SUMMARY:ARC Gallery: Body Sovereignty
DESCRIPTION:U.S. National Deadline: April 18, 2026 – ARC Gallery in
 vites artists working across all media to submit work that claims for 
 itself a radical ownership over sexuality, desire, and bodily identity
 . We are interested in art that refuses to be tamed — work that find
 s the erotic in the accidental, the absurd, the domestic, and the disc
 arded. Work that borrows the visual language of instruction and mechan
 ism only to subvert it. Work that is bold in its irreverence, polymorp
 hic in its affect, and unafraid to blur lines between innocence and pe
 rversion, function and fantasy, the handmade and the found.\r\nExhibit
 ion dates: June 5-26, 2026.\r\nELIGIBILITYOriginal works created withi
 n the last 5 years. All mediums and materials will be considered in ad
 dition to video and performance based arts. No projections or media in
 stallations will be accepted for this show due to space limitations. O
 pen to all artists, national and international.\r\nCURATORDanni O’Br
 ien (she/they) is a queer, interdisciplinary artist based outside Balt
 imore, MD. Through scavenging and collecting, O’Brien builds enigmat
 ic sculptures and reliefs from found objects, vintage patent diagrams,
  handmade paper pulp, ceramics, and the cast-offs of consumer culture.
  Her work grapples with queer identity, dystopian survival, and conspi
 cuous consumption — playful and absurd on the surface, deeply medita
 tive underneath. O’Brien has exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary
  Art Arlington, Asya Geisberg Gallery, Hamiltonian Gallery, and the Vi
 rginia Museum of Contemporary Art, and has held residencies with The W
 assaic Project, Baltimore Clayworks, the Elizabeth Murray Artist Resid
 ency, Byrdcliffe Colony, and Stove Works, among others. She is the rec
 ipient of Individual Artist Grants from the Belle Foundation for Cultu
 ral Development and the Maryland State Arts Council.\r\nAPPLY ONLINE 
 – $40 Application\r\nNotification of Acceptance: By email on May 6, 
 2026.\r\nSALESWorks will be for sale unless noted as NFS (not for sale
 ) on the entry form. ARC takes a 20% commission fee on works sold. So 
 please price your work accordingly\r\n\r\nAbout:ARC Gallery and Educat
 ional Foundation is a non-profit, woman-run cooperative gallery dedica
 ted to providing alternative space exhibition opportunities for innova
 tive artists outside the commercial gallery system. Since 1973 ARC has
  given exposure and support to artists, providing an atmosphere for th
 e continued development of artistic potential and experimentation.\r\n
 ARC is run entirely by its women artist members; as a non-profit exhib
 ition space. ARC receives some support from outside funding sources bu
 t not enough to cover our operating expenses. Thus, to provide the spa
 ce and services we offer to exhibiting artists, we defray our expenses
  by charging exhibition fees. Each of the rental spaces in the gallery
  actually costs twice as much as we charge the artists.\n\nFor more in
