About
Submit 1–5 original artworks in any media for a national juried exhibition exploring what endures and stays with you.
Overview
The Space Between Is What Remains is a national juried exhibition at Rolo Gallery, a new contemporary art gallery in Denver's Art District on Santa Fe. We're looking for work that holds something — a mark, a quality of light, a feeling that doesn't leave. Abstract, figurative, or anywhere between. All media welcome. The show asks what endures and lets each artist answer that question in their own way. There is no single interpretation we're looking for; your work doesn't need to explain itself or announce its connection to the theme. If it resonates with you, that's enough.
