DARK II: Beyond the Veil
International Juried Exhibition
This October, we return to the shadows with Dark II: Beyond the Veil, an exploration of mystery, fear, beauty, and the unseen.
This October, we return to the shadows with Dark II: Beyond the Veil, an exploration of mystery, fear, beauty, and the unseen. This exhibition invites artists to step into the liminal space between worlds — where emotion becomes atmosphere, light meets shadow, and the unknown reveals itself in symbolic, surreal, or haunting forms. Whether psychological, supernatural, or symbolic, we want to see how you interpret darkness in its many forms: the quiet, the eerie, the introspective, the mythical, the emotional, the unseen. 🎨 All media welcome — figurative, abstract, surreal, conceptual, digital, photography, sculpture, mixed media, illustration, and atmospheric works of all kinds.
