“Wild thing, I think you move me / But I wanna know for sure…”
— “Wild Thing,” The Troggs
Creativity can be a beast. Unpredictable, elusive, even feral. Often, that tension helps bring a work to life.
For this Juried Summer Call for Entry, share work where you let loose or let yourself get lost. Maybe you were gestural or playful, took on an unusual material, or subverted expectations. Maybe your process subverts the theme itself, venturing somewhere quiet, tame or contemplative. Whether your work directly depicts the natural world or ventures somewhere else entirely, show us where you go when your creativity is unfettered.

About the Supporter Gallery
The Supporter Gallery at ARTS Southeast, established in 2022, is a dedicated space where Artist Supporters have three exhibition opportunities per year. Encircling our central gallery and running along a loop of artist studios, it is a high-visibility space in the heart of our community, showcasing our Supporters and helping to set the tone of our creative space. Running in tandem with our main exhibition space The Ellis Gallery and Artist Residency projects, it exists in conversation with events throughout the year. The Supporter Gallery strives to support and uplift emerging and established artists through every step of the exhibition process. Questions about the application or results are always welcome. Artists should contact the Supporter Gallery curator, Samantha Mack, with any questions: sam@artssoutheast.org
