Soft Power Exhibition Open Call

RevArt invites artists to submit works for Soft Power, a Women’s History Month exhibition held in Los Angeles, CA.

Soft Power celebrates subtle strength, expressed through care, resilience, intuition, and the beauty of everyday gestures. The exhibition highlights qualities often associated with women’s experiences but universal in their emotional impact.

This year, the exhibition will place special attention on textile-based and fiber artworks. We are especially interested in works that incorporate stitching, weaving, embroidery, quilting, fabric layering, or other tactile processes that convey softness through material.

However, all wall-hung 2D mediums are welcome, including painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, and mixed media.

We are seeking artworks that explore:

• Texture, tactility, softness, or delicate craftsmanship
   
• Slow processes such as sewing, weaving, dyeing, or hand-building
   
• Themes of memory, care, healing, patience, or personal narrative
   
• Subtle or expressive visual interpretations of emotional strength
   
• Material-driven works that highlight detail, craft, and quiet resilience
   
• Calm, elegant, uplifting aesthetics suitable for a commercial gallery environment
   

All artworks must be ready to hang.

Exhibition Period: March - June, 2026

Submissions will be reviewed by art committee. Selected artists will be notified through email.
