FMG Call for Entry: Wide Open Spaces

January 6 - March 2

Applications will be opening soon for ‘Wide Open Spaces: The Lives & Livelihoods of the American West’
Application Window January 6 – March 3, 2026
Show dates are April 10 – May 29, 2026

The Full Moon Gallery will be accepting submissions soon for our spring 2026 exhibition, Wide Open Spaces: The Lives & Livelihoods of the American West. This show is a love letter to our community and western culture, reflecting the landscapes, people, environments, animals, and everything else that makes the place we call home.

We’re looking for art that shows the west in all its unique forms. That could mean photography from iconic peaks to the smallest critters, sculpture showing the flora and fauna of the region, paintings capturing western textures and big skies, portraits of cowhands and ranchers, indigenous beading and weaving, silversmithing, leatherworking, and more. If your art is inspired by or celebrates western spirit and culture, we want to see it!
