FORGED IN ISOLATON
March 2020 disrupted our daily lives and left us to navigate the feelings of loneliness and confinement. As artists this was exceptionally challenging taking a toll on our mental health while our resolve to create waned. As time went on, the constraints of life under lockdown eased up for some and we began to venture forward. Artists are encouraged to submit work to this open call that pays tribute to their personal determination to overcome a challenging situation through art.
