“Nighttime: shadow, low light, atmosphere, color shifts, silhouettes, spaces that come alive after dark”
THEME
Night changes everything. Colors fade, shadows stretch, and details soften. What was familiar becomes mysterious, and what was hidden settles out of view. We invite artists to submit work exploring the visual and emotional qualities of nighttime: shadow, low light, atmosphere, color shifts, silhouettes, and the spaces that come alive after dark. Show us NIGHT MOVES from your perspective.
