Ethnic Ancestry / Calls & Submissions
Deadline
September 12, 2026
Organization Name: UPWARD Gallery
Organization Location: Online
Type: Calls & Submissions
Fee: $15+
We invite artists to submit work for “Ethnic Ancestry” — an exploration of heritage, roots, and the traditions carried across generations: the stories, symbols, and identities that shape who we are. This online exhibition welcomes all mediums and styles, offering artists a chance to share their vision with a global audience.
Submissions are open to all media, including painting, drawing, digital art, sculpture, printmaking, photography, textiles, and mixed media.
Awards: publication and interview opportunities in UPWARD’s print magazine and website, a digital certificate, and a personal artist page on the gallery website. The exhibition will also be promoted via our website and social media channels.
Founded in 2021, UPWARD Gallery connects artists with new audiences through a modern online platform. We help emerging artists get discovered — and established artists reach further.
