.
