Enter today!
The Dada movement, known for its unconventional and often absurd approach to art, paved the way for the surrealist movement and influenced many artists to push the boundaries of traditional art making. With the constant evolution of technology, the rise of social media, duct taped bananas and AI intelligence, the art world is sure to see even more avant garde innovation in the future. We love it! We want it! Bring us your unconventional, atypical, bizarre, eccentric, idiosyncratic, individualistic, offbeat, unique, unorthodox and unusual work.
Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity to enter this unique art show and be a part of the next movement in the art world.
Mission: Unifying Chicago and the surrounding cities through a common exhibition theme in order to bring arts organizations together, to build on our connections and community.
This exhibition is created in cohesion with The Art Center Highland Park, Chicago Women’s Caucus for Art and Stola Contemporary Art.
