Something for Everyone²


Deadline: 11:59 p.m. (CST) November 15, 2022*

Our pre-eminent holiday show Something for Everyone returns for 2022, with a twist! Something for Everyone SQUARED is a visual art exhibit aimed at providing a little something square for everyone during the holiday shopping season. This exhibit is seeking square-shaped artworks of any style (or 3d works that incorporate squares/cubes), or works that play with the idea of squares and cubes. We’re open to creative interpretations of this beloved shape! 

For example, a work of any medium, topic, genre and style is applicable if it is on a square canvas/paper, or a cube-shaped sculpture. Landscapes, portraiture, painting, animals, drawing, printmaking, jewelry, whatever goes! If it’s on a square or incorporates them in some way, it’s fair game! Feel free to play with those restraints in creative ways.

This will be a physical visual art exhibit located in Downtown Raleigh, North Carolina. All United States artists are eligible.The show will be December, 2022 at 311 Gallery, located at 311 W Martin St, Raleigh, NC. All artworks must be physical, for sale, and ready for installation (details further below in call).

All works should not exceed $800 in retail price. As a gallery we’ve identified the $400-$600 range to be our most popular price range for serious art buyers on a budget, so we recommend aiming for that range or lower.
