The 34 Gallery is an International Mental Health Arts Initiative!
The 34 Gallery invites artists to join our creative community to help reduce global rates of suicide, depression, PTSD and other mental health issues among youth and adults. This month, we are particularly interested in works by artists utilizing this art therapy open call to address regret, trauma recovery, substance abuse recovery, PTSD, and negative self-talk spirals.
Our August Open Call, “Hindsight," has been created by our 34 Gallery Staff to generate discussion on past experiences that gain clarity over time. Our initiative aims to channel the power of art to explore monthly mental health themes through art therapy.
Themes: We invite artists to explore the moments we wish we could change, the situations that shaped us, and the people we are as a result. Perhaps hindsight means acknowledging your own part in those unfolding events. Maybe it's the relationship you should have left sooner or the apology you never got to say. Or it could be expressing the human fragility of being caught up in a situation that is simply beyond your control. However, confronting all this takes courage. This month, we're asking artists to be brave enough to heal the past.
Remember: Artists create Golden Ages. Join us in starting one! Let's remind humanity to embrace the light of who we are. Your artistic advocacy with us can and will make a difference. As a Mental Health Art Gallery, we are asking Creatives to mobilize to help save lives at this time. Someone seeing your work can be inspired to keep going with hope and resilience despite their mental health struggles.
Requirements: Submit up to 3 works below or to submissions@34gallery.org by July 30th. Include the following questions in your cover letter:
. Selected artists will be notified by August 10th.

Hosted by The 34 Gallery and curated by the visionary team at JBR Visuals, this special open call invites creators to explore love in its most unpolished, personal, and powerful form.
Forget clichés. This is not about sunsets and Instagram nostalgia. This is love as rebellion, love as
texture, glitch, raw emotion—the kind of art that speaks before the artist does. Think:
• Chalk on metal
• Code that flickers like heartbeats
• Threads that carry memory
• Pixelated hope on cracked phone screens
Selected Artists Will Be:
• Featured across Webbie Social
• Showcased on The 34 Gallery website
• Promoted across Webbie and 34 Gallery’s social platforms.
Submit now: webbiesocial.com by June 30th

Be Advised: The 34 Gallery is an SDG 3.4 Mental Health Arts Initiative. A number of our artists are
working under the condition of anonymity due to international conflict, domestic violence, and
trafficking situations. For this reason, our content must pass global screening filters to continue
providing outreach and safe virtual spaces to these artists. Your work with us ensures they will continue
to have a creative mental health outlet.
