Call for Art

Beauty in the Broken: A Celebration of Mending, Memory, and Meaning
We invite artists, makers, and poets to submit work for an upcoming exhibition inspired by the Japanese art of kintsugi—the centuries-old practice of mending broken pottery with gold, emphasizing rather than hiding the cracks.

This call is open to all mediums that explore the theme of repair, resilience, and transformation.

Deadline extended to September 15th!

We welcome:
– Mixed media works that combine the broken with the beautiful.
– Poetry or prose that speaks to healing, imperfection, and the profound beauty found in restoration.

You do not need to be a ceramicist or follow kintsugi techniques literally. Let the concept guide you.

Submission Guidelines:
– Open to artists and writers of all experience levels
– Include a short statement (50-100 words) about your piece and how it connects to the theme
– Deadline: September 15th, 2025
– Exhibit Dates: September 26th – October 18th, 2025
– Submit to: wheatgrassbooks@gmail.com
