CALL FOR ARTISTS
BODYSPACES – CANVAS INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2025
London | September 05 – 18, 2025
Deadline: June 27, 2025
ITSLIQUID Group, in collaboration with YMX Arts, is pleased to announce the open call for BODYSPACES, the first appointment of CANVAS INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2025, which will take place in London, at ELEMENTS Contemporary Art Space (click here to learn more on this venue) from September 05 to September 18, 2025.
CANVAS is an international Art Fair that will showcase collective and solo projects by leading and emerging international artists. The 2025 edition will represent a forum for the direct exchange of ideas and contacts between collectors, artists, photographers, designers and art professionals. The art fair features paintings, sculptures, photography, installations, video art and live performance.
The word “canvas” was used for the first time in Italy in the 14th century, and it has become the most common support medium for oil painting, replacing wooden panels. Over the centuries, the canvas’ meaning has changed, starting from paintings, through photographic and cinematographic film, exploring the human body, to the digital world. Canvas is the creatives’ common ground, on which they can express themselves.
BODYSPACES is about the perception of our body, the first step for the appropriation of our identity. The bodies are the spaces for human experimentation, for the achievement of humanity and its overtaking. The contemporary bodies are composed of corporal and virtual elements influenced by physical and psychical actions. The artistic work on the body’s hybridisation will create a new concept of humanity starting any kind of possible life in a contemporary multicultural society.
We invite artists to express, through their artistic research, the relationship between the body and human life, celebrating the new identities in contemporary times.
CANVAS INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR consists of 2 main events:
– BODYSPACES from September 05 to September 18, 2025
Deadline for applications is June 27, 2025 (11.59 PM your local time)
– VISIONS from November 21 to December 04, 2025
Deadline for applications is June 27, 2025 (11.59 PM your local time)
Artists interested in taking part in our shows are free to be sponsored and supported by institutions, organisations, governments and their representatives; the logos of their sponsors will be included in all the communication (digital and print) of the events. Artists are free to take part in one or more events.
To take part in the selection, send your works’ submissions with a CV/biography, some still images (for video art), links to videos/performances and pictures via e-mail to info@itsliquid.com

Description
ArtsWest seeks artists of ALL AGES to exhibit their artwork in the C-shaped Gallery that is also the lobby of the theater. It is the mission at ArtsWest to produce artistic events that provoke conversation, incite the imagination, and use live theater as a powerful agent of change. We are seeking artwork that enhances our 2025-2026 theater season entitled Between Us.
We are a theatre and gallery in West Seattle. Our goal is to marry what is on stage and what is in the gallery to allow our community to experience the themes, ideas, and cultural identities through 2 mediums: visual art & performance. This is
not to say that the visual art should draw direct parallels to the theatrical productions, but inherently compliments it through the programming of the gallery.
ABOUT THE THEATRICAL SEASON: In times of uncertainty, our greatest strength lies not in solitude, but in solidarity. Between Us is a season of five bold, contemporary plays that explore the invisible threads that bind us — the responsibilities we bear for one another, the debts of care we carry, and the lifelines we extend in moments of crisis.
These stories, rich in humor, heartache, and humanity, ask what we truly owe each other — as friends, as family, as neighbors, and as strangers finding connection in unexpected places.
We are able to accommodate all wall-mounted visual art & small space for ceramics and sculpture. No video installations.

The Gallery at Graphite Arts Center (Edmonds, WA) is seeking artwork for the upcoming exhibition ‘Tools: Form and Function’
About the exhibit
We use tools to do nearly everything. To eat we need a fork. To sleep we need a bed. Without changing themselves, tools are the implements that incite change, i.e. the fork moves the food. A tool can keep working as long as it has materials to work on. Tools can be as old as the concept of using tools, or they can be new inventions of futuristic design. The exhibit Tools: Form and Function looks at the foundational objects and implements we rely on every day, re-imagined through artistic interpretation. A creative response to the idea of “tools” is encouraged over literal illustration.
How to Apply
Complete prospectus and entry form can be found on the Graphite website

The Gallery at Graphite Arts Center (Edmonds, WA) is seeking artwork for the upcoming exhibition ‘Teen Open Call’
About the exhibit
Today’s youth are creative and talented and we want to celebrate their voices. Teen Open Call is a non-theme specific art exhibit designed to give area teens a voice through creative expression. Teen Open Call celebrates the artistic abilities of young artists (ages 13-19) in our community by showcasing youth art in a professional gallery setting at Graphite Arts Center for a 7 week exhibition. Graphite is seeking original, high quality, finished works by teen artists that display artistic talent, and skill with the use of chosen material.
Entry and acceptance to Teen Open Call provides opportunities not only for public display of artwork, but also public recognition beyond the school community. For most teens this will be the first opportunity to show in a gallery space outside of school. Mention of artwork exhibited in a public gallery may strengthen college applications and increase opportunities for scholarships.
This is a juried, group show with rules for submission, standards for acceptance and a small entry fee. Two-dimensional art must be framed for exhibition. All interested teens are encouraged to apply
