Studio Co!Lab members and invited US artists, through Atelier Rosal (10 artists from Australia and 10 from the US), will be exhibiting works on paper (drawings, paintings, photographs, paper constructions, chap books of written work, musical scores/lyrics, digital (audio visual).

Open to all media that can theoretically fit in any medium sized suitcase excluding sculpture. Digital artists are responsible for their own presentation platforms and display mechanisms.

Please submit a 50-word bio and 100-word artist statement with the work about how it addresses the theme of Beyond Borders (beyond the geopolitical, migration, climate borders). Works to be exhibited at Atelier Rosal (or another agreed upon venue). NJ-based artists are invited to respond to theme or works across mediums.

There will be an opportunity for online connection between artists through an Orana Arts UNBOXED ‘roundtable’ event on Zoom during the presentation of work.

This collaboration presents the following opportunities:

• International presentation, collaboration, and networking opportunity.
• Start a conversation that might deepen over time and with more funding.
• This is a pilot to develop a case study for funding future opportunities, including residencies, presentations of work and potentially exchanges.

This call is open to both emerging and established artists in any medium. For a sample of the work being delivered please request with your submission. Please email links of images to submissions@atelierrosal.com
