The 34 Gallery is an International Mental Health Arts Initiative!
Our Open Call theme is "Nature Therapy," based on an artwork from 34 Gallery Artist Web Horizons. Celebrate Earth Day with us!
We ask artists to explore the connection between dreaming and natural landscapes, consciousness and existence on our planet. We invite you to depict the wonder of the elements, the magic of the night sky, and the hidden mysteries of seasonal phenomena. Your work should reflect Nature and the Earth as inspirations for the people we hope to become. We also encourage you to illustrate positivity, inspiration and joy. Share your vision of Earth in the future!
Additional theme suggestions: Environmental activism, outdoor activities, nature scenes, and taking breaks from social media/technology for self-care.

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.
