We are seeking submissions from artists working primarily in ink, including those exploring traditional and experimental techniques such as illustration, calligraphy, printmaking, tattoo art, and alcohol inks. This exhibition will highlight the versatility and creative possibilities of ink, from intricate linework and detailed compositions to bold, expressive, abstract, and unconventional applications. We welcome works that demonstrate strong visual impact, technical skill, and artistic intention, encouraging artists to explore the many ways ink can be used as a medium for creative expression. All submissions should feature ink as the primary medium and must be display-ready.
