Wide Awake — Artist Invitation

Artist Invitation

You're invited to participate in an exhibit in Tampa, Florida at Wave & See Creative Sanctuary, curated by mergeculture Gallery.

The theme revolves around Wide Awake — loosely aligned with the third eye (Ajna), heightened perception, and stepping into the year of the Fire Horse.

We're accepting work immediately. Older work is welcome — and if you feel inspired to create something new, that's welcome too.

Gallery Structure

Wave & See is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit gallery, yoga studio, and shared studio space.

No commission: artwork is sold directly to artists (preferred). If needed, we can process payment as an organization. Buyers are encouraged to donate or become members to support the sanctuary.

Shipping

Local artists: Drop off in person — we'll coordinate times.
Domestic shipping: We'll send a tracked/insured address after acceptance.
International: Same process. Reimbursement available case-by-case.
