IncuArts invites artists to submit work for Past/ Present/ Future- an exhibition exploring how time, experience, and history impact us. Who writes history? Are we simply repeating ourselves? How does the past impact the present and future? Whose narrative is being told? What future are you fighting for? What is your story? Has your story been ignored by the collective mainstream?

Artists exploring ideas related to personal narrative, history, cultural issues, environmental issues, inclusion v exclusion, and social activism are encouraged to apply.

Women, BIPOC, LGBTQA+, and other community members who embody these experiences, and whose stories have been excluded from our cultural narrative are strongly encouraged to apply.

Artists of all media are encouraged to apply.

Each artwork will be considered based upon the merit of individual images submitted by each artist. Strict theme based entries are not necessary- the theme is a jumping off point, and meant to start a visual discussion.

A brief artist statement reflecting your ideas and how your identity is related to the exhibition theme is suggested.

Selected artists will have their work featured in the online exhibition and via social media platforms.
