FMG Call for Entry: Self Portrait As… EXTENDED DEADLINE

June 10 - August 15

APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN NOW FOR ‘SELF PORTRAIT AS…’
SHOW DATES ARE  SEPTEMBER 12 – OCTOBER 31; APPLICATION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO AUGUST 15, 2025.

We invite you to apply to Self Portrait As…, a gallery show exploring identity through creative transformation. This exhibition encourages artists to depict themselves in imaginative ways, inspired by the mosaic of experiences, places, and elements that shape who they are. If you were a plant, a landscape, a season, or an object, what would you be? How do these interpretations reflect your journey, values, or essence?

Self Portrait As… offers a space to share personal stories through inventive self-representation, allowing viewers a glimpse into the many layers that make up each artist’s unique identity. Join us in this exploration of self, reimagined.
