I am so thrilled to have been selected for MEPAINTSME Open Call 2025, one of only 50 artworks to be chosen. I have followed the work of the curator for many years, always admiring their style and taste, so it is great to become part of it all.
On view August 7 – September 10 2025
They say:
‘MEPAINTSME’s Annual Open Call is a juried exhibition and fundraiser aimed at providing a platform for emerging and mid-career artists, while also supporting important social and humanitarian causes. Since its inception in 2022, the Open Call program has featured the artwork of 130 international artists, and raised over $16,000 support to important charitable causes — in 2022, Ukrainian Relief organizations; in 2023, groups working to end gun violence in America; and in 2024, to support the great work of three non profit organizations that provide inclusive and enriching programming for artists with disabilities. The Open Call 2025 Exhibition and Fundraiser will support disaster relief for the creative and culinary communities of Western North Carolina through WNC Tip It Forward, a recovery effort organized by ArtsAVL and AIR.
We developed the Open Call program because we care deeply about providing equal opportunities for artists to expand their audience and reach. As the gallery does not accept unsolicited submissions, the annual Open Call is the best way to submit your artwork for consideration by the artist and curator, mepaintsme. A number of artists selected for Open Call Exhibitions were invited by mepaintsme to join future group and solo exhibitions at the gallery.’
More information, including the selected artwork, will follow. Keep an eye on my instagram and that of MEPAINTSME from August 1st 2025 onwards.
