Open Call for Artists: The Pieces of Me
Guest Curator: Nadia Thompson

ArtEast invites artists worldwide to submit works for The Pieces of Me, an exhibition exploring the essence of identity in the heart of East London.

Curated by Nadia Thompson, this show seeks art that explores the essence of what it is that makes you who you are.

We want to see works celebrating the parts we proudly display and the ones we keep hidden, the pivotal moments that shape us, and the serendipitous encounters that transform us.

In honour of Mental Health Awareness Month, we especially welcome works that reflect self-compassion, resilience, and personal growth.

Artists of all backgrounds and mediums are encouraged to apply. Let your work tell the story of you!

Why Now?

May is a transformative month; tied to nurturing and greatness in ancient cultures, today it is globally recognized as Mental Health Awareness Month. This exhibition looks to unite these themes, highlighting the strength found in self-reflection and creative expression.
