Carmela Loiacono, Art Historian & Curator, is proud to announce the selection for the collective exhibition NATURAL FLOW – Exploring water’s essence, that will be presented in Matera at Cultural Hypogeum Lega Navale Italiana – Sezione Matera Magna Grecia, from March 01 to 22, 2025.

The Concept

Throughout the centuries, water has inspired various artists and continues to be a source of inspiration for contemporary artists, taking on multiple symbolic meanings.
From the vision of seas, rivers and lakes to reflections on its conservation as a resource for the environment, the exhibition Natural Flow – Exploring water’s essence will explore the ways in which water can impact everyday life and inspire creativity. The artworks selected will celebrate the culture of water, the deep connection between art and this natural element without which we could not live.

The selection is open to a single artist or a collective of artists in these following categories: Painting, Photography, Sculpture, Illustration, Video art and Performance art. Artists, photographers, video makers, and performers are invited to submit their works. To take part in the selection, send your works’ submissions with a CV/biography, some still images (for video art), links to videos/films/performances and pictures via e-mail to carmelaloiacono.arthistorian@gmail.com

Artists interested in taking part in the events are free to be sponsored and supported by institutions, organizations, governments and their representatives; the logos of their sponsors will be included in all the communication (digital and print) of the events.
The submission proposal is free. The participation in the exhibition requires an entry fee ONLY for selected artists, that will be communicated after the selection based on the works selected.

The participation fee will be paid ONLY upon selection.
