Out of This World
Out of this World: An Open Juried Exhibition
DROP OFF DATE: APRIL 6
Exhibit dates: April 11th - May 17th, 2026
Opening Reception: April 11 3-5pm
Out of This World invites artists to explore the vast, the strange, and the wondrous—works that feel unbound by ordinary experience. This juried exhibition celebrates art that reaches beyond the familiar, whether through cosmic imagery, speculative futures, surreal environments, altered realities, or moments of profound awe.
Artists are encouraged to interpret “out of this world” broadly. Submissions may reference outer space, science fiction, astronomy, and celestial phenomena, but just as welcome are works that feel otherworldly in mood or concept: dreamscapes, uncanny forms, visionary narratives, or perspectives that stretch perception and imagination. The exhibition embraces curiosity, experimentation, and the thrill of encountering something unexpected.
Across all media and styles, Out of This World seeks work that transports viewers—art that suggests new worlds, challenges assumptions, or momentarily lifts us beyond the gravity of the everyday. From the cosmic to the contemplative, the playful to the profound, this exhibition is an invitation to imagine what lies beyond.
Running alongside Lauren Lortie’s 10 UFOs, the exhibition creates a dynamic dialogue between juried works and Lortie’s playful, provocative exploration of unidentified forms and otherworldly presence. Together, the exhibitions invite viewers to question perception, embrace curiosity, and revel in art that defies easy explanation. This is your opportunity to stretch imagination, challenge expectations, and make contact with the unknown.
