SUMMARY:MFA : After Dark 2026
DESCRIPTION:International Deadline: August 26, 2026 – After Dark is
  a captivating art exhibition that explores the quiet, mysterious, and
  evocative world that emerges when the sun goes down. Whether it’s t
 he gentle flicker of a single lamp in an open window or the vast, star
 lit silence of a rural field, After Dark reveals how night transforms 
 the way we see, feel, and imagine. Through a curated collection of pai
 ntings, photographs, installations, and mixed media works, After Dark 
 will lure viewers into a realm where light fades, shadows stretch, and
  the ordinary becomes infused with mood, ambiguity, and atmosphere.\r\
 nThis exhibition is a meditation on the nocturnal, a celebration of th
 e unseen, and a tribute to the artistry that arises when the world gro
 ws quiet and the light begins to fade. Works selected by the juror wil
 l be exhibited in MFA’s After Dark exhibition through our Virtual Ga
 llery from October 15 – December 14, 2026.\r\nELIGIBILITYEntry is op
 en to all artists from around the world, with exception of sanctioned 
 countries. Any original 2D or 3D work that follows our exhibition guid

 , subtle contrasts, and softened forms to express the stillness and in
 trospection that twilight and night inspire.\r\nJURORKevin Murphy, Eug
