The Gift You Never Wanted


We are often given gifts that are unsightly, unseemly, or straight out of a nightmare. Often these “gifts” stay with us, sometimes for the better. The gifts we never wanted take many forms, both physically and emotionally. In the end we have to ask—are gifts given for the sender or the receiver?

For the exhibition The Gift You Never Wanted, Non-Fiction Gallery seeks works of art that explore the idea of the gift as a burden or a blessing. Artists of all media and practice are invited to submit to this openended theme.

To submit to The Gift You Never Wanted, please pay your application fee artrisesavannah.org/the-gift/ and send between four and six images to exhibitions@artrisesavannah.org by midnight on November 7th.

Please label each image in the following manner: Artist Name _ Title _ Medium _ Dimensions _ Year

The subject line for the email should be The Gift You Never Wanted. In your submission email please also include a current artist statement, your phone number, address, and artist website.

Your submission will not be reviewed and considered for The Gift You Never Wanted until payment is received, and ALL of your information is accounted for.
