CALL FOR ART: UV Reactive artworks for the March exhibit at HIVE artspace
Submissions Due: February 15 (by midnight).
Exhibit dates: March 6-28, 2026.
Let's GLOOOOW! For this fun exhibit HIVE artspace is seeking submissions of UV reactive* artworks that can function in normal lighting but have features that glow or luminesce under black light / UV light. The entire piece does not have to be reactive, it can be smaller select elements or up to the entire piece. Open subject.
(*UV reactive materials interact with ultraviolet (UV) light, which is invisible to the human eye. They absorb UV energy and re-emit it as visible light, making them appear to glow when illuminated by a UV source.)
There is no fee to submit artwork for consideration. Submitting artwork does not guarantee acceptance into the exhibit. All mediums are welcome.
SUBMISSION NOTES:
• Up to 3 submissions allowed. See important note below regarding submission images.
• There is no fee to submit, but there is a $5 exhibit fee for accepted artists ($5 total regardless of number of artworks accepted.)
• Gallery Commission is 35% on artworks sold.
• Final artwork must be ready-to-hang/display, we use single nail hanging on most works (sawtooth hangers ok, command strips are not).
TO SUBMIT (please read carefully):
Please send ONE E-MAIL with subject line GLOW2026 to [email protected] with the following items:
• Up to 3 submissions in low-resolution jpeg format. Images must clearly represent the work, as these images will be used in the accompanying on-line gallery. Watch for glare / background clutter, photographing them against a white or solid colored wall is best for our use. Indirect natural light will give you the truest colors and nicest lighting for your images. Please get them as "square" in the frame as possible.
• Your name, city & state as it should appear on exhibit materials.
• Title, medium, size*, price (in that order) for each artwork submitted. *Please include actual artwork size AND framed size as applicable.
• Any time constraints you may have, i.e. shipping, printing, or framing time needed.
• Link to more of your artwork on-line (optional, but highly recommended).
IMPORTANT DATES:
• Submissions due: February 15 by midnight.
• Drop-off for accepted artwork: February 28 & March 1.
• Exhibit Opening: First Friday March 6, from 5-9.
• Exhibit Dates: March 6-28, 2026.
• End of show artwork pick-up: March 29.
We look forward to seeing your work!
