August Open Call: "Hindsight"

Artjobs Listing

The Call to Action

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.

Theme

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.  


  • Hindsight Bias is defined as believing you could have predicted the outcome of a situation once the situation is over. 


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.

Summer of Love Open Call

Webbie Social Listing

The Call to Action

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. Our ongoing collaboration with Webbie Social is another way to kickstart your art career and be a part of the art world on your terms!

Theme

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.


  • What does a "Summer of Love" look like to you?


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.
